      We Have the Experience, Resources & Skill You Need

      Did you know the first automobile collision in American history happened in New York City in 1896 and involved a motor vehicle killing a cyclist? More than a century later, bicycle crashes continue to occur on our roadways on a daily basis. With little to protect them, cyclists are nearly always the ones who get badly injured. Additionally, recent studies have shown that the car driver is at fault for car versus bicycle accidents the majority of the time.

      Recovering fair compensation after a bicycle accident can be confusing and difficult, with the insurance adjuster trying to undervalue your claim or delay payment. Do not let your rights be violated in any way – involve a Maryland bicycle accident attorney who has the resources and experience to protect you.

      Contact Alpert Schreyer, LLC today at 301-381-2655 for the legal representation you need.

      Determining Who is At Fault for Your Accident

      Proving who is liable for the crash is the first major hurdle in acquiring compensation for the victim’s losses. The Maryland bicycle accident lawyers will look at the following factors when determining liability in your case:

      • Car drivers pulling out of a parking spot or driveway and neglecting to look for cyclists
      • Drivers failing to look out for bicyclists at stop signs
      • Cars turning directly in front of bicycles
      • Motorists running stop signs or red lights when cyclist are at intersections
      • Speeding, drunk driving, driving while distracted, and other forms of driver negligence

      A motorist can also be held responsible for injuries caused even if there was no collision, such as when the bicyclist swerves to avoid a car door opening or a driver who cut them off. Our legal team utilizes the accident report, eye-witness statements, medical experts, and even accident reconstructionist to determine the exact cause of your bike crash.

      Recovering the Damages You Deserve

      Even when wearing protective gear, bicyclists commonly suffer very severe, life-threatening injuries when involved in a collision. Not only is it unfair, it’s unjust for injured cyclists to bear the financial burden of injuries caused by a reckless or distracted driver. Thankfully, bicycle accident victims can seek compensation to cover expenses related to their injury and damage to their property through a personal injury lawsuit.

      Damages that can be recovered from a bike crash, include:

      • Pain and suffering
      • Hospital bills
      • Bike repair or replacement
      • Rehabilitation costs
      • Lost wages and loss of earning potential

      To understand your right to compensation after a bike crash, contact Alpert Schreyer today! Our legal team can evaluate your case during a free consultation.

      Can I Seek Compensation from My Auto Insurance?

      Your auto insurance policy may cover you if you have been injured by a negligent driver while riding your bicycle. However, insurance company adjusters and their defense attorneys may fight hard to reduce the value of your claim in order to avoid paying out a large settlement. It is important that you have someone working just as hard on your side, looking out for your best interests, like the Maryland bike accident attorneys at Alpert Schreyer.

      Bicycling Safety Tips

      Bicyclists in traffic are allowed the same right-of-way privileges that motor vehicles enjoy and, yet, they are often ignored or overlooked. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) does a study each year to determine how many bicycle accidents, injuries, and deaths occur in the United States. In 2016, 840 bicyclists died in traffic collisions in the United States. Drivers either have a harder time seeing bicyclists because they are smaller than other vehicles, or they are simply not looking for them. Distracted and negligent drivers are a real hazard to bicyclists.

      There are a number of steps you can take to help lessen your injuries or to prevent an injury altogether:

      • Wear a helmet. Just as drivers are always told to wear a seatbelt, bicycle riders should always wear a helmet. A helmet is the single best way to lessen or prevent serious injuries from a biking collision. Head injuries accounted for over 62% of biking fatalities. Yet, the U.S government conducted a Gallup poll and discovered that half of all bicyclists wear a helmet “sometimes,” and only 35% of riders wear a helmet most of the time. Be safe; always wear a helmet.
      • Get a headlight. If you ride at night, you should definitely get a headlight for your bicycle. When you are near an intersection, oncoming traffic may not see you. If you have a headlight, there is a much greater chance you will be spotted.
      • Ride with traffic. Common wisdom may tell you to ride against traffic so that you can see oncoming vehicles. This is dangerous. Cars pulling out of driveways or turning onto the street may not look both ways for traffic. They are probably only watching for cars that will impede their ability to enter traffic. Once their way is clear they will turn, perhaps without looking the other way, and you could get hit. Also, if a car hits you head on, the impact of the collision will be greater. Some studies suggest your risk of being hit is seven times greater if you are riding against traffic.
      • Don’t stop in a blind spot. If you pull up alongside a car at an intersection, make sure they can see you. If the car is expecting to turn right and doesn’t see you, you run the risk of being hit when the light changes or the car chooses to turn on red. At an intersection it is much safer to ride behind a car.
      • Make yourself seen. Consider wearing a reflective vest or a safety triangle. Reflective gear can make you more visible during the night or during the day. You can never been too careful when on the road. Be careful if choosing to ride on sidewalks. Often, cars may not be able to see you when you cross the road if you are entering from the sidewalk. A rear light is also a worthwhile purchase.

Our Maryland bicycle accident lawyers at Alpert Schreyer help protect the rights of bicyclists in and around Maryland. We will provide you with a free case evaluation.

      Simply call 301-381-2655 and we will review your case and potential injury claim.

      When we are trying to determine the value of a bicycle accident injury case, we’re looking at several factors. First, what is the nature and extent of the injuries? It’s often very difficult to know at the outset of a case. We don’t know if our client is experiencing pain because they have a back sprain that’s going to resolve itself in two to three months, or because they might have a herniated disc in their back. Their injuries ultimately may never resolve, and it could be a permanent catastrophic injury.

      That’s why, before you talk to the insurance company, it’s extremely important to reach out to a personal injury attorney. Alpert Schreyer, LLC can assist you in navigating this complex legal system. Our fees are not upfront. We work on a contingency fee, meaning that there’s no cost to you unless we’re able to win your case.

      First, you should talk to the attorney you are considering and see what their experience is for handling cases like yours. Have they handled cases with catastrophic injuries before? Do your due diligence and Google them. See what their reviews are. See what their former clients have to say about them. Just like if you’re shopping for a hotel, see if they’re satisfied customers.

      Alpert Schreyer, LLC has a team of experienced personal injury attorneys. We’ve handled cases just like yours before.

      If you’re involved in a bicycle accident injury, there’s a number of pitfalls that you need to avoid. First, and most importantly, is talking to the insurance company without talking to a lawyer first. The insurance company would love nothing more than to settle your case for pennies on the dollar.

      Alpert Schreyer, LLC is trained to make sure that you get the best possible outcome in your case. We’re extremely adept at negotiating and taking cases to trial against the insurance companies.

      If you’ve been putting off reaching out to an attorney for your bicycle accident injury case because you’re concerned you can’t afford a lawyer, you need to understand that at Alpert Schreyer, LLC we operate on what’s called a contingency fee. That means there’s no upfront cost to you. There is no attorney’s fee whatsoever unless we’re able to win your case.

      It’s extremely important before you talk to the insurance company to give us a call. We offer free legal consultations.

      This is an extremely complex, complicated question, and a lot of times we don’t know the answer to that at the outset. It’s going to depend on a number of factors. It’s going to depend on where this injury happened, what the injury is, and what the extent of that injury is. Is it a permanent catastrophic injury, or is it something that’s going to resolve in a couple weeks or months?

      Ultimately, what it often comes down to is if the insurance company is going to come to the table. Will they offer us a full fair compensation for your case?

      It’s extremely important before you call that insurance company, to give Alpert Schreyer, LLC a call. We can offer you a free legal consultation. So make sure you allow us to deal with the insurance company before you make any recorded statement or do anything that could potentially damage your case.

      If you are involved in a bicycle injury accident with another motor vehicle and you’re concerned whether or not it was your fault, it’s important before you talk to the insurance company to talk to an experienced personal injury attorney. At Alpert Schreyer, LLC, we can offer you a free legal consultation.

      Before you speak with the insurance company, you should give Alpert Schreyer, LLC a call. We’ll be able to discuss with you whether or not you have a case. Do this before you give any recorded statements to the insurance companies. Because once you do, the insurance company will use your statement to deny coverage in your claim.
