More and more bicycles are used every year across the United States as a means of transportation as well for pleasure and exercise. The largest group of individuals who enjoy this pastime are children and teenagers and are at great risk for involvement in an accident if a vehicle driver is negligent. Contact our Greensboro bicycle accident attorney at once to pursue the just compensation you deserve.
Some of the most common causes of bicycle accidents include:
Inattention
Failure to yield
Failure to follow posted speed limits
Failure to ignore traffic laws
With very little protection on a bicycle, any impact from a vehicle in this kind of accident can cause catastrophic injuries such as brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, paralysis, back injuries, and even wrongful death. This recently happened in a case in North Greensboro involving David Sherman. Given the usual severity of injuries in bike cases, you should at least consult with a Greensboro bicycle accident attorney. James Roane would be glad to review your case with you for free.
Experienced. Dedicated. Ready To Fight For You.
With over 19 years of experience as a North Carolina attorney, James Roane has an excellent reputation as a leading personal injury attorney, having been voted “Legal Elite” top attorney in the Business NC Magazine in 2007 and received an AV rating from Martindale-Hubbell. You will probably need a strong attorney for a bicycle case as these cases can be hard-fought. Insurance companies may try to blame the bicyclist for sudden emergency turns, inattention, or allege contributory negligence. Most of these cases must be litigated first to get a good settlement, and some must simply go to court. Whether you speak with a Greensboro car accident lawyer, motorcycle attorney, or other personal injury lawyers, Roane Law can provide the legal representation you seek and deserve.
Case Results
Confidential Settlement
We represented a cyclist who crashed after a large dog bolted from a yard into the street and lunged at him. The sudden charge caused the rider to lose control and go down. We pursued the claim against the dog’s owner and resolved the case for our client.
