Bicyclists are often seriously injured when they’re involved in a collision with a motor-vehicle. This can result in a physical, emotional and financial burden on not just the victim but possibly also on the entire family. Accidents are caused by someone’s fault or negligence. Ontario’s no-fault accident benefits are available to all injured persons regardless of fault and you’re also entitled to make a personal injury claim against those responsible for the accident. Get in touch with a Vineland personal injury lawyer who has handled bicycle-collision accidents successfully before. Free consultation injury lawyers can provide an initial evaluation of your claim.
What To Do
It’s important to wait at the accident scene for police/traffic authorities to respond. Our Vineland car accident lawyers would advise you to do this if possible. However, if you’re injured, you need immediate medical attention because injuries which are assumed to be minor could later turn out to be more serious. This is also proof that you were injured. The police report will be filed as part of the traffic regulations and it would include statement of the at-fault party and witnesses if any.
Never attempt to confront or negotiate with at-fault drivers. They may apologize and offer help etc, but this does not take away from their fault or negligence.
Avoid communications with insurance companies, even your own, without the presence of a top personal injury lawyer in Ontario. In a vulnerable moment, you/your family could inadvertently make statements like, “I’m sorry, it was all my fault” or offer submissions, sign documents, provide authorizations etc that prove counter-productive to your compensation claim later.
It’s better to leave your bicycle and all other property exactly the way it was after the accident. Take photos or shoot videos if possible. Our experienced car accident lawyers would advise victims to get contact details of any witnesses, and also the at-fault party.
