We're familiar with the challenges that people who get injured on bikes or on foot can face in recovering the full value of their losses. Sometimes injuries are missed in the emergency room, and you later run into trouble in getting coverage for diagnosis, medication and treatment. You might also run into obstacles with the negligent driver's auto insurance carrier.
Bike accident victims should qualify for full tort coverage under Pennsylvania law, which means that you don't need to prove a permanent or disabling injury to recover the entire range of your damages.
Our attorneys know how to address problems like inadequate insurance coverage, uninsured motorist accidents, drunk driver cases, and arguments by the defense that the negligence of a pedestrian or bicycle rider was the primary cause of the accident.
Once we're comfortable with our ability to prove that the driver who hit you is legally responsible for your injuries under principles of negligence law, the main task is to make sure that we can document and recover the full value of your damages. These can include medical and hospital expenses, future treatment or therapy needs, lost income, and pain and suffering. Careful attention to the damages component of a personal injury case has been a hallmark of our client service for many years.

Don't be too quick to assume that your injuries aren't serious enough to justify the trouble of a personal injury claim. Head injuries, back trauma or internal organ damage can be hard to diagnose, and can sometimes generate unexpected problems during your recovery.
