Take these important steps after an injury or fatal bicycle accident in Orchard Lake

When you have been seriously injured in a Orchard Lake bicycle accident, it’s hard to know what needs to be done immediately. Bicycle accidents often result in more severe injuries, and even fatalities, because bike riders are less protected from the impact of a crash. After an accident, a bike rider may face a daily struggle to recover from injuries while dealing with medical bills and lost income. And the families of bike riders killed in collisions must move forward in life without their loved one.

When a bike rider is injured or killed in a crash with a negligent driver in Orchard Lake, it is crucial to get help from an experienced bike accident lawyer. Automobile drivers who at first admit fault for causing a bicycle accident often change their minds after speaking with their insurance company. It is critical to investigate a bike accident immediately while witness memories and physical evidence like skid marks and paint transfers, are fresh. Lawyers with experience in bicycle accidents and their team of experts and investigators need to secure evidence immediately for your claim.
