Take these important steps after an injury or fatal bicycle accident in Michigan
When you have been seriously injured in a bicycle accident, it’s hard to know what needs to be done immediately. Bicycle accidents often cause more severe injuries, and even fatalities, because bike riders are less protected from the impact of a crash. After an accident, a bike rider faces 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 face moving forward without their loved one.
When a bike rider is injured or killed in a crash with a negligent driver, it is critical to get assistance from an experienced bike accident lawyer. Automobile drivers who at first admit fault for a bicycle accident often change their mind after speaking with their insurance company. It is best to investigate a bike accident right away while witnesses’ memories and physical evidence, such as skid marks and paint transfers, are fresh. Traffic cameras have been used to prove that the automobile driver was at a fault. However, the video is usually erased a couple of weeks and sometimes just days after an accident. Lawyers with experience in bicycle accidents and their team of experts and investigators can start securing evidence right away for your case.
