A bicycle accident can be a harrowing experience. If you or a loved one have been involved in a bicycle accident, it is important to know what to do to protect your rights. Here are four steps to take after a bicycle accident:

Step 1: Seek medical attention immediately

Your health and wellbeing should be your top priority after a bike accident.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, more than 7,000 pedestrians were killed in accidents involving motor vehicles in 2020. If you find yourself in the unfortunate situation of being in a pedestrian accident, it is important to know what to do next. 

No one wants to be involved in a car accident, but if you are hit by a truck whose tire has blown out, there are certain steps you need to take to protect your rights and ensure you receive the compensation you deserve from the trucking company’s insurance or the responsible party.

When most people think of damages in a personal injury case, they think of medical bills and lost wages. But there is another type of damage that can be even more important: pain and suffering. If you’ve been in an accident and are suffering from emotional injuries, it’s important that you hire a Gulfport personal injury lawyer who knows how to correctly calculate these non-economic damages so you can get the compensation you deserve.

If you lost a loved one, you may be wondering if you have a case for wrongful death. Every situation is different, so it is important to speak with an attorney to find out if you have the right to file a claim.
