If you’ve been injured or if someone you love was killed in a bicycle accident, you need the representation of an aggressive personal injury attorney.
At Adams, Jordan & Herrington, P.C., we’ve represented clients who have been involved in bicycle accidents that were the result of the following:
- Texting or talking on the phone while driving a motor vehicle

- Traffic and/or safety violations
If you believe your accident was due to a reckless and negligent driver, you may be entitled to compensation. Our attorneys have years of experience and are prepared to build a strong case on your behalf.
What to Do After a Bicycle Crash
If you are involved in a bicycle accident, whether with another cyclist or a person in a motor vehicle, there are a few steps to consider:
- First Step: The first thing to do is ensure that you receive proper medical attention. If necessary, call 911. You should also contact local police and fill out a police report detailing what happened and what injuries you sustained.
- Second Step: If possible, take pictures of the scene of the accident, as well as of your injuries and your bike if it was damaged. It is also a good idea to talk to any witnesses who saw what happened and obtain their names and contact information. You should also get the contact information of the other person involved in the accident, whether it was the driver of a car, truck, or motorcycle or another cyclist or pedestrian.
- Third Step: If you believe that a defective piece of equipment may have caused or contributed to the accident, do not repair or throw out the item, be it a helmet or your actual bike. Additionally, in the days and weeks following the accident, be sure to follow all of your doctor’s orders, including attending follow-up appointments, doing physical rehabilitation therapy exercises, and taking prescribed medications.
- Fourth Step:Lastly,contact a personal injury attorney who has experience handling bicycle accident claims and who can help you understand your legal rights and options. An attorney at our firm can meet with you in person for a one-on-one consultation at no cost. During this initial meeting, your attorney will go over the details of your case, learn more about how your injuries have impacted your life, and ask questions about your medical treatment, finances, and other important details.
We take the time to really learn about our clients and their unique concerns in order to better provide the personalized legal services they deserve.
