Bicycle Accident Lawyer Brentwood, TN

Tennessee is a beautiful place for cyclists, and biking is a great way to cut down on gas costs and get some exercise. But roads in Tennessee can be tricky, especially in densely populated cities or in darker, rural areas with poor infrastructure. Like anywhere in the United States, riding a bicycle carries risk.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that more than 700 people die each year due to injuries sustained in bicycle accidents. More than half a million cyclists end up in the emergency room from such accidents.

Recovering from a bicycle accident can be a long, painful road, made even worse by exorbitant medical bills, ambulance fees, rehabilitation costs, and more. It can feel like you’re reliving your accident every day.

However, you may have legal and financial restitution. By enlisting the help of an experienced bicycle accident lawyer in Brentwood, TN, you can work towards receiving the compensation you deserve after suffering an accident.

Our attorneys at Patterson Bray PLLC have extensive experience with bike accidents and will work with you to build a case that gets the financial restitution you deserve. Now is the time to contact our Brentwood, TN bicycle accident lawyer.

The Risks Of Bicycle Accidents

Bicycles don’t have the protective housing of a car or seat belts. When you’re out on the road, it’s just you and your helmet protecting your body from the elements and other vehicles on the road. Being forced off the road by errant drivers or being outright struck by another vehicle can lead to broken bones, head injuries, and more medical issues.

Moreover, if you’re incapacitated by a bicycle accident, you may need emergency services to take you to the hospital and operate immediately. While these services may save your life, they’re also likely to cost far more than you can afford to pay, making it feel like you’ve been punished for being a victim.

Depending on the situation, you may have a legal path forward to recover medical bills, emotional trauma, lost wages from being unable to work, and more damages.

Understanding Bicycle Accident Law

You may have legal recourse against drivers, insurance companies, or manufacturers after a bicycle accident. As such, it’s imperative to consult our bicycle accident lawyers in Brentwood, TN to figure out the best legal path forward for your case. You may be able to receive compensation to repair or replace the bicycle, cover medical bills, and more.

The longer you wait, the more difficult it may be to build your case, so now is the time to call.

Bicycle Accident Injuries

Those who were hit by a car driver may sustain serious injuries that leave them with temporary or permanent physical hindrances or disability. Victims may not be able to go to work or perform daily activities like they used to. Being injured can take away someone’s ability to live their life normally. Anyone who has been hit by a car driver while riding a bike is encouraged to speak with our team today about a case. The driver should be held liable for how your physical health was affected. As our dedicated bike accident attorney explains, examples of common bicycle accident injuries that victims may suffer from include:

Concussion/head injuries
Spinal cord damage
Facial injuries
Broken nose
Broken or dislocated jaw
Eye injuries
Dental injuries
Broken bones
Mental anguish

Head injuries are prevalent in bike accidents, even if the bicyclist was wearing a helmet. Mild head injuries can result in bumps, bruises, minor cuts, or mild concussion. Moderate to severe head injuries can be open wounds, fractured skull, internal bleeding, brain damage, intracranial hematoma, and more. Spinal cord injuries can be devastating, where victims may have mental, emotional, and social effects. Symptoms of spinal cord injury can entail loss of movement and sensation, loss of bladder or bowel control, pain from nerve damage, altered sexual function, and breathing problems. If you suffered a serious injury because of a reckless car driver, we urge you to speak with our team today.
