Frequently Asked Questions

After a bicycle accident, it is important to seek medical attention right away, even if injuries seem minor, as some symptoms may arise later.

You should also report the accident to local authorities and gather information from witnesses and involved parties. Contacting an attorney early can help protect your legal rights during this process.

In Missouri, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims including bicycle accidents is generally five years from the date of the accident.

However, it is advisable to consult with an attorney as soon as possible to ensure evidence is preserved and paperwork is filed timely.

Many bicycle accident cases settle out of court through negotiations with insurance companies.

However, if a fair settlement is not reached, your case may proceed to court for resolution. Our firm will guide you through every step and advocate zealously on your behalf.

Missouri follows a comparative fault rule, meaning you can recover damages reduced by your percentage of fault.

Consulting with an attorney can help clarify how this may apply to your unique case and ensure your rights are fully protected.

Compensation can include medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, and damages for long-term disability or emotional distress.

Each case is different, and our firm works to tailor claims to reflect your actual losses and needs.

Our firm operates on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing unless we successfully recover compensation for you.

This approach ensures that our interests are aligned with yours from start to finish.
