In just about every case of car versus bicycle, the bicycle loses. Unfortunately, not all drivers in Oregon are aware of bicyclists, or particularly cautious when driving around them. If you've been injured in a bicycle accident, the best thing to do is to get a good Oregon Bicycle accident attorney on your side right away.
For the past several years, Todd Peterson has fought for the rights of the injured in Oregon accident cases involving bicyclists, cars, trucks, motorcycles, scooters, and, of course, pedestrians. Every accident victim needs good representation at this difficult time. When physical pain and emotional stress are involved, it's always better to have a good advocate backing you up than to try to go it alone.
Bicycle accidents often cause serious injury to the bicyclist so it's vital that you seek medical help immediately. However, the path that your recovery--both physically and financially--takes from there depends on having a trustworthy attorney such as Todd Peterson on your side. Many injuries can be undetectable early on, so it's important that you not let your insurance company lull you into a quick settlement.
While a fast settlement may appear to be good customer service, it's actually just the insurance company wishing to pay out a settlement before you realize the extent of your injuries. Your physical health and future financial situation often hang in the balance after a bicycle accident. Let Peterson Law Offices make sure you get the full settlement to which you're entitled. Call us at 503-280-0888 as soon as possible and we will personally guide you through what can otherwise be a frustrating process.
