Were You Injured in a Bicycle Accident?
No one expects to be seriously injured in a bicycle accident, hit by a car in a pedestrian accident, or hurt in a motorcycle accident. But when you are, it can be devastating. Statistics show a bike accident or a motorcycle accident is almost never the fault of the biker. Driver negligence accounts for most of the catastrophic injuries suffered in bike and crosswalk accidents.
Because bikers and pedestrians are so unprotected and vulnerable, being hit by a car or truck can cause severe injuries such as brain injuries, broken bones and spinal cord injuries. You may also be out of work, overwhelmed with piles of medical bills, or disabled and in pain. Bike or pedestrian accidents can lead to disability or even death.
It’s worse when the insurance company gives you the runaround or won’t pay you what you deserve – or as can happen in these cases, says it was your fault and refuses to admit you deserve anything. It takes a smart, aggressive attorney like Dianne Sawaya to force the insurance company to pay you the money it owes you.
In our combined 65 years of practice, insurance companies have learned that if they don’t offer you a fair settlement, our bicycle accident lawyers won’t hesitate to litigate your case before a judge and jury.

A new law takes effect in Colorado on August 11, 2010 – a law that has a big impact on personal injury cases and settlement amounts. The law affects three areas:
Collateral source rule. This says that the fact or amount of any collateral source payment (such as from a plaintiff’s medical insurance) shall not be admitted as evidence in an action against a third-party tortfeasor. Discussion of the amount of medical bills must be based on the amount billed, not the amount paid.

There’s no special definition of “serious personal injury,” and everyone likely considers their injury to be serious. But when evaluating a case in terms of negotiating with an insurance company or preparing for trial, there are certain hallmarks of a serious injury.
