FAQs

Do I Need To Contact the Police if I Am Involved in a Bicycle Accident?
You should report a bicycle accident to the local police department as soon as possible. This will ensure that an official record of the accident exists and can be used later on during litigation, if necessary.
What Information Should I Collect at the Scene of a Bicycle Accident?
It is important to gather as much information as possible at the scene of an accident, including photographs of damage to property or injuries sustained, contact details and car registration numbers from any cars or other vehicles involved in the incident, and eyewitness accounts from bystanders.
Who Do I Talk to About Filing a Bicycle Accident Lawsuit?
You should consult an experienced attorney specializing in bicycle law for advice on filing a lawsuit related to a bicycle accident. The attorneys at Multani Law Group have extensive experience dealing with these types of cases and can provide you with support throughout the legal process.
Will My Insurance Cover Damages Associated With a Bicycle Accident?
It depends on your insurance policy and whether it covers bicycle accidents. We can review your policy and determine what coverage could be available for your particular case.
What Kind of Compensation Am I Eligible For?
The amount of compensation available to you after a bicycle accident depends on the specifics of your case. Generally, damages can be awarded for medical expenses, lost wages, rehabilitation costs, and pain and suffering.
How Long After an Incident Can You Claim Compensation?
It is important to act quickly after a bicycle accident to file a claim. The statute of limitations in Washington is three years, this means you have three years from the date of the incident to file a claim. If your claim is not filed before this time, it may be deemed invalid, and you may not receive any compensation for your damages.
How Long Does It Usually Take for a Lawsuit Related to a Bicycle Accident Case To Be Resolved?
The timeline for a bicycle accident lawsuit can vary greatly depending on the complexity of the case and whether or not it goes to trial. On average, most cases can be resolved within 2-3 years. However, an experienced lawyer can provide you with a better estimate of how long your particular case is likely to take.
