Bicycle accidents can lead to devastating injuries or even the loss of life. Based on the circumstances of the accident, a bicyclist can suffer multiple fractures, traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, paralysis, concussion, or ligament or tendon damage. In these situations, it is wise to seek the counsel of an experienced Glendale bicycle accident attorney at The Law Offices of John Phebus.
The most dangerous type of bicycle accident is a bike-car collision. Protected only by a helmet, bicyclists will likely suffer serious injuries in even a low-speed collision.

According to Arizona law, you can recover economic and non-economic damages after a bicycle or pedestrian accident. The at fault party’s insurance company can cover for present and future medical bills, lost wages from time away from work, and non-economic damages like pain and suffering caused by the accident. An experienced Glendale pedestrian accident attorney can help you hold the responsible party or parties accountable for your injuries and reach a fair financial settlement for your accident case.
The two types of compensations, economic and non-economic damages can be further broken down into more categories that relate to the nature of your injuries and their impact on your ability to work and your overall quality of life following your bicycle accident.
Depending on how you are impacted, you may be able to receive compensations for any of the following factors:
These types of compensations involve non-monetary losses that occur after an accident with a bicyclist’s health or well-being being impacted greatly from their injuries sustained during the crash.
Pedestrian and bicycle accidents can cause serious injuries that could have lifelong effects on the victim’s life. Injuries can sometimes take months to heal or could even leave the accident victim permanently disabled. These are some common injuries that pedestrian and bicycle accident victims can suffer:
It’s important to seek medical care immediately after an accident, even if you don’t feel hurt, you may have a hidden injury that doesn’t present itself immediately but still requires medical treatment.
The simple answer to this question is yes! Much like any other vehicle collision, the process for filing a claim and getting just compensation after a bicycle accident can be a long and arduous process without experienced legal help on your side.
The other driver’s insurance will have lawyers on their side and they will work hard to discredit and diminish your case to avoid paying you what you deserve for your accident. Only by having the trusted legal experts from The Law Offices of John Phebus on your side can you get maximum compensation for your injuries.
Even more than a bicyclist, a pedestrian is completely unprotected. If he or she is struck by a moving vehicle, it is not uncommon for devastating, lifelong injuries to result.
