This means YOU DO NOT OWE US A LEGAL FEE UNLESS WE RECOVER MONEY FOR YOU. If there is no recovery, there is no fee.Q: Lawsuits can be expensive, will it cost me any money up front for filing fees, court costs, expert witness fees, and any other costs?A: Filing a lawsuit, paying court costs and expert witness fees can be very expensive. Every year we spend thousand of dollars in litigation costs. We know that most people cannot afford these costs up front, so we forward these costs in every case we take. Spending a few thousand dollars on a good expert witness can make the difference between getting thousands of dollars and getting nothing for your personal injury claim. Before you hire a lawyer, make sure that they are willing to forward the money to adequately pursue your personal injury case. Otherwise, you may be forced to take a minimal settlement if you cannot afford to spend thousands of dollars to pursue your personal injury claim.
Q: Can I recover even if the motorist never hit me?
A: Yes. Many people are under the misconception that there has to be physical contact between a cyclist and a motor vehicle for the motorist to be liable. This is not true. There are many situations where cyclists are injured when they take evasive action to avoid being hit, and crash as a result. The motorist can still be held liable if their negligence required the cyclist to take the evasive action.
Q: Can I recover if the other driver had no insurance?
A: Yes. If you have uninsured motorist coverage, you can recover money for your medical bills and pain and suffering, even if the other driver had no insurance.
Q: Does my auto insurance cover accidents when I am on my bike?
A: Many auto policies will cover you if you are injured in a bicycle accident or while on foot.Q: How do I know if I have a good bicycle accident claim?
A: You need to contact us and we can discuss your case. Our consultation on a personal injury case is always free.
Q: Will pursuing my case take up a lot of my time?
A: No. We often only meet with clients for the initial interview and then we can just talk over the phone. If we do go to court, it will take more time. I realize your time is important, so I don’t waste it.

Thank you for a very clear and helpful post. I am definitely a violator of many of these rules. I often find myself conflicted when writing a blog post because I see myself writing more than people want to read, but I feel that I have to do the subject matter justice by thoroughly covering it. I feel that by following some of these rules I end up cutting out important aspects to the discussion. I guess you have to find a balance.
