Choosing a Bicycle Accident Attorney

Answer:

We received a call recently from somebody who had been injured in a bicycle accident in Kansas. They had a really good question, which was how you can go about finding the best attorney to handle a bicycle accident case. There are a couple of things to keep in mind when hiring an attorney for a bicycle accident case. One, you want to make sure that you find an attorney whose core focus is on personal injury law, and in particular, bicycle accident cases. You may have a prior relationship with an attorney that’s handled something for you in the past, maybe a traffic ticket or a will or something like that, and you may think it’s okay to reach out to that attorney and let them help you with your bicycle accident case.

You really want to make sure you find somebody, however, whose core focus is bicycle accident cases. They will know the ins and outs of the law and the best position to prepare your case and present your case in a way that will result in the best recovery to you. You also want to find an attorney that has experience in handling bicycle accident cases as well as success with resolving bicycle accident cases. You want somebody who has this experience, and frankly, the insurance carriers know who those attorneys are. When they’re dealing with an attorney that they know is skilled in this area, they are more inclined to respond to any demand or to respond generally to the process in a fair and reasonable way.

Lastly, you want to make sure that you get a trial attorney. Trial attorneys are attorneys that are capable of preparing your case and trying your case to a jury. Not all attorneys are able to practice in court, take your case to court, and try your case to a jury. That is a special skillset that not everybody has. You want to make sure that you find somebody who is capable of taking your case and presenting it to a jury in a jury trial. They will work up your case from the beginning with the end game in mind knowing that if they need to take a case to trial, they will do so and they will be prepared to do that.
