Bicycle Accidents

Cyclists hit by cars CAN recover damages for their Injuries

Were you biking or running along the streets of Memphis, Germantown or Collierville when a careless driver hit you?

Were you forced to visit the doctor, miss time off work and cut back on your training?

Was your bike completely trashed, costing you thousands of dollars to replace it?

Careless drivers in Memphis often hit cyclists and runners because they were busy talking or texting on the phone, or even worse, they may have simply not wanted to give you the proper right-of-way or passing space.

If you’re lucky you came away with just a close call. And in a worst case scenario someone you know and love may have lost their life due to the carelessness of a driver.

If you’re the unlucky person whose been hit by a car, or had a relative injured by someone, you may think that there is nothing you can do, and that you’ll be stuck paying for the medical bills and property damage out of your own pocket.

But did you know that you might be able to recover for all your medicals bills, lost wages and damage to your bike?

Even if the driver who hit you doesn’t stop or doesn’t have insurance you still may be able to receive help paying your bills and restoring the property that was damaged. How can you get this? By looking to see if your own car insurance coverage can help.
