How soon should I call a lawyer following a bicycle accident?

You should contact a lawyer as quickly as possible following a bicycle accident. Early legal intervention is crucial for preserving your rights and increasing your prospects of winning reasonable compensation. At Sullivan Brill Personal Injury Attorneys, we encourage that you contact us right away after getting medical attention and informing police enforcement. Quick action enables our team to begin investigating the accident while the evidence is still fresh—obtaining witness interviews, analyzing police reports, gathering camera footage, and preserving any physical evidence from the scene.

Insurance companies often act quickly to limit their liability, and they may urge you to accept a cheap settlement. By calling Sullivan Brill early on, you can avoid frequent mistakes like giving recorded comments or signing documents that could jeopardize your case. Our expert attorneys will handle all discussions with insurance, walk you through the legal process, and make certain that all paperwork is completed accurately and on time.

What happens if the other driver denies fault? 
 
If the other motorist rejects fault after an accident, it may complicate your case, but it does not preclude you from seeking compensation. At Sullivan Brill Personal Injury Attorneys, we have the skills and resources to properly research your claim and obtain the facts to back up your version of events. This could include police records, eyewitness accounts, traffic camera evidence, and professional accident reconstruction. Insurance companies frequently depend on these data to assess fault, and a compelling case can overcome the other driver's denial. 
 
Denying fault is a frequent approach for avoiding responsibility, but our staff is adept at finding inconsistencies and providing a compelling, evidence-based argument. We will work to determine how the accident occurred and who was genuinely to blame. Even if you are somewhat to blame, you may still be entitled to compensation under New York's comparative negligence statutes. Don't let a denial prevent you from using your rights.
