Toronto Bicycle Accident Lawyer

A bicycle accident can result in catastrophic and even fatal injuries, especially if the collision involves a motor vehicle. Since bicyclists do not have the same protection as motorists, bicycle accidents are quite devastating in nature.

Unfortunately, there are many cases where the at-fault party denies responsibility to avoid paying the injured bicyclist the financial compensation they need for:

• Medical expenses
• Lost wages
• And even pain and suffering

At JEWELL RADIMISIS JORGE LLP, we have helped many clients obtain the most favorable results.

With more than seven decades of collective legal experience, our Toronto bicycle accident lawyers can:

• Investigate the collision
• Collect evidence
• Negotiate with insurance adjusters
• And maximize the compensation you deserve

What to do if you were involved in a bicycle accident:

• Make sure you are safe: if possible, move away from the road or bike path to a safe area
• Involve the police: be sure to give the officer your account of the accident and ask for the officer’s name and badge number to use in the event you want to order a copy of the police report
• Collect evidence: if possible, take photos of the scene and document the involved party’s names and contact details

Ontario Bicycle Accident Laws

When a cyclist is injured being struck by a motor vehicle, the injured individual can file an accident claim with their own auto insurance company—even if they aren’t driving a vehicle—since policies often have no-fault accident benefits to help pay for any crash-related expenses. In addition, injured parties can also file a personal injury lawsuit against the negligent driver.

If an injured party does not have auto insurance or not listed on another person’s insurance policy, they can claim accident benefits from the at-fault driver’s policy. However, if the at-fault driver doesn’t have valid insurance, you can file a claim through the Motor Vehicle Accident Claims (MVAC) Fund.

Our legal team can guide you through the complexities of the legal process and ensure all the paperwork is completed and all the deadlines are met, while you heal from injury. We understand that insurance companies will do their best to deny your entire claim or reduce your entitled compensation.
