How We Help Injured Cyclists

Insurance companies often try to shift blame to the cyclist or minimize injuries. As a Prince George’s County bicycle accident lawyer, our job is to prove what happened, who is responsible, and how the injuries changed work, daily life, and long-term health.

We build claims using police reports, medical records, photos/video, and witness statements when available. Liability may involve failure to yield, unsafe turns, distracted driving, speeding, bike-lane violations, or drunk driving, as well as dangerous road/property conditions that contributed to the crash.

After A Bicycle Crash: What To Do

• Get medical care first. Call 911 when needed and get evaluated even if symptoms feel minor, especially after a head impact, neck pain, or dizziness. Serious crashes can cause catastrophic injuries, including brain injuries, that are not always obvious at the scene.
• Preserve evidence. Get the driver’s information, take photos of the scene and injuries, request a police report, and keep the bike/helmet/clothing in their post-crash condition when possible. Be cautious with insurance calls, avoid recorded statements or quick settlements before getting legal advice.

Why Local Representation Matters in Prince George’s County

Bicycle crash claims here are handled under Maryland law and may be filed in the District Court or Circuit Court, depending on the case. A local firm that routinely handles Prince George’s County injury claims can file correctly, manage deadlines, and navigate court procedures efficiently.

Local experience also matters because many crashes occur on busy commuter corridors and high-conflict intersections, including areas near Route 1, MD-450/Annapolis Road, and I-495 connections. Familiarity with local insurers and defense firms helps present the facts and damages clearly from the start, whether the collision involved cyclists, pedestrian accidents, or roadway hazards.

Compensation in a Prince George’s County Bicycle Injury Claim

A bicycle injury claim may pursue compensation for:

• Medical expenses (ER care, imaging, surgery, rehab, medications, follow-ups, future treatment)
• Lost income (missed work, reduced earning capacity, job limitations)
• Pain and suffering (physical pain, emotional distress, loss of normal activities)

We document injuries, treatment, and work impact, then present a demand to the responsible insurance carrier(s). If a fair settlement is not offered, litigation can be pursued in the appropriate Prince George’s County court, including cases involving wrongful death.
