Talk to Passersby After an Accident

Gathering evidence for a bicycle accident can be a bit more difficult than you might expect. Most people do not pay the same attention to bicyclists as they do to motorists. In fact, this lack of attention could be the very cause of your bicycle accident that left you with serious injuries. Your accident might not have been seen by other people on the road, but that does not mean you are out of options.

With some luck and awareness of your situation, you hopefully had the chance to talk to pedestrians and other passersby after your bicycle accident. Oftentimes, reliable testimonies can be found from these parties, who are commonly overlooked.

If you were able to get a statement and information from someone who saw your bicycle accident, then you should pass that information to our attorneys. We can reach out to those parties for further discussions, forming their statements into evidence for your case. Meanwhile, you focus on resting and recuperating as best you can.

Seek Medical Attention No Matter What

Be sure to seek medical attention as soon as you can after being in a bicycle accident. At low speeds, a bicyclist may be thrown off their bicycle in a crash, suffering severe yet subtle injuries, like a back injury. At first, the injury might only feel like a sore spot, convincing you it is not serious. As time goes on, though, the true severity of the injury can reveal itself. Heading to the doctor at that point is still important, but the damage might have already been done to your claim.

The key benefits of seeing a medical provider immediately after a bicycle accident are:

  • Preserves your health: You need to do whatever you can to take care of yourself after a bicycle accident. A medical provider’s checkup can spot serious injuries you might have otherwise ignored for a general body ache or bruising.
  • Validates your claim: When proving that your bicycle accident happened and that it was not your fault, an official paper trail is crucial. Seeing a doctor the same day of your accident makes it clear that you were hurt and that you took the situation seriously enough to try to minimize the extent of your injuries.

Help with Claims & Cases

The Gatti Law Firm was designed to make difficult personal injury claims simpler for our clients. Bicycle accident claims can be more complicated than you might first expect, so we give them even more attention and care. To this end, we can handle your claim and pursue a fair settlement amount through negotiations. We know how insurance companies work, what makes them tick, and what they want to hear during mediation or arbitration.

Alternatively, we have the experience and know-how to take your case to litigation if necessary. Many law firms will stop working on a claim as soon as it becomes clear that a trial will be needed to reach a positive outcome for their clients. Where others back down, we step up to the challenge. Our trial attorneys have represented people throughout Oregon, helping seek justice and compensation before a judge and jury.
