North Carolina Bicycle Accident Lawyer

No Cyclist Should Endure A Lifetime Of Physical, Emotional and Financial Hardships Due To Negligence. We're Here to Help.

Although North Carolina law states that drivers must share the road with cyclists, not all motorists abide. All too often, this results in the worst-case scenario: bicycle accidents that cause serious injury or even death. A bike accident can shift the entire course of a person’s life and cause them to feel like they lost a sense of their independence. After a bicycle accident, filing a personal injury claim can offer financial relief for medical bills, missed wages, and other expenditures.

At Henson Fuerst, we know the uphill battle you now face. The last thing you need is stress from filing paperwork, gathering evidence, and contacting the insurance companies. If you were injured in a bicycle accident, you do not have to manage your case on your own. We are committed to you and are here to support you through this difficult time. Contact us today for a free consultation by calling 919-781-1107 or submitting a case evaluation form online.

No Matter How Severe Your Injuries Are, The Insurance Company Won’t Always Pay What You Deserve.

Many bicyclists who are hurt are not treated fairly by insurance companies. The insurance company is only interested in making a profit and therefore may dispute your claim and even blame you for the accident. We understand how difficult insurance companies can make the process of recovering compensation for victims. We know their tactics and won’t let them take advantage of you.

We can’t stress this enough: Before you say anything to an insurance company or sign anything from them, get legal guidance. Even when it’s evident that someone else is to blame, there are no guarantees for legal claims for bicycle accidents.

We Fight To Get You Back On The Road To Recovery and Financial Security

Common Types of Bicycle Accident Injuries

We handle bicycle accident claims related to a variety of injuries, such as:

  • Broken Bones – Arm, leg, and joint fractures are common when cyclists make contact with motor vehicles, barriers, and road surfaces.
  • Soft Tissue Injuries – Muscle damage, lacerations, and even permanent scarring often result when bicyclists are thrown from their bikes.
  • Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBIs) – Brain injuries resulting from a bike accident can affect cyclists’ thinking, sensations, language, and moods.

Unfortunately, injuries resulting from a bike accident are often severe and require a lifetime of care. We’re here to provide you with the answers you need to get the best results from your claim.

The Road to Recovery Can Be Long and Costly

Accepting an initial settlement offer from an insurance company without first talking with an attorney is a poor decision. If your medical condition worsens, your acceptance could preclude you from pursuing legal action in the future. The difficult road to recovery may include care such as:

  • Numerous surgeries
  • Rehabilitation
  • Multiple types of therapies
  • 24-hour care in a skilled nursing facility
