Bicycle Accident Statistics
An alarming number of bicyclists suffer injuries in the United States annually due to accidents with motor vehicles. In 2008, more than 200 bicyclists died in motor vehicle accidents in the U.S. Eleven percent of these fatalities were under the age of 14. Furthermore, an estimated 52,000 bicyclists experienced injuries in traffic accidents, and more than 21 percent (an estimated 11,000) were children younger than 14. Bicyclists in the U.S. are highly vulnerable to other drivers based on statistics by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
When you are choosing between Arizona bike accident attorneys, you are essentially looking for a lawyer who can represent you in a personal injury suit. Personal injury settlements can include compensation for loss of income, mental suffering/pain and medical expenses. When you are reviewing injury lawyers, ask yourself these important questions:
- What is the attorney's experience?
- Does the attorney specialize in personal injury cases?
- Is the attorney a certified specialist in injury and wrongful death laws?
- Does the attorney have malpractice insurance?
These are all important questions when choosing representation if you want to achieve the outcome you deserve. Many Phoenix bike accident lawyers claim to be experienced, but the attorneys at Breyer Law Offices, P.C. are experienced specifically in personal injury law. We have handled thousands of personal injury cases, and we have a certified specialist in injury and wrongful death law on staff (Mark Breyer). Only two percent of Arizona attorneys have this certification.
The bike accident lawyers you are reviewing should also have malpractice insurance that protects your claim in case your lawyer makes an error. The law does not require Arizona attorneys to have malpractice insurance, but we have carried it since the first day our office opened because we care about every single client we represent.
