Minnesota Bicycle Accident Attorneys
With today’s increasing gas prices, more Minnesota residents than ever are turning to bicycles for cost effective, environmentally friendly transportation. Unfortunately, with many inattentive drivers on the road, bicycle accidents are increasingly common.
Accidents involving motorists and bicyclists are often tragic, causing extensive injuries or death, due to the vulnerable and unprotected nature of bicyclists. At fault drivers and their insurers usually blame the person on the bike, regardless of how the accident actually happened. What they won’t tell you is that bicyclists may seek coverage under the automobile’s no fault insurance, regardless of who is at fault in causing the accident.
A bicyclist injured in a collision with a motor vehicle is entitled to receive up to $20,000.00 in medical and $20,000.00 in wage loss benefits from that vehicle pursuant to the Minnesota No Fault Act. In addition to the no fault claim, an injured bicyclist has the right to bring a claim against the driver of the at fault vehicle for his or her property damage, pain, suffering, and loss of enjoyment of lifestyle due to the accident. A speedy investigation is usually necessary to effectively preserve the injured bike rider’s claims.
