Handling All Types of Bicycle Accident Cases

Common causes of bicycle accidents include drivers turning right into a cyclist (right hook), drivers turning left into a cyclist (left hook), intersection collisions, drivers crossing into dedicated bicycle lanes, and car door collisions. Bicycle accidents can even occur without contact when driver negligence forces cyclists to take evasive action. At Mayor Law, a Portland bicycle accident attorney will help you pursue your personal injury claim against the at-fault driver and their insurance company. Let’s review some sample scenarios.

Issues Facing Cyclists

The percentage of bicycle fatalities in Oregon is the third-highest in the nation, at 4.5% of all traffic fatalities. While Portland has implemented significant improvements to help integrate cyclists into city traffic patterns, the fatality and injury rate remains the third highest in the nation at 3.87 fatalities per million population.

Cyclists face a unique set of challenges as they become an increasing part of urban commuting. To cope with these challenges the city of Portland has implemented bike lanes, bike boxes, cycle tracks, sharrows, and bicycle boulevards all in an effort to safely integrate cyclists and motorists into the same commuting space. While these efforts have produced positive results, vulnerable cyclists are still subject to debilitating injuries caused by drivers unaware of their presence, or right-of-way laws. If you have been seriously injured in a bicycle accident, you need the assistance of an experienced Portland bicycle accident attorney.

Portland Bicycle Accident Injury Case Examples:

Case Example 1: A settlement of $100,000 was obtained – which was the at-fault driver’s insurance policy limit. In this case, the driver of a vehicle made a right turn without looking and hit a bicyclist in NW Portland, Multnomah County causing personal injuries to her knee, shoulder, and back. The client underwent knee surgery. The collision also aggravated a pre-existing shoulder rotator cuff injury causing the need for shoulder surgery. This case is a classic example of the “right hook” that drivers make that so often injures cyclists.

Case Example 2: In March of 2013, Travis Mayor settled his client’s minor bicycle accident claim for $9,250 after making an initial demand under ORS 20.080. The client suffered some bruises and minor muscle strains after being knocked off her bike by a car. The client made a quick and full recovery. The settlement covered the client’s medical bills, two days of lost wages, and non-economic damages for her pain and inconvenience.

Case Example 3: This disputed liability car collision case occurred when a pickup truck driver hit a client who was riding his bicycle in Clackamas, Oregon. The client sustained personal injuries including a broken leg, a broken nose, and a closed head injury. The defendant claimed the client was at fault for riding his bicycle in the roadway to the left of the fog line. The case was settled out of court for $159,000 for the full policy limit of the driver’s liability insurance, as well as additional money from the client’s motor vehicle insurance policy.

Seeking Insurance Coverage for Medical Bills after a Bicycle Accident

If you have been injured in a bicycle accident where the car driver is at fault, then the first $15,000 (currently the Oregon-mandated minimum) of your medical bills will be covered by the personal injury protection (PIP) coverage in your own auto insurance policy if you have one. It does not matter that you were not driving your car at the time of the accident. If your medical expenses exceed that limit, or you do not have car insurance, then your private health insurance will pay the cost of your medical treatment. If you are completely uninsured then you will be covered by the at-fault driver’s PIP coverage up to its limit. The car driver’s liability insurance will cover additional costs up to its policy limits.

If your medical expenses and other losses exceed the liability limit of the driver’s insurance then you may be able to collect additional insurance through your motor vehicle Underinsured Motorist coverage. Seeking coverage for your medical expenses can be a daunting proposition especially when dealing with insurance adjusters, who are aggressively representing their companies and attempting to obtain the lowest possible settlements. If you have been involved in a bicycle accident where your medical expenses exceed the limits covered by PIP insurance, then you need to review your case with an experienced Portland bicycle accident lawyer. Experienced law firms, like Mayor Law, LLC can help you maximize your financial settlement while protecting your rights under the state’s law.
