How Pursuing Compensation After a Bicycle Crash Helps You
Bike accidents can be extremely costly, both in terms of financial losses and bodily injuries. You might experience:
- Unexpected medical bills, as well as the prospect of additional medical expenses in the future
- A temporary or permanent loss of income
- The damage or destruction of your bike
- Painful or inconvenient physical symptoms
- Mental or emotional distress due to the traumatic nature of your injuries
- A loss of independence that requires you to seek assistance with daily living tasks
A personal injury claim could enable you to recover compensation for all of these damages and others. With the money you receive, you would no longer have to worry about how you would support your family or pay your bills: your settlement would cover all past, present, and future losses associated with the crash.

Why Hiring an Indiana Bike Accident Lawyer Is in Your Best Interests
Even in relatively straightforward cases, taking legal action is not always easy. You would have to collect a strong body of evidence that supports your claim. You might also have to deal with insurance companies that do not want to pay a fair settlement and are willing to try any number of tactics to reduce your payout.
An Indiana bicycle injury attorney understands the kinds of challenges that frequently arise in bicycle accident cases. They can navigate all obstacles by:
- Serving as a go-between so you do not have to communicate directly with the insurer, and the insurer does not get a chance to pressure you into acting against your interests
- Collecting enough evidence to build a strong case file, which would make it harder for the insurance company to deny or dispute your claim
- Negotiating hard for a settlement that will meet your needs
- Representing you in civil court if, for any reason, your case ends up going to trial
- Working closely with you so you always know what is happening with your case and what they are doing for you
Whenever you have questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out to your bike accident lawyer. They will always be there for you, ready to provide legal advice or help you make important, case-related decisions when you feel stuck, confused, or overwhelmed.

How Common Are Bike Accidents in Indiana?
According to Page 42 of a report released by the Indiana Criminal Justice Institute, accidents involving pedalcyclists (which includes bicyclists) dropped significantly in 2023, with a total of 118 collisions resulting in 80 injuries and 7 fatalities. While this drop is encouraging, there are still dozens of people across the state whose lives were disrupted or even ruined because of a bicycle crash.
Too many of these collisions were the result of negligence. For example:
- Drivers do not always give bicycles enough space to maneuver safely
- Drivers might get distracted or simply forget to keep an eye out for bicyclists
- Drivers sometimes fail to give bicyclists the right of way, racing through stop signs or yellow lights
The Goldwater Law Firm does not want to see injustices like these go unresolved. Let a bike accident attorney in Indiana figure out how your crash happened, identify the party or parties who caused it, and fight for the fair compensation you need to move forward.

Frequently Asked Questions
You only pay attorneys’ fees once you win your case. This fee is a portion of whatever settlement or award you receive, so you do not have to pay anything unless you recover damages.
In most cases, bicycle accident victims get money by filing a claim with the liable party’s insurance. Your attorney and the insurer’s representatives may work together to draft a settlement agreement that enables you to get the compensation you need.
Sometimes, such as if the insurance company refuses to cooperate, accident victims need to go to trial. If that happens, our co-counsel can present your case to a judge and jury, to persuade the jury members to award you the amount you have requested.
Your payout should cover all accident-related losses and expenses. Your attorney can figure out what this amount is by collecting relevant paperwork, such as medical bills or receipts, and speaking to subject matter experts, such as physicians who can verify the likely long-term effects of your injury.
Be aware that the insurance company might try to offer you far less than you qualify for. Just because they say that their offer is fair does not mean it is. Wait until our co-counsel has evaluated your case before accepting any offer.
