How can our personal injury lawyer help you?
Having legal guidance from the very beginning will help ensure the success of your personal injury claim. An experienced bicycle accident lawyer can help you with the following:
Investigating and fixing the liability for the accident:
In an accident involving multiple parties, it might be difficult to ascertain who the at-fault party is. An experienced lawyer will thoroughly investigate the case, gather the necessary evidence, and correctly fix the liability to the negligent parties.
Providing you legal guidance on provincial laws and insurance matters.
Negotiating and settling the claim without litigation if possible.
Trying to get the maximum compensation for you.
While the insurance provider might try to reduce the compensation amount as much as possible, your lawyer representing your interests will fight for the maximum compensation available to you under the law.
Representing you in court.
You have the option to approach the courts if your claim is unfairly rejected by the insurance provider. You may also file a civil suit for damages against the negligent driver. In both these cases, you will need legal representation from an experienced personal injury lawyer.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can there be multiple at-fault parties in a personal injury claim?
Yes. Depending on the circumstances of the case, the at-fault parties can be:
- Automobile driver:
If rash driving or overspeeding of the vehicle caused the accident. In many cases, such accidents happen when the driver refuses to yield the right of way to the cyclist.
- Municipalities:
If the wrong signage or poor condition of the roads caused the accident, you may hold the municipality liable for the accident.
- Manufacturer:
If a fault in the bicycle was the cause of the accident, you may file a claim against the manufacturer for damages.
What are the types of compensation I am eligible to receive in a bicycle accident claim?
While this will depend on the particular circumstances of your case, the victim of such an accident is entitled to apply for the following types of compensation:
- Reimbursement of medical expenses.
- Lost income.
- Damages to property.
- Future treatment expenses.
- Pain and suffering.
What is the statute of limitations in a bicycle accident claim?
As with most other accident cases, you will need to file your claim within two years of the date of the accident. However, it is best to consult a personal injury lawyer on this, as this might vary across provinces and territories.
I was partially responsible for causing the accident. Do I still have a valid claim?
Yes. Canadian law operates under the principle of contributory negligence. This means that depending on the extent of your negligence, the court will reduce your compensation proportionately. For example, the court might find that you were at least 30 percent responsible for the accident, which led to your injuries. The defendant, therefore, will be asked to pay only 70 percent of the damages.
How does the contingency fee system work when hiring a personal injury lawyer?
It means that there is no need for you to pay any upfront fees to your lawyer. Your lawyer’s fees and expenses will apply only as a percentage of the final compensation award. The details of this contingency fee arrangement and related expenses, such as applicable taxes and disbursements, will be transparently stated in the retainer agreement when you engage the services of the personal injury lawyer.
