What Is My Bicycle Accident Case Worth?

The value of a bicycle accident claim depends on the facts of your case. Key factors include:

  • The cost of your medical treatment and future care needs
  • Whether you suffered permanent disability or disfigurement
  • The wages and income you’ve lost during recovery
  • How the accident impacts your ability to work or enjoy life
  • The pain, trauma, and emotional suffering you’ve endured

Insurance companies often push victims to settle quickly for less than they deserve. At Cogburn Davidson, we carefully evaluate your damages so that you don’t leave money on the table.

  • Lost income and diminished earning capacity

Can I Recover Compensation if I’m Blamed for the Accident?

Yes. Under Nevada’s modified comparative negligence rule, you can still recover damages as long as you are less than 51% at fault. Your compensation will simply be reduced by your percentage of fault.

For example, if your damages are worth $100,000 and you are found 20% responsible, you can still recover $80,000. Our attorneys will work to minimize any claims of fault against you.

What Are Common Injuries in Bicycle Accidents?

Bicyclists are highly vulnerable in a crash with a motor vehicle. Our Las Vegas bicycle accident lawyers have helped clients recover compensation for injuries such as:

  • Broken bones
  • Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
  • Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) and concussions
  • Road rash and lacerations
  • Soft tissue injuries
  • Nerve damage
  • Internal bleeding and organ damage
  • Amputations
  • Wrongful death

No matter the severity of your injuries, we will fight to recover full compensation for your medical costs and long-term needs.

What Causes Most Bicycle Accidents in Las Vegas?

Many bicycle crashes are caused by negligent or reckless drivers. Common causes include:

  • Distracted driving (texting, eating, or adjusting GPS)
  • Failing to yield at intersections or crosswalks
  • Speeding or aggressive driving
  • Drunk or impaired driving
  • Dooring accidents (when a driver opens a car door into a cyclist)
  • Unsafe lane changes or passing too closely

Even if you took every precaution, careless drivers can put your safety at risk. When they do, they should be held accountable.

If you haven’t reached out yet to Cogburn Davison I highly recommend you do! I can’t even begin to explain what great customer service I received from when first walking in the door and having the receptionist be so nice and friendly up until my case settled! The attorney Hunter S. Davidson and his paralegal Jessica Mejia were not only friendly and compassionate but they made sure me and my family understood every step of this lawsuit! My father was neglected in a nursing home and I couldn’t find an attorney in Vegas who specialized in these type of cases. Once my friend recommended me to Cogburn Davidson and I saw their exceptional customer service I knew I was in the right place. They were able to get my father and our family the justice he deserved! Don’t hesitate and call Cogburn Davidson, you won’t regret it!

Bicycle Accidents FAQs

What should I do immediately after a bicycle accident?

Your safety comes first. Move out of traffic if you can and call 911 to report the accident. Seek medical attention right away, even if injuries seem minor. If possible, take photos, gather witness information, and exchange details with the driver. Avoid discussing fault at the scene. Early documentation can make a big difference, and our team at Cogburn Davidson can step in quickly to help preserve evidence and protect your claim.

What if the driver who hit me doesn’t have insurance?

You may still have options. Uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage through your own auto policy can often apply, even if you were on a bicycle. In some cases, other parties may also share responsibility, depending on how the accident happened.

Who can be held liable for a bicycle accident?

Liability depends on the circumstances, and multiple parties may be involved. These can include:

  • Drivers who fail to yield or drive negligently
  • Employers if the driver was working at the time
  • Government entities responsible for unsafe road conditions
  • Manufacturers of defective bikes or vehicle parts
  • Property owners in certain hazardous roadway situations

Can I still file a claim if I wasn’t wearing a helmet?

Yes. Not wearing a helmet does not automatically prevent you from recovering compensation under Nevada law. However, insurers may try to argue that your injuries were worse because of it. We know how to push back on these tactics and keep the focus on what caused the accident.

Will I have to go to court?

Most bicycle accident claims are resolved through settlement, but not all. We prepare every case as if it may go to trial, which often leads to stronger settlement offers. If the insurance company refuses to be reasonable, taking the case to court may be the best path forward.

How much do bicycle accident lawyers in Nevada cost?

Bicycle accident cases are typically handled on a contingency fee basis. That means there are no upfront costs, and fees are only collected if compensation is recovered. This allows you to focus on your recovery without added financial stress.

Should I accept an offer to settle the case?

It’s a good idea to have any offer reviewed before accepting. Initial settlement offers are often lower than what your claim is truly worth. Our team can evaluate the full extent of your damages and negotiate for a result that reflects the impact of the accident.

What if it was a hit-and-run accident?

You may still be able to recover compensation through your uninsured motorist coverage. Reporting the accident to law enforcement right away is critical. From there, we can help guide you through the claims process and explore every available option.

Will it make a difference if I was doored?

Yes. Dooring accidents often place liability on the person who opened the door, since drivers and passengers are expected to check for cyclists before doing so. These cases can be more straightforward from a liability standpoint, and our attorneys can help ensure the responsible party is held accountable.
