Evidence to Prove Fault in Bicycle Accidents

Proving fault is critical in any injury claim or lawsuit, and bicycle accident cases are no different. A North Carolina bicycle accident lawyer can help investigate the facts and circumstances of a bike accident in order to prove liability and strengthen your case.

Steps an attorney will often take to prove liability in a bicycle accident include:

• Hiring outside experts like accident reconstructionists
• Collecting and preserving important crash scene evidence
• Identifying and interviewing witnesses
• Obtaining surveillance footage and dash cam video
• Obtaining the official police report
• Reviewing medical records

At Riddle & Brantley, our bike accident attorneys are supported by an entire team of full-time investigators. These retired law enforcement officers are experienced in handling bicycle accidents and can help investigate and prove liability.

Contributory Negligence

In North Carolina, contributory negligence means that you can be barred from recovering compensation in an injury claim if you even partially contributed to an accident. This makes it even more important that those injured in a bicycle accident consult with an experienced attorney right away to protect their legal rights.

At Riddle & Brantley, we have experience successfully defeating the contributory negligence defense, which insurance companies and defense counsel will often try to use to avoid paying a claim.

For a FREE consultation with an experienced bicycle accident lawyer, please call 1-800-525-7111 or complete the fast and easy form below.

The consultation is free, and you won’t pay any attorney fees unless we win your case and recover compensation for you.

Call a Bicycle Accident Lawyer

Since 1985, our bike accident lawyers have been fighting for the rights of North Carolinians injured due to others’ negligence. We understand the law in North Carolina and are committed to getting justice and seeking maximum compensation for our clients.

In the last 20 years alone, we’ve recovered more than $600 million in compensation for our deserving clients (see disclaimer below). In one recent case, we secured compensation for our client who was hit by a car while riding at night. Despite the insurance company initially denying our claim, our attorneys were successful in negotiating a settlement representing the limits of the policy.

“Riddle & Brantley found me all the available money from the insurance companies.”
