One of the top concerns bicycle accident victims have following their injuries is how much it will cost to hire an attorney. Unfortunately, there is no fixed monetary amount that it will cost you to hire a bicycle accident lawyer to take on your case.
However, that does not mean you cannot retain an attorney to help you get justice. Some attorneys work on a contingency-fee basis, so they only take their payment from a potential settlement or verdict.
Covering the Cost Of a Bicycle Accident Lawyer
One of the top reasons bicycle accident victims hesitate to call a lawyer for help is because they know they cannot cover the cost. You may have the impression that you will need to put down thousands and thousands of dollars to retain a bicycle accident attorney.
However, any reputable bicycle accident attorney will be willing to work with victims on a contingency. Contingency agreements allow attorneys to advocate for your right to compensation without requiring you to cover any costs upfront. You will never be expected to pay out anything in attorneys fees, court fees, costs of hiring expert witnesses, and the other details that go into building your case.
Instead, when you enter into a contingency agreement, the expectation to pay your attorney for their fees is contingent upon their ability to recover compensation in your case. This means if your attorney does not win, you are not expected to pay anything.
The amount of compensation you will pay in attorneys fees using your injury settlement will vary depending on the specific details of your case and the terms of your contingency agreement. You can learn more about how much you might pay for a bicycle accident lawyer when you contact an attorney to discuss the specific details of your case.

What to Expect From Your Bicycle Accident Claim
The bicycle accident claims process is often complex. When you have made the decision to work with a bicycle accident attorney, you can focus on recovering from your injuries while your attorney handles the legalities of your case.
Your bicycle accident lawyer will begin by establishing fault. We will need to open up an in-depth investigation into the cause of your bicycle accident to prove liability. Once fault has been determined, we can decide whether pursuing insurance or civil claims is appropriate.
In some cases, filing both is necessary. If we are unable to secure an injury settlement that means your needs through the insurance company, bringing your case before a judge may be your next best option. You can learn more about the specific steps your bicycle accident claim could take when you discuss your case with your lawyer.
How to Win Your Bicycle Accident Lawsuit
If you are hoping to win your bicycle accident injury settlement, your attorney will need to prove liability based on a preponderance of the evidence. Our investigation into the cause of your bicycle accident will provide us with the evidence we mean to prove the defendant is more than likely responsible for causing your injuries. Some of the more common types of evidence that could be used to support your case include:
- Cell phone records
- Dash cam footage
- Video surveillance
- Photos of your injuries
- Photos of the accident scene
- Medical records
- Financial statements
- Safety logs
