Understanding Your Rights After a Bicycle Accident in North Carolina

In North Carolina, bicyclists have the same rights and responsibilities as motorists. This means you have the right to use most public roadways, but it also means the laws protecting you are complex. Understanding these rights is crucial after an accident—and having our experienced legal team explain how they apply to your specific situation can make the difference between a fair settlement and being taken advantage of.

If you've been in a bicycle accident, call us at (919) 893-0090. Evidence disappears quickly, and early action by our team can significantly impact your case outcome.

FAQ - Navigating Bicycle Accidents in Kinston

How quickly does your team need to get involved?

Immediately. Our investigators can preserve crucial evidence that disappears within days. Skid marks fade, witnesses forget details, and surveillance footage gets overwritten. The sooner our team acts, the stronger your case becomes.

What factors determine the outcome of my bicycle accident case?

The outcome depends on the severity of your injuries, the evidence available, and how clearly fault can be proven. Medical records, police reports, and witness statements are key. An experienced Kinston bicycle accident lawyer can build your case and fight for the maximum compensation.

What if I was partially at fault for the accident?

North Carolina follows contributory negligence laws, which can be harsh on injured cyclists. However, our experienced team knows how to challenge fault determinations and has successfully overturned initial police findings that unfairly blamed cyclists.

Will I have to go to court?

Most of our bicycle accident cases settle without trial because insurance companies know our team is prepared to fight. When we do go to court, you have our entire legal team's courtroom experience working for you—not just one attorney.

How do you handle insurance companies?

We handle everything. From day one, all insurance communications go through our team. We know their tactics, their typical lowball offers, and exactly how to counter their strategies to maximize your compensation.
