A bicycle accident case usually involves several parties: the victim/plaintiff, the person responsible for the accident, and sometimes the responsible party’s insurance company. When an accident occurs due to the responsible party’s negligence, you as the injured victim may be entitled to recover monetary compensation from them and/or their insurance company. If you aren’t able to recover enough compensation through an insurance claim, it may be necessary to file a civil lawsuit. A bicycle and motorcycle accident attorney in Jersey City can help you with both of these steps. It’s always wise to talk to an experienced attorney before speaking to any insurance representatives.
