Why You Need a Bicycle Accident Lawyer

Bicycle accidents often cause serious injuries, including head injuries and broken bones, as cyclists have little protection compared to those in motor vehicles. These injuries can be life-altering—and unfortunately, insurance companies often focus more on protecting their bottom line than helping you recover.

That’s why having an experienced bicycle accident lawyer is so important. At Bykhovsky Law, we guide you through every step—from gathering evidence and dealing with insurers to going to court if needed. With years of experience in bike injury cases, we know what it takes to win.
