Maybe. Maybe not. Each injury case presents its own unique set of facts. You should schedule a meeting with a personal injury lawyer for a full review of liability and damages in this matter.

Bicycle versus auto is never a good situation and I hope that your injuries are being treated properly. More facts are necessary for analysis: Police report or incident report? / Citations- who at fault? / Insurance involved? / Nature and extent of your injuries? ect... Consider consult with a injury attorney in your jurisdiction with the specifics of matter and for review to determine your rights, responsibilities and options moving forward. Click on "Find A Lawyer" tab above and you will be able to figure out best options.

The failure to follow traffic laws, including failure to signal, can be the basis for a personal injury lawsuit. You must prove fault, and if your actions contributed to the accident, your ability to recover could be reduced. Many cases such as yours are successful, so I strongly advise you to find a good personal injury lawyer right away. Your claim can only be asserted for a limited time, and your attorney will need to investigate the circumstances of the case before the recollection of the witnesses becomes stale and other evidence becomes difficult to find. Call a personal injury in Iowa today to review this matter with you. Personal injury lawyers will generally offer their services on a percentage basis, so you don't pay unless they recover money for you. Good luck.

You should obtain needed medical care and treatment immediately and follow the doctor's advice. Do not give any statements to the adverse party or insurance company nor grant them access to any medical records. Photograph the injuries and the damage done to any property. Contact a personal injury attorney in your area as soon as possible so that you can protect your rights. You may also find it helpful to review the Legal Guides I have published on .com dealing with many of the issues you are now facing. You can access my Legal Guides through my profile page on .
