This was my first accident but I had prior surgery to my back. The insurance company said the accident just barely aggravated things even though I needed another surgery. They offered me less than $5000.00. I hired the lawyer and he met with my surgeon and got a report from him. The insurance company ended up paying $350,000.00 to settle the case. I highly recommend Hurt911 / Metro Law to anyone who has been in a car accident. I couldn’t have done this on my own. They have more than 30 years of experience and know what they are doing! Tammy C.

How Do Bicycle Injuries Happen?
In many cases, bicycle collisions involve a negligent driver. Bicycles are relatively small and therefore hard to see. At night, cyclists should make sure to use reflective gear so that they are easily visible.
Motorists frequently cause accidents when they:
- Enter the bike path
- Fail to yield to a cyclist
- Enter a roadway without looking
- Do not see the cyclist when passing
- Fail to stop at a traffic signal behind a cyclist
Bicyclists may also suffer injury when a pedestrian fails to notice the biker, the bike is defective, or the bike helmet is unsafe.
