The Legal Process Moves Fast—You Need to Move Faster

After a bicycle accident, the window to act is smaller than most people think. In Pennsylvania, you generally have two years to file a personal injury lawsuit, but waiting even two weeks can damage your claim. Accident scenes get cleaned up. Witnesses forget. Security footage gets erased. And while you're still in recovery, the insurance representatives are already working to deny your claim or shrink your payout. Acting early lets us control the timeline and collect the proof you’ll need to win.

We file aggressively. Your bicycle accident attorney builds the case while medical experts assess the full extent of your bike injuries, including other injuries like nerve damage, torn ligaments, or post traumatic stress disorder. We document every loss—lost wages, medical care, reduced earning capacity, and the long-term impact of pain and suffering. This is how you pursue fair settlement. The longer you wait, the more control you hand to the insurance companies, and the more likely you are to accept a low offer that doesn’t come close to your full recovery. Your time is limited, and your outcome depends on action.

• Your own insurance might pay—if you handle it correctly.

  In a bicycle crash, the driver’s insurance company might not have enough insurance coverage to pay what your case is worth. That’s when your own insurance company becomes relevant. If you carry underinsured motorist coverage under your auto insurance, it can help cover your unpaid damages. Most people don’t even realize that applies when they’re not in a car. But you must file this type of claim correctly, and on time. We file these claims often, especially in hit and run driver cases. That experience means we recover more, and faster, than most firms.

• Our aggressive legal strategy works.

  Muller Brazil is not a volume shop. We're a law firm that treats each bicycle accident case like it's personal, because to the person injured, it is. Every file gets full attention from an experienced attorney who works in personal injury law daily—not just someone who dabbles in it. You’ll never be handed off to a junior associate or legal assistant. This is a firm that puts trial-ready pressure on the insurance companies from day one. That pressure leads to bigger offers and faster results in real personal injury cases.

  We don’t wait for the insurer to play fair. We document every part of your damages with precision—medical care, lost wages, and long-term losses. Then we go further and bring in specialists when needed: orthopedic surgeons, neurologists, financial analysts, even psychological experts in post traumatic stress disorder. This is how we win personal injury claims involving injury victims and life altering injuries. If the insurance representatives stall, we move to court. If they lowball, we push back. When you work with our legal team, you get sharp strategy, personal service, and the kind of legal representation that gives you the power to pursue compensation confidently. A case doesn’t drag here. It moves.

Helpful FAQs

• What should bicycle accident victims do immediately after a crash?

  Injured bicyclists should document the accident scene, get medical care even for minor pain, and avoid speaking to insurance representatives without legal counsel. If possible, take photos, gather witness info, and preserve any bike damage. These steps help protect your legal rights and support your claim. Many people don’t realize that bicycle safety measures and roadway design could shift fault toward the driver or municipality. Immediate action also gives your law firm time to secure evidence and push for full compensation.

• Can I still file a claim if I suffered other injuries that weren’t obvious at first?

  Yes, many bicycle crash victims don’t experience the full effects of other injuries like internal trauma or nerve damage until days or weeks later. You should always follow up with your doctor and document symptoms over time. These late-appearing conditions often qualify for compensation, especially if they contribute to long-term pain or disability. A personal injury attorney can include these details when negotiating with the driver’s insurance company.

• Is a serious bike accident claim different from other traffic accidents?

  A serious bike accident often involves more complex damages than standard car collisions. Without the protection of a vehicle, cyclists face a higher risk of life altering injuries like traumatic brain injury or spinal damage. These claims usually involve higher medical costs and require more extensive evidence. Your attorney must prove the careless driver violated traffic laws or other traffic laws, and that those violations caused the crash.

• Will I get a free consultation before hiring a lawyer for my bicycle accident case?

  Yes. We offer a free consultation to injured riders. This gives you the chance to ask about strategy, timelines, and expected outcomes. It also allows your attorney to review available insurance coverage and determine whether you’ll need to use your own insurance company. Bringing medical records and documentation of your injuries helps your legal team give accurate feedback right away.

• Should I hire an experienced lawyer for bike injuries or handle it myself?

  Handling a serious bike injury claim on your own can cost you tens of thousands in lost compensation. An experienced lawyer understands the full value of bike injuries, including hidden damages like lost earning potential or long-term pain. They also know how to counter lowball offers from insurance companies and present expert evidence when needed. The cost of hiring a professional is nothing compared to what you could lose trying to represent yourself.
