According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHSTA) in 2013, motor vehicle crashes led to:

  • 743 bicyclist fatalities

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in 2013, car crashes led to:

Bicycle and pedestrian accident victims and their families can incur hundreds of thousands of dollars in lost wages, medical bills, funeral expenses, and/or long-term medical care. You might even be entitled to damages for pain and suffering. Don’t accept quick settlements from insurance companies that don’t have your best interests in mind.

You have rights. At Fieger Law, we’re here to defend those rights and get you the financial compensation you need to move forward. We’ve fought and won for hundreds of victims of bicycle and pedestrian accidents and we’re ready to fight for you.
