Our Areas of Expertise
Navigating the maze of insurance coverages can be daunting. Our firm has a streamlined system aimed at ensuring you get full compensation for your damages.
ONE
Gathering Liability Evidence:
Our team gathers crucial evidence, including police reports, police videos, scene photos, witness declarations, vehicle damage photos, repair estimates, physical evidence from the scene and 911 calls to make sure the driver is held accountable for causing the collision and your injuries.
TWO
Investigating Insurance:
We research all available insurance coverages, quickly open all of your claims, relay treatment updates to the adjusters so there are no surprises when they receive our settlement demands, receive and respond to the numerous calls, emails and letters from the adjusters, and keep a meticulous file of all insurance-related communications for your case.
THREE
Property Damage Advocacy:
We work with you to make sure your property valuation accurately reflects your after-market upgrades to your bike and components, that the repair and replacement valuations are fair and accurate, and that the insurance company has all of the estimates, photos and documentation it needs to pay you in full for your bike and gear.
FOUR
Coordinating Medical Bill Payments:
We coordinate payment of your medical bills with the insurance companies. We identify the primary payer and send their information to your medical providers. We also ask the primary payer to request copies of any medical records and bills they need so you can get your bills paid in a timely manner. If there is no primary payer, we work with you and your medical providers to keep your bills out of collections while your case is pending.
FIVE
Gathering Damages Evidence:
We order complete copies of all of your medical records and bills, get wage loss declarations from your employer, talk with people in your life about how your injuries have impacted your life, and we consult with your doctors to make sure all of your injuries are documented.
SIX
Case Valuation Counseling:
When you are done treating, we will educate you about the numerous factors that go into case valuation based on the specific facts of your case so you can make an informed settlement decision that takes into account your past recovery and your future needs.
Fighting Insurance Companies Who Put Profit over People
Insurance companies are always looking to settle your case as fast as possible and for as little money as they can get away with. They will try to blame you for the collision when it wasn’t your fault. They may try to minimize your injuries or how your injuries have impacted your life. You don’t deserve to be treated like that. You deserve to feel protected by an advocate who will stand up to the insurance company and fight fire with fire.
That’s where we come in, guiding you through the claims process, telling your story effectively, and shutting down the insurance company’s liability arguments. We never let up. As an avid cyclist, you deserve to be represented by a fellow lifelong cyclist who knows the rules of the road and will zealously advocate for you to make sure you are not blamed for the collision and can recover 100% of your damages.
