Hit and Run Bicycle Accident

Hit-and-run bicycle accidents leave the injured cyclist in a difficult position: you have serious injuries and often no immediate way to identify the driver. Even when the at-fault driver is later found, building a case takes time. In the meantime, you may be able to pursue compensation through your own uninsured motorist (UM) coverage if you have it, or through a claim against the driver once they are identified. Either path can involve lengthy investigation and negotiation.

Hit-and-run victims often suffer the same severe injuries as other bicycle accident victims—head trauma, broken bones, spinal injuries—but with the added stress of not knowing who will pay. Medical bills and lost wages pile up while police and your attorney work to find the driver or while your UM claim is being processed. The emotional toll of being left at the scene can also be significant and may be part of your damages.

Pre-settlement funding can help whether your claim is against an identified driver or through your own insurance. We evaluate your case with your attorney and, if approved, provide funds against your expected recovery. That way you can pay for medical care and living expenses without having to accept a low offer because you need money immediately.
