How Our Lawyers Represent
Bicycle Accident Victims in Edmonton
Our Edmonton bicycle accident lawyers help clients receive both justice and compensation after bicycle accidents. We work to show the seriousness of your injuries, the effects they have on your life, and that you deserve fair compensation for your recovery.
Prepare the Injury Case
Before MNH Injury Lawyers think about bringing a case against the liable party, we have to make sure that the evidence against them is as strong as possible.
This includes:
-
Consulting with you:
Bicycle accident victims are always welcome to call us for a free case review. A lawyer at MNH Injury Lawyers can tell you whether or not you have a legal case and give an opinion on the merits of that case subject to the evidence and information available. -
Investigating the accident:
We collect evidence from as many sources as possible. This confirms important details about the accident and the seriousness of the injuries you suffered. -
Determining who is liable:
In many bicycle accident cases, there is only one liable party from whom you can recover damages. In some cases, there may be more than one. We can identify everyone who contributed to the accident. -
Calculating your damages:
It is challenging to put a monetary value on physical and emotional suffering. The team at MNH Injury Lawyers can assist you with establishing your losses, intangible and tangible, and assigning a range of value to them.
Fight for You During the Settlement Process
In many cases, the liable parties themselves do not pay damages after an accident; rather, their insurance company does. Insurance companies do not always play fair. Instead of offering an equitable, fair, and reasonable settlement to bicycle accident victims, they may refuse to negotiate, try to blame the victim for their injuries to minimize their exposure, or simply lowball you with their offers.
Our team at MNH Injury Lawyers is familiar with all of these tactics and more that an insurance company may use to avoid paying you what you deserve.
We protect your rights and interests by:
-
Handling all communications:
Instead of trying to speak with the insurance company on your own, we deal with them once you retain us. -
Handling all paperwork:
This includes the initial notification, submission of documentary evidence, and settlement paperwork. -
Taking the case to mediation or trial:
Settlements before mediation or trial are often a faster way of getting the fair compensation you deserve. However, if necessary and if the insurer is being unreasonable, we will take your case to mediation or trial.
Support You Throughout the Process of Your Injury Case
Even with a lawyer from MNH Injury Lawyers to manage all of your legal details, a lawsuit can be challenging.
Our team strives to make the process as stress-free as possible by:
-
Being available when you need us:
We encourage clients to contact us with any questions or concerns. -
Helping you make decisions:
We can explain relevant laws and processes so that you can make timely decisions about your case. -
Keeping you up to date:
If and when something important occurs in a case, we contact the client as soon as possible and strategize with you, the client. This way, you do not have to wonder and worry about what is going on.We are available to our clients by many means. -
Being professional:
Clients may find it difficult to stay calm and neutral when considering their injuries. Our team empathizes with you and will help you to understand your case in new ways and keep a clear head by asking the right questions and getting the right information from you to build a winning case.

Wrongful Death Damages if You Lost a Loved One to a Bicycle Accident

What Evidence Can Be Used
to Prove My Bicycle Accident Case?
There are many potential sources of evidence in a bicycle accident case in Edmonton. Our lawyers at MNH Injury Lawyers can strengthen your case by collecting evidence from as many different sources as necessary.
Depending on your circumstances, this evidence may include:
-
Medical records:
Your treatment history can confirm that the injuries you suffered were caused
by the accident and that they affected your ability to live your normal life. -
Expert testimony:
For example, medical and economic professionals can both speak to the toll your injuries had on you. -
Eyewitness testimony:
This may refer to people who saw the accident or its aftermath, or even people you know who can speak
to the change in your well-being.
-
Photos or video footage:
If you or a witness captured any part of the accident on camera, we may be able to use that footage. We can also find out if there are surveillance cameras in the area where your accident happened. -
Accident reports:
The authorities who responded to your accident should have filed a report with critical details about what happened, who was there, and so on. -
Expert Reports:
Sometimes, your lawyer may need to retain engineering and medical experts to assist with valuing your claim or in determining liability.
-
Paystubs:
To prove a loss of income, we can look various records including tax returns, employment files, paystubs, etc to quantify your loss of income claims.
Once we collect all possible evidence, we can use it to tell a compelling story about how your injuries happened and who is to blame. The more complete our case, the more likely it may be that the insurance company will offer a fair settlement either through negotiation or litigation.
