Jackson, MS Bicycle Accident Lawyers

Due to the lack of protection that a bicycle provides compared to a car, bicyclists are much more likely than others on the road to sustain serious, catastrophic injures if they are involved in an accident. These injuries can lead to permanent, life-altering changes for victims, and they often result in enormous medical bills that victims may continue to incur for years to come. To avoid facing the weight of such a heavy financial burden on your own, seek out the assistance and advice of our skilled accident lawyers.

Our attorneys know the types of damages that you may be entitled to under Mississippi law, which may include medical bills, lost wages, diminished earning capacity, emotional distress, pain and suffering, or permanent disability. Many injured bicyclists sustain permanent scarring caused by the impact with the other car or hitting the pavement. The scarring may be in a visible location, such as the face. Our firm has helped victims recover damages for scarring and disfigurement, and we understand what may be needed to prove this element of your case.

Like motorcyclists and pedestrians, bicyclists in the Jackson area are at a significant disadvantage when they are hit by a truck or car. While they are not likely to be found on interstates, they may be traveling near heavy traffic on major roads like US-49, State Street, or Woodrow Wilson Avenue. This situation creates serious hazards. For example, Mississippi witnessed five truck accidents in 2014 in which someone outside a vehicle lost their life. If a victim survives an accident, they need to seek medical treatment as soon as possible. Hospitals like the University of Mississippi Medical Center and St. Dominic Hospital may be able to provide the emergency care that they need.
