Bike Crashes, Wrongful Death, And The Law

Have you ever had trouble seeing a bicyclist while driving? Summertime brings with it an opportunity for cycling enthusiasts to get on the open road but can also create dangers leading to personal injury.

At the Bottaro Law Firm, LLC, we have helped many unfortunate victims struck while biking in bike accidents throughout Rhode Island and Massachusetts. We can help you with medical expenses, lost wages, and dealing with damage to the bike with the insurance companies. Mike and his team takes the time to build a strong case on your behalf so you can focus on your family.

In some circumstances, these crashes can cause serious injuries, even death. When a fatality is involved, there are many important details to investigate as soon as possible on top of the emotional and financial stress. Bike accidents causing death can lead to a special form of case known as wrongful death.

If a person’s carelessness is responsible for someone else’s death, the law can hold them responsible. Family members may be entitled to recover damages such as: compensation for the deceased’s medical expenses, funeral and burial costs, pain and suffering, and lost wages and other important benefits.
