Client Testimonial

Andrew Moss was a sound voice of wise counsel after my accident he was not only timely in his responses to my concerns but attentive. I was impressed with his level of thoroughness and holistic approach to the case at hand. He was excellent at helping me understand the pros and cons of how to approach the case and what was in my best interests. Which I might add didn't always benefit him. He held his clients interests above is own and that showed when the case was settled. His integrity and professionalism was impeccable, which the profession is sadly lacking. For this reason I had to give him a review to be a testament to his quality of not just work but his personal standards. I would go to him in the future if I ever needed any legal navigation. I give him 5 stars.

Common Questions About Bicycle Accident Claims in New Brunswick

What are the most common causes of bicycle accidents?
Bicycle accidents can be caused by various factors, including driver negligence or inattention, failure to yield the right-of-way to cyclists, speeding, distracted driving, impaired driving, poor road conditions, and defective bicycle components. Understanding the cause of your accident is crucial for determining liability and building a strong case for compensation.
Liability in a bicycle accident can depend on the specific circumstances of the case. Potentially liable parties may include negligent drivers who collide with cyclists, government entities responsible for maintaining safe road conditions, manufacturers of defective bicycle components, and even other cyclists if their negligence contributed to the accident. In some cases, multiple parties may share liability. An experienced bicycle accident lawyer can help identify all potentially liable parties and hold them accountable for your injuries and damages.
If you’ve been injured in a bicycle accident in New Brunswick, you may be entitled to various forms of compensation, depending on the circumstances of your case. This can include medical expenses, including future costs related to your injuries, lost wages and income if you’re unable to work due to your injuries, pain and suffering damages for physical and emotional distress, property damage to your bicycle and other personal belongings, and out-of-pocket expenses related to the accident, such as transportation costs. In cases involving particularly egregious conduct, you may also be eligible for punitive damages. Your bicycle accident lawyer can help you assess the full extent of your damages and fight for the maximum compensation available.
In New Brunswick, the general time limit for filing a bicycle accident claim, known as the statute of limitations, is two years from the date of the accident. However, there are some exceptions and special circumstances that may extend or shorten this deadline. For example, if a government entity is involved in the accident, you may have a shorter time frame to provide notice of your claim. It’s crucial to consult with a bicycle accident lawyer as soon as possible after your accident to ensure that you don’t miss any important deadlines and to protect your legal rights.
