At Russell and Hill, PLLC, our Coeur d’Alene injury attorneys are committed to helping you recover and obtain maximum compensation for all hospital bills, future medical needs, lost wages, pain, suffering and other losses, as well as any other damages related to your bicycle accident.
When a bicycle and a car collide, the bicyclist is always the one in grave danger. The bicyclist is vulnerable, being hit by a car or truck that typically will weigh a minimum of 4,000 pounds. He lacks protection aside from a helmet and things like reflectors to enhance his visibility. The driver of the car, on the other hand, is well protected and in almost no danger from the bicycle or bicyclist.
Living in or around Coeur d’Alene, bicyclists are often training in preparation for the Ironman Coeur d’Alene, and as the city expands and the infrastructure becomes more congested, the opportunities for more accidents arise. It’s a perfect storm waiting to happen.

Many auto insurance policies include personal injury protection (PIP) to cover injured bicyclists. We can help guide you through the process of PIP claims, including bifurcated claims.
