Bicycle Accident Attorney in Wyoming
Cyclists are among the most vulnerable people on the road and often suffer significant injuries from bicycle accidents, such as bone fractures, head trauma, scarring, internal injuries, spinal cord injuries, and more. These sorts of hard injury claims are both expensive and complex, which is why you need a bicycle accident attorney to handle your case. Bicycles have very minimal protection against other vehicles on the road and lack the rear-view visibility of said other vehicles, putting them at high risk for accidents. While cyclists need to ride safely, bicycles are considered vehicles under Wyoming law, and both cyclists and other motorists need to abide by state laws for optimal safety.
Bicyclists have the same rights and responsibilities as other drivers in Wyoming, and ergo, must obey traffic signals, laws, and ride with traffic as opposed to against it. Unfortunately, many people do not give bicycles the space they need, and in the event of a bicycle accident, argue that bicycles shouldn’t be on the road. If you’ve been involved in a bicycle accident, hiring an experienced attorney will ensure that you receive the compensation you deserve. There’s no need for you to fight with insurance adjusters who will make you lower settlements than you deserve.
The bicycle accident attorneys at LeBaron & Jensen are experienced in the ways insurance companies seek to save themselves money and try to tire you out so you don’t have the energy to fight for what you deserve. Many insurance companies will argue you don’t need an attorney for your case – this isn’t true, and is a tactic used to get away with making lower settlements. When you’ve suffered a bicycle accident, you’ll likely be dealing with serious injuries. Don’t try to handle an insurance company on top of trying to recover. Our experienced attorneys are dedicated to fighting for you in an aggressive and demanding manner to ensure you receive the compensation and justice that you are owed.
Common Factors In Bicycle Accidents
Bicycles are vehicles under Wyoming law. Cyclists need to signal when they make turns and obey traffic signs and signals. While bicyclists shouldn’t ride on pedestrian sidewalks, there are no laws against it. However, the defendant’s insurance can try to use that against you if you do. Riding a bicycle while under the influence is illegal. Even though bicycles are considered vehicles, they should not interfere with car traffic and should instead ride as far to the right as possible, with the flow of traffic. Wyoming’s safe passing laws dictate that drivers are required to keep three feet of distance between their car and a bicycle. You must be visible while riding your bike and ride in a predictable manner.
However, even if you abide by all the laws and safety precautions, you can still be victim to a bicycle accident. These cases are often very complex, involving several parties, such as you, the driver, insurance companies, and your attorney. Though bicycle accidents may seem straightforward, they can result from a number of factors. Some of the most common factors of bicycle accidents include:
- Bicycle defects: If part of your bicycle fails, it can provide you with claims against the manufacturer.
- Road defects: Potholes, low shoulders, and other lack of maintenance and road defects can factor into bicycle accidents.
- Vehicle defects: Faulty brakes, worn out tires, and other lack of maintenance or vehicle issues can factor into accidents.
- Driver negligence: A leading cause of bicycle accidents, drivers can cause them through swerving into you, hitting you from behind, not paying attention, not giving you enough space, and more.
- Employer liability: If the driver who hit you was driving as part of their job, their employer can potentially be liable for your injuries and losses.

I had a great experience with LeBaron & Jensen P.C. They kept in contact with me throughout the entire process, and were extremely informative and explained anything I didn’t understand about the proceedings of the case. I would highly recommend LeBaron & Jensen to anyone seeking Legal representation. I was driving westbound on Highway 193 in Clearfield Utah, when I came to the intersection of 1000 East and Highway 193. I noticed that a firetruck was travelling east towards the intersection with its emergency lights on, all traffic around me, including myself, slowed to a stop to allow the firetruck an unimpeded path to travel. However, I noticed the Jeep behind me wasn’t slowing down. There wasn’t anything I could do to avoid the collision, so I just braced for impact. Although I was wearing my seatbelt, I still suffered many injuries to my neck, shoulders, back, and arms. About a month after the accident I finally sought medical help for my injuries. I underwent many years of treatment for my accident-related injuries, including a carpel tunnel surgery and 2 rhyzotomy procedures, x-rays, MRIs causing me to incur over $60,000 in medical expenses. I decided I should seek legal help with my case, as I knew there was no way I could pay my medical expenses on my own. The legal team at LeBaron & Jensen were exceptional. They were able to negotiate with my health insurance and medical providers, lowering costs where they could. When all my legal and medical fees were paid, I was left with over $79,000. This money will help me pay for the future treatment that I will have to receive to try and help alleviate my future pain and suffering. I’m grateful for LeBaron & Jensen P.C. and everyone there who helped with my case! I thank them every day for the patience and persistence it took to see this through to a beneficial end.

LeBaron & Jensen did a great job for me, kept me informed throughout the process, and helped make sure that I got the compensation I needed. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone who is suffering after an accident like mine. I was driving eastbound on Highway 193, a four-lane highway in Layton, Utah. I came to a stop at the two-way intersection of Highway 193 and North Hills Drive. The other driver failed to yield to my right-of-way and proceeded southbound through the intersection, I wasn’t able to stop fast enough, and I T-boned the other vehicle at a high speed. The impact of the crash was so severe that it triggered my vehicle’s airbags. The severity of the crash caused many serious and extensive injuries to my neck, back, shoulders, and head. Thankfully, I was restrained by my seatbelt, which prevented any worse injuries. I had to receive treatment for over a year and a half following the accident, including surgery on one of my shoulders. I was faced with $76,000 in medical bills. I knew I needed help, so I contacted LeBaron & Jensen P.C. Their attorneys worked diligently and negotiated with my insurance providers. After paying all my medical and legal fees, I was still able to pocket $51,000 to compensate for the pain, and suffering I endured because of the accident.

In January of 2014, my husband was involved in a terrible accident. He was driving on highway 89 in Wellsville, UT, when another driver ran a stop sign and pulled out in front of him. He tried to swerve out of the way, but he wasn’t able to avoid hitting the other vehicle. The resulting impact was so severe that even though he was wearing a seatbelt, he was violently thrown around in the cab of his truck and, as a result, hit his head on the windshield. This caused many injuries to his shoulders, back, and neck. My husband also suffered massive bruising and internal damage, and that’s not even the full extent of the injuries he suffered. He had to receive extensive treatments, including several shoulder surgeries, to try and help alleviate the pain he suffered because of the accident. Even after he underwent all those treatments he was still left in immense pain, and to top it all off, he was diagnosed with cancer in July of 2016. He decided to put off treatment for his shoulders to try and focus on his cancer treatments. He passed away in October of 2017. LeBaron & Jensen were there fighting for us through it all. They were able to get a settlement that covered all of Robert’s accident-related medical bills and all the required legal fees and additional money for his pain and suffering as a result of the accident. I’m so grateful for LeBaron & Jensen and all their support for myself and my husband through the years.

- When I tried to get coverage from the other driver’s insurance, they denied it. They told me that they had canceled the policy only a few days before the accident. The attorneys at LeBaron & Jensen P.C. were able to force the other driver’s insurance to pay out her policy limits of $25k plus replacing my car. I even ended up with a little money to set aside, that was important because this accident left me permanently disabled. The LeBaron & Jensen team negotiated with my health insurance provider and my other health care providers to reduce the costs of my medical expenses. I am very thankful for their professional service, and hard work. I couldn’t have negotiated on my own, I needed every ounce of energy to recover.Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness
