Why Trust Your Case—and Your Future—to a Law Firm?
Deciding whether or not to take legal action is not easy. You may have suffered very painful injuries that make concentration difficult or take up a lot of your time and energy. Trying to navigate the legal system alone when you have so many other things on your mind is a daunting prospect—but you do not have to manage your case by yourself.
A Columbus bike accident attorney from our firm can put our legal experience and knowledge to work for you. We provide respectful, attentive representation that is based on frequent communication:
Communication With Columbus-Based Clients
Once you hire us, you will be able to reach your lawyer by email or phone whenever you have questions. Our firm guarantees a response to all questions within 48 hours.
Your lawyer will also be proactive about providing case updates. Whenever something important happens (or does not happen), we tell you right away, explain what the new development means, and advise you about what your options are.
Communication With the Accident Insurance Company
The liable party’s insurer is already looking for ways to minimize what they pay you. Let us speak to them on your behalf. Seth Bader began his legal career by representing insurers, so we know exactly how to provide them the information they need without compromising your case—and how to negotiate hard for the money you deserve.

Our Columbus Bike Accident Lawyers Can Pursue Compensation for Your Injuries
Your bike accident settlement should include compensation for:
- Past losses, such as medical treatments you have already received and the physical and mental strain you experienced in the moments after the crash
- Current losses, such as income you cannot earn until you heal and ongoing injury symptoms
- Future losses, such as permanent injuries that will always prevent you from working and any future treatments your doctor says are necessary
How can our Columbus lawyers recover this money for you? That depends on the details of your case. Our team is ready to use various legal tools and methods, sometimes simultaneously, to fight for your rights.
We Often Recover Pretrial Settlements for Bike Accident Victims
This is the most common way of resolving a personal injury claim. Insurance companies want to settle cases like yours as quickly as they can, so they are generally willing to work with our legal team to hammer out a settlement agreement.
With this agreement, you will receive your money in either a single payment or in multiple payments over time. In exchange, you agree not to take any further legal action against the liable party.
Rest assured that we will go over the terms of the agreement with you and ensure you understand your rights and obligations before you sign.
We Represent Columbus Clients at Trial When Necessary
Most personal injury claims are resolved through appropriate pretrial settlements. When this cannot be achieved, we take the liable party to court and present your case for a jury’s consideration. We can question witnesses, submit evidence, and deliver oral arguments in the courtroom. You do not have to appear on your own behalf.
Once both sides have presented their cases, it is up to the jury to decide if you deserve compensation and, if so, how much.

Who Is Liable if a Car Hits a Bicycle?
It is important to recognize that drivers are not automatically at fault for bike accidents. Before you can recover compensation, you will need to prove that:
- The liable party, whoever they are, had a legal responsibility to behave cautiously so as to avoid causing harm
- The liable party chose to ignore this responsibility and behaved negligently
- Their act of negligence resulted in your bicycle accident
- The accident caused significant physical, financial, and psychological damage
Based on these criteria, a driver may be liable if they broke a traffic law, such as the speed limit or the state’s drunk driving law. Other parties, such as mechanics or a local government agency, might be at fault if they failed to conduct appropriate and timely repairs or maintenance.
The Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) reports that there were 28 bicycle accidents in Columbus in 2024, resulting in 14 injuries and one fatality. Every accident case is unique and requires careful investigation to identify the liable party or parties. Only then can Bader Law come up with the right legal strategy to pursue the compensation you qualify for.
