Economic Loss: Annual financial toll of bicycle accidents.
In Northwest Connecticut, drunk driving and distracted driving on roads like Route 8 and Route 202 increase risks for cyclists. Our Torrington and Waterbury bicycle accident lawyers understand these dangers and build strong cases to protect your rights.
Taking these steps after a bicycle accident can strengthen your claim:
Injuries like fractures, concussions, or road rash need prompt medical attention and documentation for your claim.
Photograph the accident site, bike damage, and injuries to support your Connecticut bicycle accident claim.
Contact local police or Connecticut State Police for an official report, including driver and witness details.
Don’t post about the accident or injuries; insurers may use posts to dispute your personal injury claim.
Contact The Nicholas Law Firm at (860) 489-1878 for a free consultation to protect your rights under Connecticut’s 2-year statute of limitations.
Our Connecticut bicycle accident lawyers are dedicated to protecting cyclists’ rights and holding negligent drivers and insurance companies accountable. Whether you were hit on Route 202, a neighborhood street, or a local bike path, we have the experience and resources to fight for your full recovery.
We have secured millions of dollars in settlements and verdicts for bicycle accident victims across Connecticut. Our legal team aggressively pursues maximum compensation for serious injuries such as head trauma, spinal injuries, and broken bones.
With offices throughout Connecticut, we understand Northwest Connecticut’s roadways, bike lanes, and traffic patterns. We leverage our local knowledge of courts, insurers, and law enforcement to build strong, winning cases.
Our attorneys conduct a thorough investigation of every bicycle crash, reviewing police reports, accident reconstructions, traffic camera footage, and witness statements to prove driver negligence and liability.
We operate on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing unless we win your case. Every injured cyclist, regardless of financial situation, deserves skilled and aggressive legal representation.
Our Connecticut bicycle accident attorneys fight for all available damages to help victims rebuild their lives after being hit by a car or truck. We pursue claims for both economic and non-economic losses, including:
We seek full reimbursement for emergency medical care, surgeries, physical therapy, rehabilitation, and long-term treatments for injuries like concussions, fractures, or spinal damage caused by driver negligence.
Cyclists often face emotional trauma, chronic pain, and loss of enjoyment of life after a crash. We work to secure compensation for both physical and psychological impacts such as anxiety, PTSD, or depression.
If your injuries force you to miss work or impact your ability to earn income in the future, we calculate and recover lost wages and diminished earning potential to reflect the full financial toll.
We demand payment for bike repairs or replacement, as well as damage to safety gear, electronics, or personal property involved in the accident.
Seek medical attention immediately, even for minor injuries. Call 911 for a police report, gather driver and witness information, and take photos of the scene and bike damage. Notify your insurer and avoid admitting fault.
The driver is often liable if they were negligent, such as speeding or distracted. Cyclists must follow traffic rules, and comparative fault may apply. A lawyer can help determine liability.
Yes, you can still claim compensation in Connecticut, but not wearing a helmet may affect your claim due to comparative fault laws. A lawyer can help maximize your recovery.
Compensation ranges from $10,000 to millions, depending on injury severity. It covers medical costs, lost wages, pain and suffering, and bike repairs. A lawyer can provide a case-specific estimate.
We guide you through claims against negligent drivers, including those involved in drunk driving or distracted driving, under Connecticut law.
Analyze police reports, traffic camera footage, and witness statements to establish driver liability.
Collect medical records, witness statements, and expert testimony on accident reconstruction.
Handle insurer communications to secure fair settlements, addressing comparative fault issues.
Ready to litigate for fair compensation if negotiations fail.
Pursue all damages, including medical costs, pain and suffering, and bicycle repairs.

When it comes to high standards, The Nicholas Law Firm has set the bar extremely high. They took on my injury case and helped me get my life back on track, something I am truly grateful for and find humbling. I highly recommend Jeff and the entire Nicholas Law Firm team to anyone needing help to overcome life’s toughest obstacles. Greatest thanks to everyone at The Nicholas Law Firm!
If not for this attorney when my life was upside down, I don't think I'd be where I am today. I used both offices Wtby and Torrington. He made me feel right at home. He fought endless hours against a company known to have attorneys working for them and always winning. WELL NOT ANYMORE. I SEND EVERYONE TO HIM. He fights and fights AND WINS.
I had a complicated case involving multiple insurances, lawyers, and injuries. They handled everything, including Medicare issues, and even resolved a child support payment problem caused by the insurance, preventing legal trouble. They also resolved my Social Security issue without a hearing and assisted with a small family matter. Truly an outstanding law office.
I called Jeff, and the next day, and he followed up right away, helping me resolve the issue with no impact on my insurance. I’ve learned my lesson and won’t be speeding anymore, but if I ever need legal expertise again, I’ll call Jeff immediately. He is knowledgeable, caring, easy to work with, and truly the best.
Thank you to Cindy at the law office for being so informative about our situation and guiding us in the right direction. Your support made a stressful time much easier to navigate.

Attorney Nicholas and his team have provided me with legal advice and assistance on several occasions. The firm is knowledgeable, efficient, and completed all services I requested in a timely manner. I highly recommend Attorney Nicholas to anyone seeking a competent attorney who truly goes the extra mile for his clients.
First, I want to say that I am blessed to have Attorney Jeff Nicholas and his law firm representing me. They have been patient and reassuring during the tough times of surgery and the ongoing battle with workers’ compensation. They have represented me for over 14 years, and although the fight isn’t finished, I know I am in good hands and that they are working for what’s best for me and my family. Many thanks!
After feeling like the insurance company was taking advantage of me, I contacted The Nicholas Law Firm. Not only were they kind and professional, but they also explained everything fully and simply to me, and more than doubled my original expectations for the settlement.
I can't say enough about attorney Nicholas. Ever since Jeff took on my Workers Comp case I couldn't be happier. His knowledge, experience, and staff are awesome. I would highly recommend attorney Nicholas to anyone. As it say on his billboard, "we got your back",and he absolutely does.
