Hurt in a Bicycle Accident?

No one wants to be injured in a bicycle accident, but unfortunately statistics show it happens all the time – especially in cities. If you, or someone you love, were hurt in an accident while biking, contact Edgar Snyder & Associates now to protect your legal rights.

Call 412-668-5335, or fill out the form at the top right of this webpage to get started with a no obligation, free legal consultation. Your Pennsylvania car insurance medical benefits should cover your treatment, but chances are the other person's insurance company will offer you much less than you deserve for pain and suffering. If you don't have auto insurance, or if the other person is uninsured or underinsured, it can get even trickier.

Don't trust the insurance company to look out for you. Rely on the experienced attorneys and legal staff at Edgar Snyder & Associates to help you get your life back on track. Contact us today, before evidence disappears and it's too late.
