	Incumbent Bicycle Car Crash In Oregon And Washington July 31st, 2008 Having handled many bike crashes (involving cars) in Oregon these last 17 years I know bikers get the bad rap. Often in bike versus car crash and this applies equally well to incumbent bike car crashes. Incumbent bikes are designed to ride lower to the ground making visibility often a recurring issue in bike car cases whether involving settlement or litigation of the injury case. Biking laws in Oregon and Washington do not differentiate between incumbent bike law and non incumbent bike law so the regular rules of the road apply. I have seen more serious injuries involving incumbent bikes versus non incumbent but I have also seen a much higher knowledge of bike rules and biker expertise of those who ride incumbent bikes. Posted in Injury - Bike \| No Comments » Bike Injuries On The Rise With Bike Use July 14th, 2008 With gas prices rising, we will likely see more bike and moped injury accidents. I have read recently in Paris that bicycle crashes are up 7% compared with a 24% increase in biker use. Its likely that as bike use increases more space will also be given to bikers by transportation officials as bikes start chipping away at the car and automobile hard drive and infrastructure. Posted in Injury - Bike \| No Comments » Paying Medical Bills When Injured In An Oregon Or Washington State Bicycle Accident June 2nd, 2008 Bicyclists injured by a car in Oregon and Washington, by insurance law and regulations, will have their medical bills paid under PIP. PIP is personal injury protection. PIP is usually issued by the at fault driver’s insurance company with benefits available to have one’s bills paid up to $15,000. If you have a serious injury in a bike accident then you can stack pip coverage if you have a car insurance policy or live with someone who does or even get your private health insurer to foot the bill and then get reimbursed later at time your bike car claim settles Posted in Injury - Bike \| Comments Off « Previous Entries	Archives August 2008 July 2008 June 2008 May 2008 April 2008 March 2008 February 2008 January 2008 December 2007 November 2007 October 2007 September 2007 August 2007 July 2007 June 2007 May 2007 April 2007 Categories Car Accidents (24) Car Accidents - Police (3) Car Accidents with boats/trailers (1) Cases (1) Diminished Value (4) Dog Bite Injuries (12) Electronics and Accidents (1) Family situations (1) Injuries (39) Injuries - Children (3) Injury - ATV and other eqiupment (1) Injury - Bike (7) Injury - Boat (2) Injury - Burns (1) Injury - Holidays (3) Injury - home or sidewalk (4) Injury - Livestock (1) Injury - Motorcycle (1) Injury - on site (3) Injury - Pedestrian (10) Injury - Pool, River or Lake (2) Injury - Train (1) Large Commercial Trucking (18) Links (1) Loss Of Life Cases (5) Nursing Home Injury (3) Oregon Accident Law (23) Oregonian Articles (1) Press Releases (2) Seasonal Injuries (1) Seat Belt Laws (3) Social Security Disability Claims (1) Links We Like Oregon Injury Law Office Meta Login Valid XHTML XFN WordPress
