Cyclists have rights. When drivers violate them and cause injuries, we fight back.
Huntsville is becoming increasingly bike-friendly, with trails like the Aldridge Creek Greenway and Indian Creek Greenway attracting cyclists of all ages. But sharing the road with motor vehicles remains dangerous.
When a 3,000-pound vehicle collides with a cyclist, the results are often catastrophic. Broken bones, traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, and death are common outcomes. At The Lackey Law Firm, we advocate for injured cyclists throughout Huntsville and North Alabama — and we know how to win these cases.
Alabama is one of only a few states with pure contributory negligence. If a cyclist is found even 1% at fault for an accident, they cannot recover any damages. Insurance companies routinely try to blame cyclists — claiming they were riding too fast, weren't visible enough, or violated traffic laws. We fight these unfair accusations aggressively.
When a vehicle strikes a cyclist, the human body absorbs the full force of the collision. Injuries are often severe, life-altering, or fatal — even when the cyclist was wearing proper safety gear.
Emergency care, surgery, rehabilitation, and ongoing treatment costs.
Income lost during recovery and reduced earning capacity going forward.
Replacement cost for your bike, helmet, and any equipment damaged in the accident.
Physical pain and emotional distress caused by the accident and recovery.
Compensation for permanent physical changes resulting from the crash.
Inability to cycle, exercise, or participate in the activities you love.
Anxiety, PTSD, and psychological harm resulting from the accident.
