Thomas F. Forsyth Bicycle Attorney
Frequently Asked Questions
How much is my case worth?
There is no hard and fast rule regarding the value of a particular case. Each case turns on its own unique facts and circumstances. However, serious injury cases that involve broken bones, concussions, permanent scarring or joint and cartilage issues are generally worth more money. Even in soft tissue injury cases, there are often significant factors regarding loss of earnings, future care, future medical expenses, and loss of enjoyment of cycling that can significantly drive up the value.

How long will my case take to settle?
A majority of cases (80%-90%) are settled within six (6) months to one (1) year from the time our office begins working on the case.

What about my bike?
The property damage portion of the case is usually resolved within 30-60 days from the time the file is opened. Also, Mr. Forsyth does not take an attorney’s fee from your property damage settlement. He handles this portion of the case as a courtesy to his clients. Therefore, any and all property damage settlement awarded by the insurance company belongs to the client only. Property damage also includes any personal items.
