Every bike crash involves unique circumstances, and each type demands a tailored legal strategy to prove fault and pursue full compensation. Our experienced Valparaiso bike crash lawyers understand how crashes happen, what drivers do wrong, and which facts can make or break your case.
We represent injured cyclists in cases involving:
1. Right-hook crashes: A vehicle turns right across a bike lane, striking the cyclist.
2. Dooring incidents: A car door opens into a rider’s path without warning, leaving no time to avoid impact.
3. Intersection collisions: Drivers fail to yield or misjudge a cyclist’s speed at traffic lights or stop signs.
4. Blind spot accidents: A cyclist disappears from view during improper lane changes or turns.
5. Hit-and-run collisions: The driver flees the scene, complicating the investigation and injury claim.
6. Failure to yield violations: A motorist disregards right-of-way laws, putting the rider in direct danger.
7. Unsafe lane changes: A vehicle swerves into a bike lane or shoulder without signaling or checking mirrors.
Unsure how your crash happened or who’s at fault? Let us investigate and protect your right to full compensation.
In every bicycle injury case, proving liability is the key to securing full compensation. Our accident attorneys act quickly to collect and preserve critical legal evidence that supports your claim and counters the defense.
Our legal team uses proven tactics to establish fault:
Fault isn’t just proven – it’s built with evidence, strategy, and timing. Our legal team is ready to build your case and fight for the compensation you deserve.
We pursue the full value of your bicycle injury claim, not just what the insurance company wants to pay. Our experienced Valparaiso injury attorney ensures every loss is documented, calculated, and supported with evidence that reflects both your immediate needs and long-term impact.
We help clients recover compensation across three key categories:
1. Economic damages:
These cover direct financial losses related to your injuries.
2. Non-economic damages:
These address how the accident affects your life beyond bills and receipts.
3. Additional damages:
In more severe or extreme cases, these damages may apply.
We don’t just calculate losses, we build cases that reflect the full human cost of your injury, now and in the future.
If the driver who hit you doesn’t have insurance or doesn’t carry enough, you may still be able to recover compensation. Under Indiana law, uninsured (UM) and underinsured motorist (UIM) coverage can help injured cyclists receive financial recovery through their own auto insurance policy, or in some cases, a household family member’s policy, if they live together and the policy allows it.
At Langer & Langer, we know how to navigate UM/UIM claims and push back when insurers delay, deny, or underpay what you’re owed.
Here’s how we help injured cyclists in uninsured or underinsured driver cases:
Minimum UM/UIM Coverage in Indiana
Indiana requires insurance companies to offer at least:
Higher limits may apply, depending on your policy. Don’t assume you’re out of options. Even if the at-fault driver lacks coverage, our attorneys can help you pursue full compensation through all available insurance paths.
Choosing the right attorney after an accident can make all the difference. At Langer & Langer, we bring decades of experience representing injured cyclists throughout Indiana combining aggressive legal representation with personal support every step of the way. Our goal is to make you feel confident, informed, and protected from day one.

Where your accident happened can affect your claim. We can confirm if your location falls within our coverage.
Yes, you can file a wrongful death claim if a loved one was killed in a bicycle accident caused by another’s negligence. Indiana law allows the estate or surviving family to recover damages for financial and emotional loss.
The statute of limitations for a bicycle injury claim in Indiana is two years from the date of the crash. Missing this deadline bars your right to pursue compensation through a personal injury lawsuit.
Yes, you can still file a claim if you weren’t wearing a helmet. Indiana does not have a statewide helmet law for adults, so failing to wear one isn’t a legal violation, though it may be considered in determining comparative fault for head injuries.
The most common injuries in a bicycle accident include head trauma, broken bones, road rash, spinal injuries, and internal bleeding. Severity often depends on speed, impact location, and whether the cyclist was wearing safety gear.
Yes, you can sue if a defective bike part caused your accident. These cases fall under product liability law and require proof of a design defect, manufacturing failure, or inadequate safety warnings.
It depends. Most bicycle accident cases settle out of court, but disputes over fault, severe injuries, or low insurance offers increase the likelihood of trial. Our qualified lawyers prepare every case for court from day one.
The moment you were hit, everything changed. Getting legal help shouldn’t add more stress; it should give you relief, direction, and control.
At Langer & Langer, we act fast to protect your case, preserve evidence, and push back against lowball tactics. You focus on healing. We handle the rest.

Accessibility Statement
Compliance status
We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and ability.
To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.
This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.
Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML, adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.
If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email
Screen-reader and keyboard navigation
Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements, alongside console screenshots of code examples:
Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.
These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.
Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside it.
Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.
Disability profiles supported in our website
Additional UI, design, and readability adjustments
Browser and assistive technology compatibility
We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers).
Notes, comments, and feedback
Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs. There may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please reach out to
