The car came out of nowhere. Now your bike is wrecked, your body hurts, and the medical bills are already showing up. You are worried about getting back to work and being taken seriously by the driver’s insurance company.
You are wondering whether being on a bicycle instead of in a car means your injuries matter less.
They do not.
Scott Best Law has spent more than 25 years representing injured people across Northern Kentucky and Ohio. As an experienced Personal Injury Lawyer, Scott Best handles every part of a bicycle accident case from the first call through the final resolution and does not charge a fee unless compensation is recovered for the client.
Contact us today to talk about what happened and find out what your case may be worth.
Bicycle accidents happen in many ways, and each one raises different legal questions about who is responsible and what compensation you can recover. We represent cyclists across Burlington and Boone County who have been injured in situations like these:
A cyclist has no steel frame, no airbag, and no seatbelt. When a car hits a bike, the injuries are often serious and may include broken bones, road rash deep enough to require skin grafts, concussions, and spinal injuries that change how you live and work.
Nothing is more frightening for a parent than seeing their child injured. Bicycle accidents involving children happen in neighborhoods and near local schools in Burlington. Injuries like fractures, concussions, or internal trauma can have long-lasting effects on a child’s growth and well-being.
Legally, claims involving minors are handled differently than adult claims in Kentucky. A parent or legal guardian must file the insurance claim or lawsuit on the child’s behalf. Under Kentucky law, the statute of limitations for a minor’s personal injury claim is generally “tolled” (paused). This means the time limit to file a lawsuit may not begin until the child turns 18, giving families more time to understand the full scope of any long-term medical needs.
At Scott Best Law, we handle these sensitive cases with the utmost care. We work to secure compensation that accounts not just for immediate emergency room bills, but for any future physical therapy, specialized medical care, and the emotional trauma your child has experienced.

The steps you take right after a crash can shape the entire case. If you are able, do the following:
We offer free consultations and will review your situation as soon as possible after you contact us.
If a motor vehicle was involved, Kentucky law generally allows up to two years from the date of the accident or the last PIP (personal injury protection) payment to file a lawsuit (KRS 304.39-230). Missing this deadline means losing the right to recover compensation entirely, so it is important to speak with an attorney early.
Kentucky uses pure comparative negligence. You can still recover money even if you were partly at fault, though your compensation is reduced by your percentage of responsibility. We gather evidence early, including traffic camera footage and witness statements, to challenge any attempt to shift blame onto you.
Kentucky does not require adult cyclists to wear helmets. Not wearing one will not disqualify your case. However, the insurance company may argue it contributed to a head injury.
Nothing upfront. We work on a contingency fee, which means you pay no attorney fees unless we recover money for your case. The consultation is free, and there is no risk in calling to find out where you stand.
