ATTENTION SPECIALIZED BIKE RIDERS: BEWARE OF PRODUCT LIABILITY DEFECTS!

Minnesota and Wisconsin Product Liability Lawyer Is Concerned With Your Safety.

 

You’re an experience rider.  You paid good money for your Specialized bike.

(Probably lots and lots of money.)  So don’t get tossed when the bike fails you! You need to know about recalls on Specialized handlebars and cable-stops before you get hurt.  Or, if you’ve already been hurt because of one of these product defects, you need to know that attorney Nate Bjerke and the product liability lawyers at Champion Law LLC can tell you about your rights and claims. 

The first Specialized recall relates to breaking handlebars.  This recall involves HL handlebars on the following 2009 Specialized bicycles: Cross Trail Comp, Myka HT Comp, Myka HT Elite, Rockhopper, Rockhopper Comp and Rockhopper Comp 29. The model number of the HL handlebar is ALR-13 NTFOV and is located underneath the right hand grip of the handlebar. One rider had the handlebars break, causing a crash and head trauma.

The second recall relates to the cable stop.  The cable stop on some bikes can loosen.  The recall is for the following bikes: 2004 Roubaix Comp 18, 2004 Roubaix Comp 27, 2004 Roubaix Pro 18, and 2004 Roubaix Pro frameset models.

Only bicycles with a single rivet fastening the cable stop to the frame are subject to recall. The cable stop is attached through bonding materials and a single rivet mounted at the front of the bicycle. The cables pass through eyelets in the cable stop on the down tube. Bicycles with a double rivet fastening the cable stop to the frame are not subject to recall. The model names of the recalled bicycles can be found on the top tube of the bicycles. One rider had the cable stop loosen, lost control and ended up with fractures and surgery.  

If you have one of these bikes, stop riding it!  Call your dealer and get the parts replaced – Specialized will pick up the tab. 

 If we’re getting to you too late and you’ve already been hurt, call Nate Bjerke, or one of the other lawyers at his firm, Champion Law LLC at 866-778-2919. 

 

Why should you call Nate Bjerke instead of some other lawyer?  Because Nate and Champion Law know product liability cases inside and out.  Nate used to defend giant manufacturing companies and knows that even when they recall products, they don’t always treat people who have been hurt by those defective products fairly. Champion Law levels the playing field.

Had An Accident? When Is It Time To Hire A Personal Injury Attorney?

MN Personal Injury Lawyers Discuss Having Had An Accident

If you have suffered an accident, you may be entitled to personal injury.

A car accident may seriously compromise your quality of life if your injuries are serious, or affect your ability to work. This may further have a financial impact on you, and result in psychological stress.

In such a case, you may make a claim for Personal Injury Compensation.

Personal Injury Compensation is meant to pay the damages of any personal injury. A car accident is a personal injury, and you are eligible for Personal Injury Compensation if it was not your fault. First, you should notify the police of the situation. Also, immediately report the incident to your insurance company and doctor. Your doctor should evaluate your health and write up a medical report, which would be needed if you take the matter to court. You should also record the details of the accident on your own, and if there are any eyewitnesses, you should get their accounts and their contact numbers for further contact.

It is best to hire a personal injury specialist to carry your case forward if you decide to go ahead with filing for compensation. The personal injury lawyers at Champion-Law will work hard to see that you receive 100% of the compensation you deserve. Our firm is one of the industry’s most respected liability attorneys and one of the most successful personal injury attorneys in Minnesota.

All too often injury victims are discouraged with taking legal action out of fear of dealing with big insurance companies. With so much involved, many people just plain give up. They think they cannot possibly go up against the companies possibly because of their lack of knowledge. It can be a very intimidating ordeal.

Representing personal injury victims is what we do. The personal injury attorneys at Champion-Law are experienced in knowing how to build and negotiate with the insurance companies.

So How Do I Pick The Right Lawyer – The First in a Series of Discussions

MN and WI Lawyers Discuss How to Pick The Right Lawyer for You

This is the first in a series on helping you choose the right lawyer for your personal situation.  We, the attorneys at Champion-Law have come out with a free booklet that will help you answer some questions with the 5 Traps that can kill your personal injury Case.  You can request your free copy here.

Now that you have our materials talking about how the personal injury process works and the five traps that can kill your personal injury case, you may be wondering whether you want to hire a lawyer to help with your case.  If you decide to hire a lawyer, you have another decision to make: which lawyer is right for your case? 

Looking through the phone book or on the internet is confusing.  The yellow pages, for example, are full of lawyer ads that all basically say the same things:

·         “We’ll fight for you!”

·         “Free Consultation!” and

·          “No-Fee Unless You Recover!”

So with all these similarities, how do you pick the right lawyer for your personal injury case?  Here is the start of questions you must ask a law firm before you hire their lawyers to go to work for you:

Is the lawyer’s practice exclusively devoted to representing injury victims? 

Injury and insurance law is complex.  Lawyers who dabble in personal injury cases may be good lawyers, but because they don’t spend all of their time representing injury victims, they simply won’t be as skilled as a lawyer who does spend their time devoted to helping their clients with their personal injuries. 

We at know it is a trying time dealing with injuries.  That is why we came out with the booklet, so that you can have some of your questions answered. 

Come back and visit our blog this week to continue on with the discussion and the questions you may have in hiring a lawyer.  If you would like to have more in-depth questions or concerns answered, call us at: 651-766-5886, or visit our website.  Don’t forget to get your free booklet.

MINNESOTA AND BICYCLE ACCIDENT ATTORNEYS WANT YOU TO KNOW YOUR RIGHTS

Bicyclist’s Rights In an Accident – MN Bicycle attorneys 

The weather is starting to warm up – finally!   With spring, many of us start spending more time on our bicycles and less time in our cars.  Unfortunately, that often leads to more bicycle crashes and accidents.  When a car and a bike collide, its not a fair fight – the car always wins.  Still, at-fault drivers who hit bicyclists often blame the person on the bike. 

 What the driver of the car and their insurance company probably won’t tell you is that regardless of who is at fault, the bicyclist probably can get coverage under the car’s no-fault insurance.  A bicyclist injured in a collision with a car, truck or other motor vehicle is entitled to receive up to $20,000.00 in medical and $20,000.00 in wage loss benefits from that vehicle pursuant to the Minnesota No Fault Act. 

 So if you’ve been in a bicycle crash – even one that may have been your fault – contact the Minnesota bicycle attorneys at Champion Law at 651.766.5886 to discuss your options – for FREE – or visit our web-site at www.champion-law.com
