Liability review, insurer handling, and structured bicycle accident claims
After a bike accident, the key issues are often evidence, liability, injuries, and the right way to deal with the insurer from the outset.
Typical issues after a bike accident:
- ›Collisions with cars, lorries, e-scooters, or other bicycles
- ›Liability review, including disputed-fault situations
- ›Pain and suffering, treatment costs, and loss of earnings
- ›Bike damage, total loss issues, and related financial losses
- ›Clear legal guidance on the next sensible steps
I review the case personally, handle the insurer communication if needed, and pursue the claim in a structured way.
Important to know: If the other party caused the bike accident, their liability insurer will usually also cover your legal fees.

Frequently asked questions
Is legal help useful after a bike accident?
Yes, especially where liability, injury claims, treatment costs, or insurer reductions are in issue. Even apparently clear cases are often not settled in full.
What should I secure right after the bike accident?
Helpful materials include photos, witness details, police information, medical records, and proof of bike damage or personal injury.
Is this only about accidents involving cars?
No. Collisions with other cyclists, e-scooters, pedestrians, or dooring situations can also raise relevant legal claims and should be reviewed properly.
Do I need to come to Berlin for the initial review?
No. The initial review and further coordination can be handled fully digitally or by phone.

Fast case processing, very friendly contact, would gladly use their services again (not the accident itself, but the handling of the case by Dr. Lerch...)

Mr. Lerch provided me with highly professional, calm, and dedicated support throughout my legal proceedings. I particularly appreciated his honest assessment of my case and the clear communication he maintained throughout the entire process. Thanks to his strategy and preparation, we achieved a significantly better outcome than originally anticipated in the penalty order. I felt well-advised and taken seriously at all times. I can therefore wholeheartedly recommend Mr. Lerch and thank him again for his support. B. Paal
How the review works
Step 1
Describe the accident and its effects
You send the key facts about the accident, injuries, bike damage, and any communication so far.
Step 2
Review liability and records
I review the records, assess liability and heads of loss, and identify any open points.
Step 3
Assess the claim legally
You receive a clear legal assessment of which claims may exist and how they can be pursued sensibly.
Step 4
Structure the enforcement process
If you wish, I then take over the insurer communication and the further enforcement of the claim.
