Car vs Bike Crash?  We’re here to help you.

If you or someone you know has been involved in a car vs bike accident, we are committed to helping you with all aspects of your recovery, including PT/rehabilitation and bike fitting services.

Some key information to know:

Always report the accident, even if there isn’t any immediate symptoms or apparent damage.

Oftentimes, symptoms appear within 1-2weeks following your accident, and as long as a claim has been filed, you are entitled to reimbursement for medical expenses at no cost to you, as part of your Oregon Personal Injury Protection (“PIP coverage”)- Read on!

What is Oregon Personal Injury Protection (PIP) Insurance? 

All Oregon non-commercial auto insurance policies have a no-fault Personal Injury Protection (PIP) healthcare (and wage loss) coverage. So, if you are injured in an auto, bicycle, or pedestrian accident, the auto insurance provides a minimum of one year and $15,000 in no-fault medical coverage.
