Bicycle Accident Lawyer

If you have been injured in a bicycle accident, you may be facing medical bills, lost income, bicycle damage, and a difficult recovery. Our personal injury team helps injured cyclists understand their legal options and pursue the compensation they may be entitled to.

Bicycle Accidents Can Cause Serious Injuries

Bicyclists have limited physical protection when involved in a collision with a motor vehicle. Even when a cyclist follows traffic laws, a crash can result in serious or life-changing injuries.

A bicycle accident may lead to emergency treatment, surgery, rehabilitation, time away from work, and long-term physical or emotional challenges.

If another person’s negligence caused or contributed to your accident, you may have a personal injury claim. Our role is to investigate what happened, identify potentially responsible parties, document your losses, and pursue the compensation available under applicable law.

Bicycle Accident Injuries We Handle

Bicycle crashes can result in a wide range of injuries, including:

Traumatic brain injuries

Spinal cord injuries

Broken bones and fractures

Road rash and severe skin injuries

Shoulder and joint injuries

Internal injuries

Neck and back injuries and Nerve damage

Facial injuries

Amputations

Permanent disabilities and Fatal injuries

The long-term impact of an injury should be considered when evaluating a claim, not only the immediate medical expenses.

What Can Cause a Bicycle Accident?

Bicycle accidents can happen for many reasons, including:

  • Distracted driving
  • Failure to yield to cyclists
  • Unsafe lane changes
  • Speeding
  • Following too closely
  • Opening a vehicle door into a cyclist’s path
  • Running red lights or stop signs
  • Driving under the influence
  • Dangerous road conditions
  • Poorly maintained bicycle lanes
  • Defective bicycle parts or equipment
  • Reckless driving

Determining the cause of the accident can be important when establishing liability and identifying potentially responsible parties.
