Cyclists share the road with vehicles that offer them no margin for error. A moment of driver carelessness can cause fractures, head injuries and long recoveries. Our bicycle accident attorneys represent cyclists of all kinds — commuters, recreational riders and delivery workers.
Common Causes of Bicycle Accidents
- Drivers turning across a bike lane ("right hook" and "left cross" crashes)
- Car doors opened into a cyclist's path
- Unsafe passing and failure to give cyclists adequate space
- Distracted driving
- Potholes, debris and poorly maintained bike lanes
How We Can Help
We investigate the crash, identify every responsible party — including government entities when road defects play a role, which can involve short notice deadlines — and pursue compensation for medical treatment, lost income, damaged equipment and pain and suffering.
