Common Causes of Bicycle Accidents

Determining Fault to Strengthen Your Case

Bicycle accidents can occur for various reasons, often due to the negligence of drivers, poor road conditions, or defective bicycle parts. We investigate the circumstances of your accident to determine who is at fault and build a strong case for compensation.

Distracted Drivers: Drivers texting, eating, or not paying attention can cause devastating accidents.
Failure to Yield: Many accidents occur when drivers fail to yield the right of way to bicyclists at intersections or crosswalks.
Dooring Accidents: Cyclists can be seriously injured when car doors are suddenly opened into their path without warning.
Speeding: Drivers traveling at high speeds may not have time to react to bicyclists, leading to severe collisions.
Impaired Driving: Drivers under the influence of alcohol or drugs pose a significant risk to cyclists on the road.
Road Hazards: Potholes, debris, and poorly maintained roads can contribute to bicycle accidents.

Bicycle Accident FAQs

Answers to Your Most Common Questions

We know that bicycle accident victims often have many questions about the legal process and what to expect when filing a claim. Here are some of the most common questions we receive:

How long do I have to file a bicycle accident claim?

The time limit to file a bicycle accident claim, known as the statute of limitations, varies by state, but it’s typically between 2-3 years from the date of the accident.

What evidence is needed for a bicycle accident case?

Important evidence includes police reports, medical records, witness statements, photos of the accident scene, and any available video footage to help prove fault.

Can I file a claim if I was partially at fault for the bicycle accident?

Yes, many states follow comparative negligence rules, meaning you may still be entitled to compensation even if you were partially at fault, though your award may be reduced by your percentage of fault.

What compensation can I receive for a bicycle accident injury?

Compensation may cover medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, property damage, and rehabilitation costs if you’ve been injured in a bicycle accident.

Do I need an attorney for a bicycle accident claim?

While you can handle minor claims on your own, having an attorney can significantly improve your chances of receiving fair compensation, especially in cases involving severe injuries or disputes over fault.
