Bicycle Accidents Attorney

While riding a bicycle is convenient for busy cities, good for the environment and considered as a great form of regular exercise, accidents can occur at any time.  The frequency of bicycle accidents varies by location and other factors, but it is important for both cyclists and drivers to be aware of their surroundings and follow traffic laws to prevent accidents.

Understanding what has occurred and the necessary steps you must take can be a great source of confusion as well. With a personal injury attorney by your side, you can consider your options, understand the crucial steps you must take, and recover the damages you may qualify for.

There are many factors that can contribute to bicycle accidents, but some of the most common causes include:

  1. Vehicle Collisions: One of the most common causes of bicycle accidents is collisions with motor vehicles. Drivers may not see cyclists or may not give them enough space on the road.
  2. Road Conditions: Poor road conditions such as potholes, debris, or uneven surfaces can cause cyclists to lose control and crash.
  3. Cyclist Error: Cyclists may also be at fault for accidents if they fail to follow traffic laws, ride in the wrong direction, or ride while distracted.
  4. Doorings: When a driver or passenger opens a car door into the path of an oncoming cyclist, it can cause a serious accident.
  5. Riding Under the Influence: Just like driving under the influence, riding a bicycle while impaired can lead to accidents and injuries.
  6. Weather Conditions: Rain, snow, and other weather conditions can make cycling more dangerous and increase the risk of accidents.
  7. Poor Visibility: Lack of visibility due to darkness or low light conditions can make it difficult for drivers to see cyclists on the road.

By retaining a personal injury attorney, you can maximize your chances of recovering proper compensation and damages for your bicycle accident claim and injuries. Contact Apex Attorneys now for a FREE consultation and let one of our incredible personal injury attorneys help with your case.

What to Do After a Bicycle Accident

If you are involved in a bicycle accident, there are several steps you should take:

  1. Seek Medical Attention: The first and most important step after a bicycle accident is to seek medical attention, even if you feel fine. Some injuries may not be immediately apparent and could worsen over time.
  2. Contact the Authorities: Call the police and report the accident. They will create an official report that can be used in your insurance claim or legal case.
  3. Exchange Information: Exchange contact and insurance information with any drivers involved in the accident, as well as any witnesses.
  4. Document the Scene: Take photos of the accident scene, including any damage to your bicycle and any injuries you sustained.
  5. Notify Your Insurance Company: Contact your insurance company and report the accident as soon as possible.
  6. Contact Apex Attorneys: If you were injured or the accident was not your fault, consider consulting with our personal injury attorneys to protect your rights and seek compensation for damages.
  7. Follow Up with Medical Treatment: Follow up with any recommended medical treatment, including physical therapy or rehabilitation, to ensure a full recovery.

If the accident was caused by negligence from the other party, there are laws in place to help you hold them accountable and protect your rights. Call Apex Attorneys now for a FREE consultation.
