Your Next Steps After an Accident

Bicycle accidents are dangerous, resulting in hundreds of deaths nationwide each year—and as the more vulnerable party, bikers typically sustain the majority of the damage. The injuries that result from an accident with a car can cause immediate and persistent medical expenses, lost wages or potential earnings, and other considerable life changes. Costs can accrue quickly, sometimes in ways you wouldn’t expect.

When a driver’s negligence causes an accident, you may be able to hold them liable for damages. Despite “share the road” educational campaigns and the addition of biker-friendly thoroughfares, many drivers ignore safety standards. They may endanger bikers by:

  • Entering traffic without looking
  • Running red lights or stop signs
  • Trapping bicyclists in an intersection
  • Failing to yield to bicyclists when making turns
  • Passing bicyclists in a hazardous manner

These infractions can have dangerous outcomes for bikers, even those who are following the rules and riding defensively. The most common types of injury resulting from car and bicycle accidents are:

  • Lower limb injuries
  • Upper limb injuries
  • Face or neck injuries
  • Head injuries

Of course, there are many kinds of injury a biker may sustain; though bumps and bruises are the most common, fractures, cuts and gashes, and internal injuries within the skull affect a significant percentage of bikers involved in accidents with cars. No matter your situation, it’s a good idea to schedule a free consultation with an attorney after an accident. Our team can help you determine liability and potential damages if a driver’s negligence led to your injuries.
