Common Causes of Bicycle Accidents
Bicycle accidents can happen in various ways, often due to the negligence or recklessness of others. Common causes include:
- Driver Negligence: Distracted driving, speeding, failure to yield, or running stop signs.
- Dooring Accidents: Drivers or passengers opening car doors into a bicyclist’s path.
- Unsafe Road Conditions: Potholes, debris, or poor road maintenance.
- Impaired Driving: Drivers under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
- Defective Bicycle Equipment: Faulty brakes, tires, or other components leading to accidents.
If your accident was caused by another party’s negligence, you might be entitled to compensation for your injuries and losses.
Common Injuries Sustained in Bicycle Accidents
Bicyclists often have little protection in the event of a collision, which can lead to severe injuries, such as:
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
- Broken bones and fractures
- Lacerations and road rash
- Internal injuries and organ damage
- Facial injuries, including dental damage
- Soft tissue injuries
No matter the severity of your injury, our attorneys will work to ensure all your medical expenses, lost income, and other damages are fully accounted for in your claim.
