Don’t fret about the various tasks involved in filing a legal claim. Our personal injury lawyers can deal with the various legal processes involved in a claim or a lawsuit.

Driver Negligence Can Cause Bicycle Accidents

Whenever a bicycle and vehicle collide, it can cause severe, life-threatening injuries. The causes of the collision may vary, and different parties may be liable. When driver error is involved, you can hold a motorist accountable for their negligence, which may include:

  • Not yielding the right-of-way: If a motor vehicle does not follow the proper yielding rules of the road, it can bring about dire consequences.
  • Not paying attention while driving: Any time a person doesn’t pay attention when they are driving, it brings dangerous conditions to the road. Not paying attention can include looking at a phone, talking on the phone, or anything that takes your eyes off the road.
  • Bad weather: If the weather is bad, the roads may become wet, icy, or slippery. Or you may deal with reduced visibility. All of these situations can cause problems with driving and lead to accidents.
  • Driving too fast: Speeding results in serious injuries if an accident occurs because of the stronger impact the vehicle makes due to speed.
  • Low visibility: If the sun is going down, you and other drivers won’t be able to see as well, making accidents more likely.
  • Impaired driving: Driving while under the influence of alcohol or drugs is extremely dangerous. Even certain prescription drugs can impair a person’s driving ability. In some cases, a driver will be held responsible if the person consumed alcohol or drugs and operated a vehicle.

Bicycle Injuries Can Be Severe and Costly

Any type of injury can occur when riding a bicycle. But since you are closer to the ground and not protected by metal around you, the injuries can be more serious. You could get thrown from the bike and land a distance away. Some injuries you may get from a bicycle accident include:

  • Traumatic brain injury and other head injuries
  • Broken bones
  • Facial or dental injuries
  • Concussion
  • Neck displacement
  • Paralysis
  • Spinal cord damage
  • Cuts, scrapes, and lacerations

Statute of Limitations in Bicycle Accident Cases
