Common Bicycle Accidents:

Car vs. Bicycle: There are many times where bicyclists and cars collide in our roadways. These accidents do not usually end well for the cyclist. Distracted drivers tend to drive directly into the path of a cyclist, or drive to close to a cyclist. Due to their excessive speed, drivers may not be able to break in time, and crash into a cyclist. Even with a helmet and protective clothing, a bicyclist is no match for a car. Both bicyclists and drivers have the same rights and responsibilities on the road. However, bicyclists must know that if they are injured in an accident, it is their legal right to seek compensation for the accident. Our attorneys solely practice personal injury litigation and have settled hundreds of bicycle accident cases to a successful resolution.
