Bicycle Accidents. Bicycle Accident Injury Attorneys in Cleveland

30+ Years of Experience To Support Your Case

Were you injured in a damaging bicycle accident? Unfortunately, bicycle accidents occur throughout the United States every day, and all too often, they cause substantial, if not light-threatening, injuries. Although the cause of these incidents may vary, bicycle crashes often come down to one common denominator: motor vehicles.

If a driver is reckless or negligent, their irresponsible actions could have severe consequences. For example, a drunk driver might strike a pedestrian cyclist, or a reckless driver may fail to check the bike lane before turning, effectively cutting of nearby bike-riders. If you were wrongfully injured because of someone else’s mistake, you have every right to take action to seek maximum compensation and justice.

Bicycle Laws & Your Rights

Depending on the nature of your accident, the vehicle driver may be liable for your injuries. In most cases, the bicyclist has the right of way. Bicyclists are more similar to pedestrians than drivers, legally, and therefore they often have the advantage in any issue involving driving/riding rights. However, because each case is unique, it is important to work with an attorney who has ample experience in these types of cases, who is familiar with state bicycle laws and can represent your interests in and out of court. If you have a case, our Cleveland bicycle accident attorneys are here to help.

Bicycle Accident Injuries

Bicycle accidents can be severely damaging, especially if they involve other vehicles. Cars, vans, buses, and trucks are far larger and heavier than bicycles, which makes them absolute bulldozers in a cyclist-vehicle crash. For that reason, cyclist injuries are often catastrophic or deadly.

Common bicycle accident injuries include:

• Broken bones
• Bone fractures
• Traumatic brain injury
• Spinal damage
• Paralysis
• Road rash
• Internal damage
