Bicycle Accident Lawyer

Collisions between bicycles and motor vehicles often result in devastating injuries. Bikes do not provide their riders with any form of impact absorption, which makes these accidents far more dangerous compared to collisions involving only motor vehicles.

If you have been hurt in a bike crash, you are entitled to pursue a personal injury claim against the driver who struck you. If your case is successful, you could recoup damages based on your physical, financial, and emotional losses. Reach out to Axion Law Group today to learn how we can help.

Common Bicycle Accident Injuries

Bicycles offer little in the way of protection for riders in a crash. When a cyclist is struck by a car, they typically absorb the brunt of the impact. What’s more, cyclists can suffer additional injuries when they are thrown to the ground by the force of the collision. The result is often severe or even life-altering injuries. Some examples include the following:

• Broken bones
• Traumatic brain injuries
• Road rash
• Internal bleeding
• Spinal cord injuries
• Burns
• Paralysis
• Amputation

Each of these injuries could come with a significant physical, emotional, and financial cost. Let our firm help you pursue compensation for your losses following a bicycle accident.

Available Compensation Following a Bike Crash

If you were hurt in a bicycle accident through no fault of your own, you have the right to seek damages. Some of the available types of compensation in your case could include:

Medical Expenses

Medical bills can quickly add up after a bike crash. These damages may cover treatments like hospital stays, surgeries, and physical therapy. You might also be entitled to damages based on your future medical needs, as well.

Lost Income

If injuries prevent you from working, you may be entitled to recover lost wages for the time you missed. In more serious cases, compensation can also reflect reduced earning potential if permanent disabilities limit your ability to continue in your profession.

Property Damage

Bicycles, helmets, and other cycling gear are often destroyed in collisions. Depending on the cost of repairing these items, you could be entitled to compensation for repair or replacement.

Pain and Suffering

Victims of bicycle accidents also frequently endure intense physical pain, emotional trauma, and diminished quality of life. While it may not be possible to measure these losses objectively, that does not mean you can’t recover damages based on your pain.
