Common Causes of Bicycle Accidents

Bicycle crashes happen every day because drivers do not pay attention. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), in 2024, 1,103 bicyclists were killed, and an estimated 52,887 were injured in traffic crashes.

Our bike accident lawyers see many common causes for these terrible accidents, including:

  • Distracted Driving: When drivers look at their cell phones instead of the road, they fail to see cyclists.
  • Failing to Yield: Drivers frequently run stop signs, ignore red lights, or turn directly into the path of a person riding a bicycle.
  • Dooring: This happens when a driver parked on the side of the street opens their car door right as a cyclist is passing by. The cyclist crashes into the door, often causing severe harm.
  • Unsafe Passing: Many states require drivers to give cyclists at least 3 feet of space when passing. When drivers pass too closely, they can easily strike the cyclist or run them off the road.
  • Drunk Driving: People who choose to drink and drive have slow reaction times and poor judgment.

Injuries You Can Get from a Bike Accident

When a car hits a person on a bicycle, the human body takes all the damage. We help clients who have suffered very serious, life-changing harm that requires emergency room visits, surgeries, and long-term care.

Our bicycle accident attorneys handle catastrophic injury claims, including:

Whether you were hit by a car while on your bike, or if you were involved in pedestrian accidents or an electric scooter crash, our team is equipped to fight for you.

Damages Available in Bicycle Accident Lawsuits

When you are hurt because of someone else's reckless choices, the law says they should pay for the damage they caused. The insurance company will try to avoid paying you what you deserve. You need an aggressive bike accident attorney to force them to write the settlement check you need to pay for the losses this accident caused you and your family.

We fight to get you money for:

  • Medical Bills: We demand compensation for your past and future medical care. This covers ambulance rides, surgeries, hospital stays, physical therapy, and prescription medications.
  • Lost Wages: If your injuries stop you from going to work, you are missing out on vital paychecks. If you can never work again, we fight for your future lost income.
  • Pain and Suffering: You deserve financial justice for the physical pain, trauma, and emotional stress this crash has caused you.
  • Wrongful Death Damages: If you lost a loved one in a tragic bicycle crash, we can help you recover money for funeral costs, lost financial support, and the severe emotional loss your family has suffered.

FAQ for Our Bicycle Accident Lawyers

What should I do right after I get hit by a car on my bike?

  • Call 911 immediately to get medical attention.
  • If possible, get the driver's name, phone number, and insurance information.
  • Take photos of your bike, the car, and any visible injuries.
  • Do not speak to the driver's insurance company.
  • Call our law firm and let us handle them for you.

What if the driver who hit me drove away?

Hit-and-run crashes are terrifying, but you still have options. Our investigators work hard to find video footage and witnesses to track down the driver. Even if the driver is never caught, you might be able to get money from your own car insurance policy if you have uninsured motorist coverage. We can review your insurance policy for free and tell you your options.

How long do I have to file a lawsuit?

Depending on what state your accident was in, you only have a certain amount of months to file a lawsuit:

  • Missouri: 5 years
  • Kansas: 2 years
  • Oklahoma: 2 years
  • Illinois: 2 years
  • Colorado: 2 years
  • Nebraska: 4 years
