Common Causes of Bicycle Accidents
Bicycle accidents can occur in many different ways. Some of the most common causes of bicycle accidents include:
- An automobile driver’s negligence leading to a collision between a motor vehicle and a bicycle
- A defective bicycle or defective bicycle equipment
- Unsafe road conditions
Types of Bicycle Accident Injuries
Cyclists can suffer severe injuries if they’re involved in a bicycle accident. A few of the most common bicycle accident injuries include the following:
- Broken bones
- Spinal cord damage
- Traumatic brain injury
- Lacerations
- Soft tissue damage
These injuries can have a devastating impact on your life. Even with medical treatment, you may suffer long-term disabilities that affect your ability to work and enjoy life. In some cases, you may never fully recover. You may also need costly lifelong medical care.
Who Is Responsible for a Bicycle Accident?
The party responsible for a bicycle accident will depend on the circumstances of the incident. If you were hit by a car, truck, or other motor vehicle, then the driver of the vehicle is almost always liable for your injuries. The same is true if you were hit by a car while you were walking with your bicycle. In other cases, the party at fault for a bicycle accident may be the manufacturer of a defective product, the municipality responsible for a poorly designed road, or the person or entity responsible for a dangerous condition that was present on public property.
Our Cleveland bicycle accident lawyers can help you determine who is liable for your injuries and losses. In many cases, multiple parties may be responsible for causing an accident. This is particularly true when defective products are involved in a bicycle accident.
What Can I Recover if I Suffer an Injury in a Bicycle Accident Because of Another Person or Entity’s Negligence?
The damages you can recover in a bicycle accident will depend on the circumstances of your case. Generally, you may be entitled to compensation for:
- Medical expenses
- Lost wages
- Pain and suffering
- Property damage
Depending on the severity of your injuries, your medical expenses may be very high. You may also be unable to work for weeks or months, which can mean a loss of income. You may also be unable to engage in recreational activities with your children or other family members.
Our Cleveland bicycle accident attorneys can help you hold negligent parties accountable for your losses. We can also help you recover the compensation you need to get your life back on track.
