CYCLING ACCIDENTS

BIKE LEGAL HAS YOUR BACK

Bicycle crashes are difficult for victims and their loved ones. If you’ve suffered an injury while riding your bike, you may be facing surgery and massive medical bills that you can’t afford to pay out-of-pocket. The police may even have made a decision that you are at fault and you may not even realize you have rights as a cyclist.

After an accident, the biggest goal for cyclists is to get back on their bikes and start riding again. We can help! Whether you’ve been hit by a carelessly opened door, launched into the air when your tire slipped into an unsafe grate, knocked off your bike because a vehicle hit you, it is important you know your rights, including the right to receive legal representation from a true cycling injury law firm. At Bike Legal, we pride ourselves on understanding every aspect of cycling injury cases. We strive to help you the compensation you deserve so you can get back to what you love doing—riding.

Even if you equip yourself with safety gear and practice all the necessary precautions, bicycle accidents can and do still happen. During such a traumatic moment, you might find yourself completely disoriented and at a loss for what to do.

• Take stock
• Call 911 and request that a police officer and paramedics be dispatched to the scene of the crash
