UNSAFE ROAD CONDITIONS

BICYCLE ACCIDENTS CAUSED BY UNSAFE ROAD CONDITIONS

Put Our Bicycle Accident Attorneys on Your Side

Cyclists who frequently ride same routes in their community know that certain areas tend to have poorly maintained roads. However, even places that usually have better roads and paths can be hazardous when unsafe conditions are present. In fact, these areas can actually prove more dangerous to cyclists who are not on the lookout for hazards and poor conditions.


If you were involved in a bike accident—whether a single-cyclist, multiple-cyclist, or cyclist-auto accident—and you believe that unsafe road conditions played a role in the crash, you may be entitled to financial compensation. Our bicycle accident attorneys can help you navigate the legal process, negotiate with insurance companies and other liable parties on your behalf, and help you seek the maximum compensation you are owed for your damages.

Examples of Dangerous Road Conditions for Cyclists

Some of the most common examples of dangerous road conditions that are hazardous to cyclists include:

  • Potholes
  • Trash/debris on the road
  • Unfinished shoulders
  • Poor drainage, leading to puddles
  • Broken/malfunctioning traffic signals
  • Unclear lane markings
  • Signage, poles, trees, and vegetation too close to the roadway
  • Parallel cracks
  • Uneven pavement/asphalt
  • Graveled shoulders
  • Unclear signage
  • Hazardous construction areas
  • Lack of bike lane

Please note that this list is not exhaustive; there are numerous other types of unsafe road conditions, including poor weather, that can lead to bicycle accidents. It is important that you always follow safe riding practices when navigating hazardous areas.

Who Is Liable for Unsafe Road Conditions?

In many cases, unsafe road conditions can be traced back to negligence on the part of the city or municipality responsible for maintaining the area’s roads and trails. Proving liability in bike accident claims involving unsafe road conditions can be very tricky. It is absolutely crucial to the outcome of your case that you work with a qualified attorney who is experienced in these types of claims.
