Bicyclists are among the most vulnerable users of the road. Despite wearing helmets and obeying traffic laws, cyclists are often seriously injured due to negligent drivers, unsafe road conditions, or lack of bike-friendly infrastructure.

At FGH Law Group, we fight for injured cyclists who’ve been struck, sideswiped, or forced into dangerous situations. We understand the unique challenges of bicycle injury claims and help clients recover compensation for their physical, financial, and emotional losses.

Common Causes of Bicycle Accidents

Many bicycle accidents could have been prevented if drivers, municipalities, or businesses had acted responsibly. Common causes include:

Distracted Driving: Motorists texting, eating, or otherwise inattentive to cyclists sharing the road.
Failure to Yield or Unsafe Turns: Especially at intersections where drivers ignore bike lanes or misjudge distance.
Dooring Accidents: When a parked driver opens a car door into the cyclist’s path.
Speeding or Aggressive Driving: Drivers following too closely or attempting to overtake unsafely.
Hazardous Road Conditions: Potholes, debris, unmarked construction zones, or lack of proper bike lanes.
Impaired Driving: Alcohol or drug use leading to reckless or delayed reactions.
Right Hook/Left Cross Accidents: Where a vehicle turns across the path of a cyclist with little or no warning.

Our Attorneys advocate for injured cyclists, providing dedicated legal support from accident reconstruction to recovering compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

Injuries Common in Bicycle Accidents

Because cyclists lack the protection of a vehicle frame, even a minor crash can lead to significant injuries:

Broken bones, especially wrists, collarbones, and ribs
Concussions and traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)
Road Rash and deep lacerations requiring skin grafts
Spinal cord injuries or paralysis
Internal bleeding or organ damage
Dental or facial trauma
Permanent disability or chronic pain
Psychological trauma and PTSD from the incident

Who Can Be Held Liable?

In a bicycle accident case, one or more parties may be legally responsible for your injuries:

Negligent Drivers: For unsafe driving, failing to yield, or distracted behavior
Commercial Drivers or Delivery Services: When working drivers cause harm while on duty
Property Owners or Municipalities: If hazardous road conditions or poor signage contributed to the crash
Vehicle Owners: If they allowed an unsafe driver to operate their car
Manufacturers: In cases of defective bike parts or safety gear

What Compensation Can Cyclists Recover?

You may be entitled to significant compensation if you were injured while riding your bike due to someone else’s negligence. Damages may include:

Emergency room and hospitalization costs
Physical therapy and long-term care
Surgery and rehabilitation expenses
Lost income and reduced earning potential
Pain and suffering
Bike repair or replacement
Emotional trauma and diminished quality of life
