Why Bicycle Accident Cases Require Serious Representation
Drivers Often Fail to Yield
Many bicycle crashes happen because drivers turn, merge, or open doors without seeing the cyclist.
Insurance Companies Minimize Claims
Insurers may try to blame the cyclist or downplay injuries. Strong legal representation helps protect your claim.
Common Causes of Bicycle Accidents
Failure to Yield
Drivers turning across traffic or entering intersections without yielding to cyclists.
Unsafe Lane Changes
Drivers merging into bike lanes or changing lanes without checking for bicycles.
Dooring Accidents
Parked drivers opening doors directly into the path of a cyclist.
Distracted Driving
Texting, phone use, or other distractions that prevent drivers from seeing cyclists.
