Bicyclists Are Especially Vulnerable
Many people like to ride bikes for recreation, exercise, or to reduce their carbon footprint. Whatever reason you have chosen to take part in this healthy and fun activity, you need to know both your rights and obligations as a bicycle rider. A rider is responsible for following the rules of the road, including obeying all traffic signals. A rider can also expect other riders and motorists to do the same rather than engaging in reckless or negligent acts, which can include:
- Speeding
- Disregarding stop signs or traffic lights
- Driving while intoxicated
- Impeding a bicyclist’s right to ride in a bike lane by drifting or swerving into that lane
If you have been struck by a car while riding a bicycle, the injuries are likely very serious. Even when a cyclist takes all precautions, such as wearing a helmet and other protective gear, those precautions can prove to be no match for a large vehicle traveling at a high rate of speed. For help analyzing your case and pursuing compensation from a negligent driver, contact our Hoboken office. We can examine how the accident happened, assess liability, and pursue damages from the responsible party.
Bicycle accident injuries can be serious and life-changing. Call a bicycle accident attorney to help you recover the reimbursement you deserve.
How Can I Pursue Compensation For A Bicycle Accident?
Pursuing financial compensation for injuries resulting from another party's negligence first requires the victim to prove liability. When a car strikes a bicyclist, the victim is allowed to demand payment from the negligent driver’s insurance carrier. To do this, the cyclist must prove the driver was at fault, and this is achieved by investigating whether the driver followed those rules. Our attorneys have practiced law for a combined total of over 60 years. They have the knowledge and resources needed in order to gather pertinent facts and prove who is responsible for your losses.
