Bicyclists Hit by Car

Bicycling is a healthy and fun hobby that can save thousands of dollars in fuel costs.

Unfortunately, being in traffic on a bike can also be dangerous. In vehicular collisions involving bicycles, the cyclist almost invariably sustains the most serious injuries. That’s because they do not have the carcass that protects occupants of passenger vehicles.

In many cases, because of the lack of protection, these injuries are catastrophic or even fatal. Bike riders are exposed to the elements and have little control over the outcome of an accident. And because many of these crashes happen at high speeds, injuries tend to be serious. If you have been injured in a bike accident, or if a member of your family has been hurt or killed on a bike due to the negligence of a motorist, you can bring a lawsuit against the liable party to recover damage.

Skillful Bike Accident Attorney

In bike accidents, a skillful lawyer will be able to explore the various factors of the incident to help determine who or what may have caused or contributed to the crash and thus may be held liable. It is important that riders have this help, especially if they are not sure if their case is worth more than what the insurance company is trying to offer. Some of the parties you can possibly recover damages from in the event of a bicycle accident include:

  • Negligent motorists who could be drivers of cars, buses or trucks
  • Negligent manufacturers of bicycles, bicycle parts or accessories if the accident was caused by a defective product
  • Governmental agencies: The city, county or state agency that maintains the roadways, if the accident was caused because of a dangerous roadway or intersection
  • Negligent repair shops or mechanics
  • Dangerous conditions: If a public or private property is not properly maintained and results in a bicycle accident, then the person who owns or maintains the property could be held liable

Washington Bicycle Laws

Washington law provides a bicycle rider with the same rights and responsibilities as the driver of any other vehicle. That means that a bicycle rider will be found at fault is he or she is not abiding by the rules of the road, which includes obeying DUI laws.

What Our Clients Say

"I would like to thank everyone for their hard work. It is still astonishing how thoroughly the accident changed my life. With your help I am now in close to the same situation as I was before the accident. I truly couldn't have done it without you."
Alan
"We were stopped at a red light, and a gentlemen came off and hit us. I had back surgery in January of 2008 and that alone was a hundred and seven thousand dollars. Bernard Law Group was there with me every step of the way. I feel like The Bernard Law Group helped us fantastically."
Lashalle
"I was in a head on car accident, and the person that hit me had no car insurance. I had uninsured motorist insurance, but my insurance company didn’t return my phone calls, didn’t seem to care, so I called Kirk Bernard. Kirk Bernard got justice for me, he hit a home run."
James
"They took care of everything. I never had to deal with the insurance company again. I just felt really at ease going with someone that I thought would really help us."
Lonnie
"When I got out of the vehicle, I was rear-ended. I had a broken leg, broken in three places, my knee was broken in two places. It was professional all the way through and that was very helpful. If had it to do over again, I would definitely hire the Bernard Law Group."
