Overview

Bicycle riders share roads with drivers who may fail to respect bike lanes or safe passing distance. Dooring and right-hook crashes are frequent in urban areas.

Why This Practice Area Matters

We document helmet use, lane position, and lighting. Insurance may involve the driver’s BI coverage and your own health or UM coverage depending on facts.

Common Causes

  • Unsafe passing or buzzed riders
  • Dooring from parked cars
  • Right-hook turns across bike lanes
  • Driving while distracted
  • Driving under the influence
  • Poor road maintenance

Compensation You May Recover

  • Medical bills and dental reconstruction
  • Lost wages
  • Pain and suffering
  • Bike replacement
  • Future treatment

Case Guide

We evaluate municipal striping, signage, and whether a defect claim against a property owner or city is viable (notice and immunity issues may apply).

Who This Is For

Commuters, recreational riders, and competitive cyclists injured by negligent motorists or hazardous road conditions.

What To Expect In The Process

  1. Preserve bike and GPS data if available
  2. Photograph lane markings
  3. Correlate injuries with impact mechanics
  4. Open applicable insurance claims

Estimated timeline: 6–18 months for many cases; longer with surgery.

Evidence Checklist

  • Bike damage photos
  • Strava or ride data exports
  • Medical records
  • Witness statements

Mistakes To Avoid

  • Discarding damaged helmet or bike before documentation

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I sue if a pothole caused my crash?

Maybe, but claims against governments often have special notice and immunity hurdles. Private property defects may create a different path—ask counsel quickly.

Does my auto insurance help if I was on a bike?

Sometimes UM/UIM or MedPay from an auto policy may apply depending on wording and whether you owned a qualifying policy. Coverage analysis is fact-specific.
