Bicycle Claims

Negligent drivers can cause bicycle accidents in various ways, including encroaching into the bike lane, making a right turn in front of a cyclist, pulling out from a side road, alley, or driveway without looking, and opening a car door in front of a cyclist. These can all result in serious injury or death.

Bicycle accident litigation involves specialized issues that require specific experience and expertise; for example, liability may turn on questions of accident reconstruction, roadway design, or bike design. In many cases, expert testimony is required to establish liability.
