Bicycle accidents can have serious consequences for cyclists, who are particularly vulnerable on the road. Unlike motor vehicles, cyclists lack the protective barriers that can shield them from injuries, making them susceptible to severe harm in the event of an accident. Common causes of bicycle accidents include drivers' negligence, such as distracted driving, failing to yield right of way, or speeding. Additionally, poor road conditions, such as potholes, debris, or inadequate bike lanes, can also contribute to accidents.<\/p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

What Should You Do After a Bicycle Accident?<\/strong><\/h3>

The attorneys at Godsey Law Firm strongly recommend you proceed with due caution and care at all times following an accident. No matter the circumstances, accidents are disorienting and unnerving, and the last thing you want to do is say or do something in confusion that limits your ability to recover just compensation.<\/p>

In the immediate aftermath of the accident, your focus should be on yourself and those around you who were involved in the accident. Make sure you are not seriously injured; if you are able, check on others in the accident and summon emergency help as soon as the situation has stabilized. Police will have to be called. Since the accident involved a bicycle, they will need to investigate the circumstances.\u00a0<\/p>

Assuming you are not seriously injured, \u00a0focus on documenting what happened. Taking pictures of the accident scene from numerous angles can help provide important evidence in establishing liability, even if it never reaches a litigation phase. If you feel up to it, get contact info from the other driver, including information about their insurance coverages as well as their name, phone number and email address. Were there any witnesses? Then it would make sense, again within reason, to jot down their names and phone numbers as they may be able to provide important evidence.<\/p>

There are circumstances in which a bicyclist could be considered at fault \u2014 say, perhaps, by making an unexpected or sudden stop or turn. The personal injury attorneys at Godsey Law Firm can also help protect your rights, should you be deemed as partially or wholly liable for the accident. We will work to establish clear documentation to establish the facts.<\/p>

Regardless of issues of fault, you will at some point need to file a claim with the insurance company, either your own or the other driver\u2019s. The attorneys at Godsey Law Firm can help counsel you through this step and put you in the best position to obtain proper compensation.<\/p>
