  Bicycle Accidents: Protecting Cyclists’ Rights

  Cyclists face unique risks on the road. Unlike drivers, they lack the protection of a vehicle, making them more vulnerable to serious injuries. Accidents caused by careless drivers, poor road maintenance, or even faulty equipment can result in life-altering consequences, such as broken bones, concussions, or spinal damage.

  What to Do After a Bicycle Accident:

  1. Get medical help immediately: Even if injuries seem minor, some conditions, like internal trauma or concussions, can develop later.

  2. Call the police: Filing an official report creates an important record of the accident.

  3. Document the scene: Use your phone to take photos of your bike, the vehicle involved, the road conditions, and any visible injuries.

  4. Exchange information: Get the driver’s name, contact info, and insurance details. If possible, confirm their information by taking a photo of their ID and insurance card.

  5. Speak to witnesses: Their accounts can be crucial, especially if the driver disputes fault.

  6. Consult Kari Law Group, PLLC: A skilled lawyer will help you navigate insurance claims and fight for your rights.
