BICYCLE ACCIDENTS

Bicycles are an eco-friendly, health-conscious alternative to driving. Sadly, however, when bicycles and motor vehicles collide, the bicyclist tends to suffer severe injuries. Such accidents are very common, especially when there is a lack of bike lanes or a driver stubbornly refuses to share the road.

No two claims are the same, but many bicycle accident victims suffer similar losses. For instance, many bicyclists sustain road rash, head/brain trauma, spine injuries, or bone fractures, all of which require time off work and extensive medical treatment. Fortunately, the law gives you the right to seek compensation for all damages caused by the accident.

Some of the most common damages for which bicycle accident victims are compensated include:

• Hospital and medical bills
• Scarring and disfigurement
• Lost wages and benefits
• Pain and suffering
• Emotional distress
• Mental anguish
• Loss of quality/enjoyment of life

At Klenofsky & Steward, LLC, we are known for getting our clients their maximum compensation. We encourage you to contact a Denver bicycle accident attorney for an initial evaluation of your case.

The bicyclist will not typically be considered at fault for an accident, unless they were acting negligently or recklessly. If you were following the law, it is likely that the driver who struck you will be considered liable for the crash, not you. Still, you will need to prove negligence on their part to recover compensation.

Injured bicyclists may have a strong case if the other party’s negligence, such as the following, led to the accident:

• Driving while distracted, such as texting and driving
• Driving under the influence
• Attempting to pass a bicyclist illegally
• Refusing to share the road with others
• Refusing to yield the right of way to a bicyclist
• Changing lanes or turning without checking for bicyclists
