Most often, bicycle accidents are caused by car or truck drivers who do not see bicyclists. When changing lanes, entering a roadway from a parking lot or adjacent road or turning right on red, drivers must watch out for bicyclists and avoid collisions. Our law firm has experience in representing injured bicyclists in a variety of circumstances and can provide you legal advice on the best course of action when you have been seriously injured in a collision or bicycle accident.
Bicycle Accidents Caused By Defective Equipment
One of the main causes of bicycle accidents is defective equipment. When a bike's brakes fail, for example, a rider can find it difficult to slow down and might crash into stationary objects. There are several essential components of a bicycle that can cause accidents, including:
- Cracked forks
- Defective chains
- Defective gears
- Defective rims or spokes
If you have been injured in an accident caused by a defective bicycle, it is important that you consult with a law firm that understands product liability claims and has the experience to understand how the product failed. By consulting with industry experts and engineers, our firm can help you pin-point the reason for the failure of the product. It is important to hold the liable parties responsible for your injuries. We can help ensure you recover the full and fair monetary compensation.
Accidents Caused By Dangerous Road Conditions
More than cars or motorcycles, bicycles are susceptible to dangerous road conditions. Bicyclists can lose control riding over wet surfaces, broken or uneven pavement, loose gravel, on unsafe bridge decks, or construction sites. One of the most common places that accidents occur is on a bridge. If a bridge is not designed properly, a bike's tires can get caught in the grid-work or grates on the surface.
