Bicycle Accidents

The Basics

Bicycle Accidents

Bicycle accidents can occur in various ways. Some of the most serious injuries occur when a bicyclist is struck by a vehicle. Even with helmets and protective gear, victims of bicycle accidents are often left with severe injuries and mounting medical bills.

Too often, vehicle drivers are distracted by phones, food, or music, and they don’t see a bicyclist until it’s too late. At Paynter Law, we understand that vehicles have a duty to share the road with cyclists, and we know that bicycle/auto wrecks can occur even when cyclists take all the necessary precautions.

The injuries sustained by a cyclist in a bicycle vs. automobile collision may include breaks and fractures, scrapes and road rash, spinal injuries, traumatic brain injuries, and even death. The bicycle accident lawyers at Paynter Law have experience handling these cases and know that bicycle cases are unique. If you were injured by an automobile while riding your bicycle, you may be entitled to recover for damages including:

• Pain and suffering
• Permanent injuries
• Scarring
• Lost wages
• Medical expenses
• Property damages
• And more
