Bicycle Accident

Common Bicycle Accident Injuries

Turning Vehicles

Drivers who are not attentive may fail to notice bicyclists on the road. Vehicles turning right or left often turn directly into or in front of bicyclists, resulting in serious accidents.

Stop Signs

At intersections, drivers with stop signs often fail to yield to bicyclists with the right of way.

Rear-End Collisions

Even a minor collision from the back can make a cyclist lose control, leading to severe injuries.

Spinal Cord Injuries

If your spinal cord is compressed or stretched due to an impact, it can lead to severe and permanent injuries. These injuries may cause the loss of sensation and movement in certain parts of your body, and in the most serious cases, paralysis can occur. Remember, some injuries may not be immediately apparent, and having a medical record will be beneficial if any issues arise later.

Brain Injuries

Although bicyclists wear helmets, they may still sustain traumatic brain injuries during an accident, resulting in symptoms such as migraines, personality changes, and acute pain.

Amputations

Due to the vulnerability of bicyclists to cars, accidents can result in life-changing injuries and extensive pain. In some cases, amputation of the injured body part may be necessary.

Fractures

Bicyclists are highly vulnerable in crashes and often suffer broken bones such as legs, arms, or ribs.

Testimonials

Steve Boyd is the ONLY attorney I will ever have. For me, he has broken the stereotype/perception of, and for, all attorneys. Compassionate, smart, detail-oriented, problem-solving, and fights for me! I don’t Google review without believing in the person and reading this. Stop surfing and go with his firm. He wins, and he’s worth it. If I could give more than five stars, I would!

Bill A
I was involved and injured in a bad car accident and was very overwhelmed. I didn’t know where to turn. My life was turned upside down as my injuries prevented me from working or providing for my family. When I called and spoke with Steve, he immediately met me. I knew from the moment I met him my case was in excellent hands. He was very professional, knowledgeable, honest, and compassionate to my situation. He definitely made me his top priority, keeping me informed every step of the way. Even when I had some very down days, he would get back to me promptly. He surely lifted heavy burdens by taking care of all the details so I could focus on my surgeries and concentrate on getting my life back together. I am grateful and appreciate everything Steve has done. My case was settled in my favor, and now I was finally able to have closure. Thank you, Steve, for all your hard work and support.

Mr. Boyd and his office staff have always been kind, empathetic and most importantly easy to reach. I have needed representation a couple times over the past 10 years and I have always been greeted with a friendly voice on the other end of the line. Mr. Boyd was able and willing to look out for mine and my families best interest, we will forever appreciate what him and his staff has done for us!

Steve has been extremely professional and very responsive throughout my experience with his firm. I have always appreciated his candor and willingness to share details as the process unfolded. I have already recommended two friends to Steve and absolutely will continue in the future.

Josh in Buffalo
Steve Boyd and his staff members made me feel very supported during my lawsuit. When Steve appointed Leah Costanzo to my case, I could not have been more pleased with her abilities as an attorney. She is knowledgeable, tireless, empathetic, and possesses excellent negotiating skills. I was thrilled with how she handled my case from beginning to end. I would also like to comment that Stefanie Garigal, Sr. Paralegal, was efficient, friendly, and highly competent as well. This office hit it out of the park, and I am forever grateful. KUDOS on a job well done!

Margaret G

Steve and his office are incredible people and advocates. They are experts in the law and operate tirelessly at the highest levels of compassion and integrity. Steve has guided me along a very difficult litigation and he’s always given excellent support and communication. His commitment to justice and first-class service to his clients is unsurpassed. There are not enough superlatives in the English language to express how grateful I am to have Steve as my attorney. He has done so much for me and my family (to help us gain closure), and I am very lucky to have him representing me.

RA Lewiston
After my motorcycle accident, the insurance company was unwilling to properly compensate me for my loss. Steve Boyd fought to get me a fair settlement; I couldn’t be happier with his professionalism or result.

FAQs on Bicycle Accidents

How quickly should I speak to a lawyer after a bicycle accident?

You should speak with a lawyer as soon as you can after a bicycle accident. In an accident with a car, no-fault car insurance pays the medical bills and lost wages, and there’s a deadline to file for no-fault benefits. Call us if you’ve been involved in a bicycle accident and want to learn your rights.

How much can I get from my bicycle accident case?

Every bicycle accident is different, as are the injuries and damages resulting from collisions. There’s no hard-and-fast rule to determine the monetary worth of each case. Compensation for a bicycle accident can include recovery for medical bills, income loss, and pain and suffering. Our free case evaluations can help determine the expected worth of your bicycle accident case.

How much does it cost to hire a bicycle accident lawyer?

You don’t pay any legal fees until we win or settle your bicycle injury case. We review your case for free, and there is no deposit or advance fee required. When a settlement or verdict is reached, then our legal fee is calculated at a percentage (usually one-third) of the total amount awarded. This is called a contingent fee agreement, which is how most personal injury lawyers are paid. Reach out to our team for a free case review.
