Boston Bicycle Accident Attorney

Aggressive Motor Vehicle Accident Lawyer

Bicycle accidents may occur because of negligence on the part of a motorist that is sharing the road with a cyclist. Many drivers are unaware of the particular traffic laws that pertain to bicycle riders and therefore may not properly yield the right of way and cause an accident. A distracted driver can also cause a serious bicycle accident simply because he or she does not see the cyclist and therefore drives directly into the bicycle’s path.

We offer a free injury evaluation to discuss the circumstances of your accident and determine what we can do to help.

Bicycle Accident Injuries and Causes

According to statistics compiled by the NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration), 698 cyclists were killed in traffic crashes in 2007. An additional 44,000 were injured in traffic collisions throughout the U.S. There were 10 cyclist fatalities in Massachusetts in 2007, but countless more injuries.

A bicycle accident can easily cause serious or life-threatening injuries. A motor vehicle may weigh in excess of 3,000 pounds, and a bicycle offers a rider no protection against a collision. Even a bicycle helmet may do little in a serious accident, and a cyclist may be left with serious head trauma, brain injury, spinal cord injury, broken bones, lacerations, and internal injuries.

A bicycle accident claim may not involve collecting compensation only from the motorist who caused the accident. What if faulty bicycle safety equipment led to your injuries or if your bicycle had a design or manufacturing defect that caused the accident? Boston bike accident lawyer Brian Bagby can thoroughly evaluate your particular accident and injuries to determine all avenues to explore in obtaining maximum compensation on your behalf.
