Common Causes of a Bicycle Accident in Philadelphia

One of the most common causes of bicycle accidents is human error. A motorist makes a mistake or acts recklessly and causes someone a fatal injury. Common reasons for a bicycle accident include:

  • Distracted drivers
  • Failing to obey traffic laws
  • Speeding
  • Driving under the influence
  • Reckless driving
  • Drowsy or fatigued driving

Additionally, other factors could contribute to the cause of a bike accident. Poor weather conditions, hazardous road conditions, defective bicycle parts, or dangerously designed roads and traffic signs can cause a bicycle to crash.

Determining the cause of the bicycle accident is crucial. Only parties responsible for causing the collision can be held liable for the bicyclist’s injuries and damages.

Bicycle Accident Injuries and Damages

When a bicyclist is hit by a motor vehicle, the bicyclist can be thrown from the bicycle or crushed by the vehicle. In either case, the risk of catastrophic injuries is high. A bicyclist hit by an automobile can sustain multiple injuries such as:

The severity of the injuries is a factor in the extent of the damages caused by a bicycle accident. The cost of medical care and lost wages are common financial damages in a claim. However, the bicyclist may sustain other damages.

Financial damages are only one portion of a bicycle accident claim. In addition to the financial losses, non-economic damages are also included in your claim. The bicyclist may receive compensation for the physical, mental, and emotional pain and suffering caused by the accident.

If a bicycle accident results in a disabling condition or permanent impairment, the bicyclist may also receive compensation for the disability. Compensation may include future damages for ongoing medical and personal care, future lost wages, and decreased earning potential.

Our Philadelphia bicycle accident lawyers work with our clients to carefully document all damages caused by a bicycle crash. By carefully documenting damages, we maximize the value of the claim. While a large settlement does not undo the damage caused by the negligence or wrongdoing of another party, it can reimburse a bicyclist for past and future financial losses, as well as ongoing pain and suffering.
