Common Causes of Bike Accidents

Collisions between motor vehicles and bicycles are the most prevalent type of bike accidents, often resulting in severe injuries for cyclists. There are numerous factors that can contribute to a vehicle striking a cyclist, including:

  • Following too closely behind a bicycle
  • Failing to yield or check blind spots
  • Adverse weather conditions
  • Speeding
  • Driving under the influence
  • Reckless or distracted driving

 

Bicycle accidents can also be caused by poor road conditions or defective bike parts. Our experienced bicycle accident attorneys in Memphis can thoroughly investigate the cause of the accident and help you pursue fair compensation from the responsible party.

Compensation Available for Injured Cyclists

Passenger vehicle drivers are obligated to operate their cars safely and adhere to all traffic and safety regulations. If a driver injures a bicyclist due to their failure to comply with these laws, a court of law may hold them accountable for the damages. In cases where a negligent driver is found responsible for the injuries, they may be liable for the injured cyclist’s lost income, medical expenses, reduced earning capacity, and non-economic damages such as pain and suffering.
