Common Injuries After a Bicycle Accident

Cycling is a healthy and enjoyable activity, but sharing the road with motor vehicles can be dangerous—even for the most cautious riders. When accidents occur, bicyclists are especially vulnerable to serious and sometimes life-altering injuries, including:

Spinal cord injuries
Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)
Crush injuries and amputations
Soft tissue damage
Broken bones
Internal trauma
Road rash and abrasions
Facial injuries
Psychological trauma, including emotional distress and mental anguish

If you’re involved in a bicycle accident, it’s critical to seek medical attention right away—even if your injuries seem minor at first. Then, reach out to a knowledgeable bicycle accident attorney who can help you explore your legal options and fight for the compensation you deserve.

What Causes Bicycle Accidents?

Bicycle accidents can happen for many reasons—often due to driver negligence or unsafe road conditions. Common causes include:

Motor Vehicle Collisions: Drivers who fail to notice cyclists when turning, merging, or changing lanes often cause serious crashes.
Distracted Driving: Texting, using a GPS, or other distractions can prevent drivers from seeing nearby cyclists.
Failure to Yield: Accidents occur when drivers don’t yield to cyclists at intersections or during lane changes.
Dooring Incidents: Cyclists can be seriously hurt when a driver or passenger opens a car door directly into their path.
Poor Road Conditions: Potholes, debris, or missing bike lanes make riding hazardous and increase the chance of crashes.
Aggressive Driving: Tailgating, brake-checking, or unsafe passing puts cyclists at serious risk.
Impaired Driving: Alcohol or drug use impairs a driver’s awareness and reaction time, making bicycle collisions more likely.
Lack of Driver Awareness: Some drivers simply don’t understand how to share the road safely with cyclists—leading to preventable accidents.

If you’ve been injured in a bicycle accident, it’s important to consult with a knowledgeable personal injury attorney who can explain your legal rights and help you pursue the compensation you deserve.

Loss of Consortium: If your injuries affect your relationship with a spouse or partner, you may be eligible for compensation.
Loss of Enjoyment of Life: Recovery for the diminished ability to enjoy hobbies, activities, or daily routines you once valued.
