You Can Sustain Serious Injuries In A Bicycle Accident
Riding a bicycle is pleasurable for so many reasons — it’s fun, you get great exercise, you can commute to work in an environmentally-friendly way and it’s a health-conscious method for sightseeing. As most bicyclists are aware, riding a bike also comes with many dangers — inattentive drivers, distracted drivers and negligent drivers place bicyclists in harm’s way far too often.

Our bicycle accident lawyers have extensive experience as personal injury attorneys and will dedicate our time to obtaining maximum compensation for your medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

Understanding Bicycle Accident Claims
Bicycle accidents can happen for many reasons, often due to the negligence of other parties. Common causes include:
- Motor vehicle collisions
- Distracted driving
- Failure to yield right-of-way
- Poor road conditions
- Defective bicycle parts
We know how devastating these accidents can be for cyclists and are committed to helping victims seek justice and compensation for their injuries.
In Pennsylvania, cyclists have the right to share the road with motor vehicles and are entitled to protection under the law. If you are a cyclist, you have the same legal rights as other road users, including the right to seek compensation for injuries resulting from an accident.
If you have been injured while cycling, we will work with you to protect your rights and pursue the compensation you deserve for medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
