We Will Fight for the Compensation You Deserve
Cycling is a fun, healthy activity loved by many. Unfortunately, in the event of an accident, bicycles offer limited protection and serious injuries are all too common. Bicycle accident injuries tend to have a lengthy recovery period and result in expensive medical bills, pain and suffering and other damages. In other words, physical, emotional, and financial hardship are expected. It is, therefore, crucial to consult a seasoned lawyer to discuss your legal options and rights after a bicycle accident.
If a negligent party caused the accident in which you were injured, it is very likely that you have grounds to file suit and recover compensation. At Shaheen & Gordon, P.A., our compassionate attorneys have seen firsthand how devastating bicycle accident injuries can be for victims and their loved ones. That’s why we are committed to using our premier legal skills and vast knowledge of the law to help New Hampshire accident victims recover the compensation they are owed.
Common Causes of Bicycle Accidents
Whether the bicycle accident was caused by a reckless driver who wasn’t paying attention or a negligent pedestrian walking in the bike lane, our team of lawyers is here for you. We will use our extensive resources to help you prove the other party was responsible for the accident and your injuries.
Common causes of bicycle accidents include:
- Bike tires getting stuck in potholes or sewer grates
- Distracted drivers, such as those who text and drive
- Drivers making unsafe lane changes
- Drivers who are weaving in and out of traffic
- Drivers turning at intersections without looking
- Drivers failing to yield at intersections and crosswalks
- Drivers running red lights or stop signs
- Drivers under the influence of alcohol or drugs
Sadly, many bike accidents occur around schools, parks, bus stops, and residential neighborhoods. As a result, bike accidents tend to involve young children who have been struck by vehicles. A driver who fails to take the necessary precautions around anyone—especially children—on bicycles can be held liable for any accident or injury they cause.
Common Bicycle Accident Injuries
At our New Hampshire firm, our trial attorneys accept cases in which cyclists have sustained minor and severe injuries. Most commonly, these injuries include:
- Road rash
- Amputation, partial or full
- Paralysis, partial or full
- Head and brain injuries
- Orthopedic injuries
- Serious burns
- Fractured bones
- Eye injuries
- Internal organ damage or bleeding
- Death
Please note that you can only recover compensation for the damages you can prove you have suffered. Thus, every bicycle accident case will be worth a different amount of money. The worse the injury, the more damages you are likely to have incurred and the more financial support you are likely to need.
