You could be entitled to receive compensation for your injuries. After reviewing your case, our attorneys can provide legal guidance and determine if you could recover compensation.
How Much Money Could I Recover After a Bicycle Accident?
The amount of money you could recover after a bicycle accident varies based on the damages you incurred. The severity and type of your injuries play a role in the amount of compensation you could receive. If your injuries are severe and will impact you for the rest of your life, you will probably recover more compensation than if you will recover in a short amount of time.
The attorneys at Isaacs & Isaacs Personal Injury Lawyers will review your recoverable damages to determine the value of your case. Recoverable damages are the amount of money someone owes someone else to make up for injuring them. Damages you could recover after a bicycle accident include:
- Medical bills: Bicycle accident claims very often include medical care costs. Bicyclists are vulnerable to severe injuries and could visit the emergency room, ride in an ambulance, be hospitalized, visit the doctor often, or take medications. Any out-of-pocket costs for medical care can be included in your claim.
- Future medical bills: If your injuries will require ongoing medical care after your claim is settled, you can include future medical expenses in your claim.
- Rehabilitation costs: If your injuries require rehabilitative care such as physical therapy, occupational therapy, or speech therapy, you can include rehabilitation costs in your claim.
- Lost earnings: Depending on the severity of your injuries, you might be out of work for a short or long time. If you had to be out of work at all while recovering from the accident, you can include lost earnings in your claim.
- Diminished earning capacity: Your injuries might be so severe that you cannot return to work in the same capacity. If so, our attorneys will calculate the monetary loss you will incur if you cannot return to the same job or if you are unable to work at all. The cost of retirement and the medical benefits you lost can also be included in your claim.
- Pain and suffering: If you endured pain, suffering, inconvenience, or anguish because of your injuries, you could include pain and suffering damages to your claim.
- Emotional distress: If you endured any negative psychological impacts because of the accident or your injuries, such as anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, or sleep issues, you could include emotional distress damages in your claim.

Common Causes of Bicycle Accidents
To hold the motorist accountable, the cause of the accident must be determined. It has to be proven that the driver’s actions caused the accident. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration conducted a survey to find out the most common causes of bicycle accidents. They include:
- Speeding
- Distracted driving
- Careless lane changes or failing to signal
- Not stopping at a red light or stop sign
- Failure to yield
- Driving too close to bicyclists
- Aggressive driving
- Road conditions
Regardless of how the accident happened, it is helpful to speak with an attorney to learn about your legal rights and if you are entitled to compensation. The driver of the vehicle may not be the only person who is liable for your injuries. Other people or entities that could be held liable include:
- A government agency: If the roadways are not properly maintained
- Manufacturer of car parts: If a defective part caused the accident
- Another driver: If the motorist hit you because they were trying to avoid being hit by another driver on the road
Once our attorneys investigate the accident, we will have a clearer picture of who is liable.
