Common Causes of Bicycle Accidents and How They Can Be Prevented
There are many reasons why people ride their bicycles in Kendall. Some do it to exercise or enjoy the nice weather, others use their bikes to get to work, and children ride around their neighborhoods to have fun and interact with friends. The reasons are endless. However, in many cases, a simple bicycle ride may end up as a tragedy when the rider is hit by a car or otherwise injured. When this happens, it is essential to contact Kendall bicycle accident attorneys from the law office of Amanda Demanda who can help you fight for your rights.
Many bicycle injuries are caused by drivers, and these are the main reasons why they happen:
Distracted Drivers
It is quite common for drivers to be distracted while behind the wheel. This may be because they are texting or using their phone to scroll social media, they are eating or drinking, and engaging in any behavior that takes their eyes off the road.
Dooring Accidents
Dooring is used to describe when a car driver opens their door after they have parked without first checking there are no bike riders or pedestrians around. If you are riding your bicycle at full speed, it is likely you will be unable to come to a full stop before hitting the open door.
Rear-End Accidents
When a bicycle rider is traveling in the same direction as the cars and the bike rider stops at a red light, the car behind them may not expect them to respect traffic signs and bumps right onto the bike causing the rider to lose their balance and hit the ground, risking their safety even further.
Blind Spots
When car drivers make a turn, they have blind spots in which a bicycle may be hidden. When this happens, accidents are inevitable.
Right Hook Collisions
When a driver tries to make a right turn without checking for a cyclist in the bike lane, a right hook collision may occur. This crash gives the bike rider very little time to respond.
Road Hazards
Other possible causes for bicycle accidents are hazards along the road. These may be potholes, cracks, sewer grates, train tracks, bumps, sand or gravel, poor illumination, poorly paved roads, and more. When there is not another driver who might be liable for the accident, your bicycle accident lawyers in Kendall from Amanda Demanda will help you file a claim against the municipality, city, or state responsible for the maintenance of the road where the injuries occurred. Let us hear your story and start gathering evidence to build a strong case for your defense.
Compensation Available for Bicycle Accident Victims
Your Kendall cycling injury attorneys from Amanda Demanda will work with you to establish the compensation you should seek when filing your claim. Items that are included are:
Medical Expenses
Keep a detailed file of all the medical expenses you have incurred since the accident such as emergency room fees, doctor’s visits, hospitalization costs, prescription medications, therapies, medical equipment, and others. Your attorney will examine your medical record and may include your future medical needs as well, particularly if the doctor has determined that you will need further treatment to recover your health.
Lost Wages
Any income you have not earned due to your injuries, including salaries, bonuses, or commissions, will be included in your claim. Your medical situation may also call for loss of future earnings capacity to be added to the compensation you seek.
Pain and Suffering
You may be experiencing anxiety, depression, PTSD, emotional distress, and other intangible feelings. Your attorney will help place a monetary value on these items which will be added to your claim.
Let your injury lawyers help you determine the value of your claim and fight to get you the compensation to which you might be entitled. Call us today.
