Bicycle Accident Attorneys in Washington State

When an accident occurs between a motor vehicle and a bike, the bicyclist is at much higher risk of severe injuries due to the size difference between cars or trucks and bicycles.

Common Causes of Bicycle Accidents

Bicycle accidents can happen in a wide range of circumstances, many of which are caused by negligent motorists. Drivers may fail to notice cyclists while turning, changing lanes, backing out of driveways, or navigating intersections. Other crashes occur because of distracted driving, speeding, impaired driving, or a failure to obey traffic laws. Regardless of how the collision occurred, a bicyclist who is injured because of a driver’s careless actions may be entitled to seek compensation for the resulting damages. By filing a personal injury claim, injured cyclists can pursue recovery for medical bills, lost wages, rehabilitation costs, pain and suffering, and other losses stemming from the accident.
