The recreational use of bicycles is becoming increasingly popular especially in tourist areas like Cape Cod. Unfortunately, the combination of increased traffic, lack of familiarity with local roadways, and all too often the fault of a negligent driver can lead to serious injury.
Dangerous and deadly accidents leading to neck and back injuries, head trauma, fractures, and serious abrasions are frequently the result of bicycle riders being struck or run off the road by an automobile. Texting while driving, driving when intoxicated, and failing to use caution while operating a motor vehicle are the most common types of negligent driving. If you or a loved one have been injured in a bicycle accident due to the fault of another, we can help you file a claim for compensation.
Let an experienced attorney explain your legal rights. There is a limited time during which a negligence claim can be filed. Further, it is essential to preserve evidence from an accident scene, identify witnesses to the scene and properly document all physical injuries sustained.
