Bicycle Accidents
Helping Injured Cyclists Get the Justice They Deserve
Bicycle accidents happen more often than you might think, and they can turn your life upside down. In the U.S., nearly 1,000 cyclists are killed and over 130,000 are hurt in crashes every year.
These numbers show just how risky it can be to ride a bike on the road. That’s why having the right legal help really matters. At Lowe Injury Law, we’re here for people who’ve been injured in bike accidents. If you or someone you care about has been hurt, our team is ready to help you through the legal steps and fight to get you the compensation you deserve.
Common Causes of Bicycle Accidents
Bike accidents can happen for a lot of different reasons, and most of the time, they could’ve been prevented. Here are some of the most common reasons bicycle accidents happen—and how they put cyclists at risk:
- Distracted Drivers: If someone is texting, talking on the phone, eating, or just not focused, they might not see a cyclist in time to avoid a crash. These moments of distraction can have serious consequences.
- Failure to Yield or Stop: Drivers don’t always follow the rules when it comes to stop signs or right-of-way. If a driver doesn’t stop when they’re supposed to or ignores a cyclist’s right-of-way, it can lead to a collision, often with the cyclist getting the worst of it.
- Reckless or Aggressive Driving: Speeding, tailgating, or weaving through traffic puts everyone in danger. Bikes don’t have the same protection as cars, so when drivers act aggressively, the risk of injury is much higher.
- Poor Road Conditions: Potholes, uneven pavement, and narrow or badly marked bike lanes are all real dangers for cyclists. If a road isn’t properly maintained and causes an accident, the city or whoever’s in charge of that road might be responsible.
- Cyclist Error: Sometimes, accidents happen because the cyclist makes a mistake, like running a red light or not using hand signals. Even then, it doesn’t always mean you’re out of luck. A lawyer can help figure out who’s really at fault and if you still have a case.
Why Work with a Bicycle Accident Lawyer?
Getting into a bike accident is tough. Between the pain, the doctor visits, and the calls from insurance companies, it can feel like too much to handle, especially when all you want to do is focus on getting better.
That’s where having a lawyer who knows this stuff can really help. Here’s how having the right person on your side can make things easier.
We Know Bicycle Accident Cases Inside and Out
These kinds of cases can get complicated fast. Figuring out who caused the crash, dealing with insurance, and making sense of all the legal stuff—it’s a lot. Our team at Lowe Injury Law has handled plenty of bicycle accident cases, and we know what to look for. We’ll walk you through everything and make sure you’re not doing this alone.
We Fight to Get You What You’re Owed
After an accident, you might have bills piling up, be missing work, and be dealing with pain every day. You deserve to be paid for all of that. But insurance companies don’t always want to pay what’s fair. We push back and fight for the full amount you’re entitled to—so you can focus on healing, not worrying about money.
We Deal with the Insurance and Find Out Who’s Responsible
Talking to insurance companies can be frustrating. They know how to make things complicated and may try to avoid paying. We step in, handle the paperwork and phone calls, gather the proof, and figure out who should be held responsible. You shouldn’t have to deal with all of this on your own, and you definitely shouldn’t have to pay for someone else’s mistake.
How Our Bicycle Accident Lawyer Can Help You
At Lowe Injury Law, we’re here to make things easier for you, starting with handling the legal side. When you choose our team, you’re not just getting a lawyer—you’re getting someone who’s ready to take the stress off your shoulders and fight for what’s fair.
Here’s how we can help:
- Personalized Legal Support: Every bicycle accident is different, and we get that. We’ll take the time to listen to what happened, understand your needs, and build a case that’s right for you. You won’t just be another case number—we’ll be here to support you through it all.
- Thorough Investigation: We dig into the details of your accident, gather all the evidence we can, talk to witnesses, and even bring in experts if needed. Our goal is simple: to make sure we know exactly what happened and who’s responsible.
- Handling the Insurance Companies: Insurance companies can be a headache, especially when they’re trying to lowball you. We take care of all the back-and-forth with the insurance company, so you don’t have to. We’ll make sure you’re treated fairly and not pressured into a quick settlement.
- Fighting for Full Compensation: We don’t settle for less. Whether it’s for your medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, or damage to your bike, we’ll fight to get you every dollar you deserve. Our job is to make sure you get the compensation you need to move forward.
- No Upfront Costs: We work on a contingency fee, which means you don’t pay anything unless we win your case. No upfront costs, no hidden fees—just a simple, fair way to get the help you need.
Getting hurt in a bike accident can feel like your world has been turned upside down. But you don’t have to go through it alone. Let us be there for you, every step of the way.
Types of Injuries in Bicycle Accidents
Bicycle accidents can lead to serious injuries, even in situations where cyclists are wearing helmets and protective gear. While some injuries might seem minor, others can have long-lasting effects on your health and daily life. Here’s a look at the most common injuries:
- Broken bones
- Spinal injuries
- Road rash and other abrasions
- Head trauma (including concussions)
- Soft tissue injuries (e.g., sprains, strains)
Severity and Long-Term Effects
Many injuries sustained in bicycle accidents can have long-term effects. A head injury can result in cognitive impairments, while a spinal injury could lead to permanent disability.
These long-term consequences may require extensive medical treatment, rehabilitation, and support for the rest of your life. It’s critical to ensure that your settlement or verdict includes compensation for all future costs.

What to Do After a Bicycle Accident
Knowing what to do in the moments following the accident can make a big difference in your recovery and in any potential legal claim. Here’s a quick guide on what you should do right after an accident:
Seek Medical Attention
Even if you feel fine or think your injuries are minor, it's important to get checked out by a doctor after a bicycle accident. Some injuries, like concussions, might not show up right away but can get worse over time.
Report the Accident
Call the police and report the accident as soon as possible. A police report can be really helpful for your case later. You should also make sure to file an accident report with your insurance company if needed.
Document the Scene
If you're able to, take pictures of the accident scene, your injuries, and any damage to your bike. It's also a good idea to get contact information from any witnesses who saw what happened.
