Much like pedestrian accidents, crashes between bicycles and motor vehicles often lead to serious injuries. While bicycle helmets offer some protection, spine injuries and TBIs are common. This type of accident can lead to lasting disability that can make it difficult to return to work or even care for oneself. The cost of paying for hospitalization and doctors’ visits, medications, and special equipment can quickly add up. For some people, these costs continue for a lifetime. Filing a personal injury claim against the responsible parties can ensure the injured person is able to pay for their medical treatment and living expenses while they recover.
Cyclists are required to obey certain traffic laws, just like drivers and bikers, with one important exception—they do not have the same insurance coverage. This does not mean cyclists don’t have the same legal rights they would have if they were hit by a negligent driver while in a car. When someone is injured in a bike wreck, a Henderson attorney from our firm could help recover damages from a negligent driver, bicycle manufacturer, or other responsible parties even if the injured party was partly to blame for the accident.
In Henderson, the risk for suffering a bike injury increases near schools, tourist attractions, and at busy intersections. Bicycle accidents often occur despite a cyclist’s attempt to be as visible as possible. Because bicycles are so much smaller than motor vehicles—or even motorcycles—they are often hard to see. A driver who is impaired fails to see a cyclist, or is driving distracted may turn in front of someone on a bicycle, not yield the right away, or make other mistakes that cause an accident.
David Boehrer recommends that anyone who is hit while riding on a bike to call a Henderson accident lawyer as soon as possible. These accidents may be more complicated than they first appear. Police officers aren’t always familiar with the common causes of bicycle accidents. Mistakes or omissions during a crash investigation can make these cases difficult. In many cases, Nevada laws give cyclists the right to do what they were doing but an incorrect interpretation of the law may lead to confusion. For example, if an accident report states the cyclist was doing the wrong thing, they may accept responsibility for the crash and not be able to file a claim against the negligent driver.
