As a bicyclist, sharing the road with larger vehicles can be intimidating and when accidents do occur, a great potential for injury exists. Your livelihood, as well as physical abilities, can be severely impacted and accidents may result in the prolonged need for medical treatment.

You have a right to use the road just as other vehicles have a duty to share it with you. If you have been involved in a bicycle accident, our Colorado Springs personal injury attorneys can help you to seek legal restitution. At Clawson & Clawson, LLP we believe that negligent drivers must be held responsible for their actions. Our firm has devoted much of our practice to personal injury and we understand the complexities of the law and how to apply it specifically to your accident claim.

Whether you have been injured by a distracted driver, drunk driver, or another cause, we can investigate the causes and help you identify your sources of compensation. We regularly represent injured cyclists who have been seriously injured in car accidents, truck accidents, and more.

Legal Protections for Bicyclists

In Colorado, the actions of bicyclists and cars on the road are regulated and governed by law. When a motor vehicle violates these laws and causes an accident, they can be held liable. For example, a car must maintain a safe distance while passing a bicyclist. It also prevents motorists from threatening bicyclists while on the road. Even if there is never any physical contact between you and the motor vehicle, they can still be held accountable for injuries caused by an accident. A no-impact accident occurs when the actions of a vehicle force a bicyclist to take evasive maneuvers to avoid a collision and an accident occurs.

What Compensation Can I Recover?

Unlike collisions involving two cars, bicycles often have less protection to shield them from the trauma of an accident. As a result, the aftermath and injuries suffered by the bicyclist can be severe and may necessitate prolonged or lifelong medical treatment. It is vital to seek restitution to cover both current and future expenses caused by an accident.

Furthering Your Chances of a Favorable Outcome

Turning the tides in your favor begins immediately after the accident occurs. Always wait for the police to arrive, as the information they take down can benefit you in the future. Include your side of the story in the police report and obtain necessary information from the other driver and witnesses. Names, phone numbers, and insurance information are key.

Additionally, well-documented photos can also make or break your case. Take pictures of the scene of the accident, your injuries, and the damage done to your bike. Insurance adjusters are much more likely to decide in your favor if they can clearly see why you deserve compensation. Perhaps the most important step is to hire a law firm you can trust and one that will be the advocate you need.
