Bicycle Accidents

If you’ve been hurt, you deserve top-quality representation from experienced bicycle accident attorney Fernando D. Vargas.

Bicycling is a popular, eco-friendly, and healthy activity, whether you do it for pleasure, for exercise, or as part of your daily commute. Unfortunately, it’s all too easy for a simple bike ride to take a tragic turn. Negligent drivers, unsafe road conditions, and defective bicycle parts can all cause accidents and leave cyclists facing painful and potentially life-altering injuries.

What To Do If You’ve Been in a Bicycle Accident

If you’ve been injured while bicycling, you need to act carefully in order to preserve your ability to seek compensation. Here are the most important points to remember:

  • Getting medical care for yourself and any other injured individuals is your first priority.
  • You need to call the police if you have been injured.
  • If you are able, try to take photographs or video of the scene of the accident. This will help prove who caused the bicycle accident.
  • Get contract information from other involved parties and from any witnesses.
  • Do not admit fault or apologize for the accident.
  • Do not talk to insurance adjusters.
  • Do not sign any documents or releases.
  • Call an experienced bicycle accident attorney ASAP.
