Understanding Norfolk And Virginia Beach Bike Accidents

Biking is a popular activity in Virginia’s scenic areas, but Norfolk and Virginia Beach see a high volume of bicycle accidents, often due to high traffic and driver negligence.

Unfortunately, bike accidents can happen in a variety of settings. Common examples include busy intersections, on bike lanes or along rural roadways. When an accident leads to injuries, victims may be entitled to potentially substantial injury compensation.

Common Causes Of Bike Accidents

Bicycle accidents occur for various reasons, including:

  • Distracted driving: Drivers not paying attention to cyclists due to texting or other distractions
  • Failure to yield: Motorists failing to give the right of way to bicycles at intersections
  • Speeding: Excessive speed reduces reaction time, endangering cyclists
  • Poor road conditions: Potholes, debris and uneven pavement can trigger loss of control

When negligence causes or contributes to bike accident injuries, our attorneys can help you present an injury claim that reflects the full extent of your injuries.

Types Of Bike Accident Injuries

Bicycle accidents frequently result in serious injuries, such as:

  • Head injuries: Even with helmets, traumatic brain injuries occur commonly
  • Spinal cord damage: Leading to potential paralysis or long-term disability
  • Broken bones: Arms, legs and ribs are particularly susceptible
  • Road rash: Painful skin injuries caused by skidding across pavement, sometimes requiring surgery and skin grafts

Addressing such injuries typically requires significant financial resources, making legal assistance in obtaining compensation critical.

Steps After A Bike Accident

After your bicycle accident, take steps to protect your rights and compensation:

  • Seek medical attention, even if injuries seem minor
  • Call the police and obtain a copy of the official report
  • Document the scene with photos and gather witness information

Finally, contact one of our experienced bicycle accident lawyers for legal guidance and to safeguard your due compensation.

Liability And Damages

Determining liability in a bike accident can be complex, often involving negligent drivers, municipalities responsible for road maintenance or even bike manufacturers.

Our injury attorneys will investigate thoroughly to identify all liable parties and fight to secure compensation for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering and other losses you suffered.
