Phoenix, Arizona Bicycle Accident Lawyers

"The driver of the car was looking left and turning right! She ran right into me!" Inattention, a blind spot, sun glare—there often is no good excuse for the driver of an automobile hitting a bicycle. When a collision occurs the bicycle rider is likely to suffer permanently disabling or fatal head, neck, or spinal cord injuries, with or without a helmet.

Our Phoenix, Arizona attorneys, with the help of medical and accident reconstruction experts, help demonstrate the way in which the bike crash caused injuries or wrongful death. Contact our law firm to arrange a free consultation with a lawyer with experience in bicycle accident claims.

74 percent of bicycle-car collisions occur at intersections. Other bicycle-motor vehicle accidents occur when cars force bikes off the road, overtake and hit bicycles, or an auto's occupant opens a door in front of a bicyclist riding in the bike lane.

When helping you identify sources of compensation for your loss our lawyers will consider your own uninsured motorist insurance, insurance of the car that caused the accident, the crew that left debris in the roadway, or any other party even partially responsible.

Injuries resulting from bicycle accidents vary from foot and knee injuries (which may cause lifelong pain and disability) to paraplegia, quadriplegia, or traumatic brain injury (TBI). It is extremely important to have the right life care and economic experts calculate the value of these claims, particularly when the victim is a child or young adult.

Brake cables, forks, wheels, spokes, handlebars—bicycles are complex machines, carrying a largely unprotected rider through heavy traffic, sometimes at highway speeds. If a poorly designed or defective cable or other part fails and causes a crash the manufacturer, distributor, or another party may be held accountable for the rider's injuries. If a responsible rider wears an approved helmet and it fails to prevent a brain injury, our attorneys, calling on top engineering and physics experts to demonstrate the failure, recover compensation for clients injured by these defective bicycle parts through products liability claims.
