Bicycle Injuries
Bicyclists are some of the most exposed people on the road. Even when they wear helmets, follow traffic rules, and stay alert, one careless action from a driver can cause devastating consequences. Collisions with vehicles often result in severe injuries such as broken bones, spinal damage, or head trauma. Beyond the physical injuries, many riders lose an important part of their lifestyle. For some, cycling is transportation. For others, it is a passion or a source of physical and mental well-being. Losing that ability is a profound personal loss.
At AGX LAW, APC, I fight for cyclists because too often their rights are ignored. Drivers commonly say they “did not see” the cyclist. That excuse has become far too familiar, but it does not remove responsibility. I work to gather every available piece of evidence, including witness testimony, traffic camera footage, and police reports, to prove negligence. My goal is to show clearly that you were entitled to be on the road and that another’s carelessness caused your injuries.
Bicycle accidents are also unique because they often involve long-term rehabilitation and emotional recovery. A cyclist who has been hit may hesitate to get back on the road, and in some cases may never be able to ride again. I make sure that these intangible but very real losses are recognized in settlement negotiations and court proceedings. Compensation should not only cover medical bills and lost income but also the loss of freedom, identity, and peace of mind that comes from being a cyclist.
