Bicycle Accident FAQs

If you’re involved in a hit-and-run cycling accident, your safety is the top priority. If you can, move to a safe location away from traffic. Once you’re in a secure area:

  1. Seek Medical Attention: Even if you feel okay, it’s crucial to get checked out by a doctor. Some injuries might not be immediately apparent, and early treatment can make a big difference in your recovery and your legal claim.
  2. Contact the Police: Report the accident to the police as soon as possible. This will create an official record of the incident, which can be important for insurance claims and legal proceedings.
  3. Gather Information: If possible, get the license plate number or any other details about the vehicle that hit you. If there are any witnesses, try to get their contact information too.
  4. Contact a Bicycle Crash Lawyer: An experienced lawyer can guide you through the legal process, protect your rights, and help you seek compensation for your injuries and other losses. 

Note: It is very important to contact a lawyer as soon as possible. If you are involved in an accident involving an uninsured driver, or hit and run driver, you must give the MVACF notice of the accident within 90 days of the date of the accident.

Bicycle accidents often result from a combination of factors, including:

  • Distracted Driving: Drivers using cell phones, eating, or engaging in other activities that take their attention away from the road are a major cause of bicycle accidents.
  • Impaired Driving: Drivers under the influence of alcohol or drugs pose a significant risk to cyclists. 
  • Speeding: Excessive speed reduces a driver’s ability to react to cyclists.
  • Poor Visibility: Low light conditions, bad weather, and obstructed views can make it difficult for drivers to see cyclists. 
  • Road violence: Unfortunately incidents do occur where drivers act aggressively towards cyclists and seriously injuring them.

No matter the cause, it’s important to reach out to a bicycle accident lawyer as soon as possible. Your lawyer can protect your rights and fight for fair compensation, freeing you to focus on your recovery. 

You should contact a bicycle accident lawyer as early as possible – even before you contact your insurer. Why? Because with a lawyer on your side, you will be in the best position to protect your rights and receive fair compensation for your injuries and losses. 

Cycling accidents can be particularly challenging to prove fault. So the earlier you contact a bicycle accident lawyer, the higher the chances of preserving evidence in your case will be. 

The exact number of accidents per year is unknown, and any statistics would likely be inaccurate due to the number of incidents that go unreported. Statistics Canada notes that around 74 cyclists die on the roads each year, with 74% of those fatalities involving a collision with a motor vehicle. 

Whatever the cause behind your bicycle accident, reaching out to a lawyer as soon as possible gives you the best chance of receiving fair compensation. Bicycle accident settlements can be complex, so early advice can make all the difference. 

Bicycle accident settlements vary. Here are some of the factors that can impact your settlement if you are involved in a bicycle accident: 

  • How early you contact a bicycle accident lawyer. 
  • The specific circumstances of the accident. 
  • Your injuries and the impact these injuries will have on your life. 
  • The available medical evidence. 
  • Your lost wages, medical bills, and other costs. 
  • Your legal strategy for managing your bicycle accident claim. 

And a range of other unique factors depending on your case.
