Philadelphia Bicycle Accident Injury Lawyers
Protecting the Rights of Injured Cyclists
The number of bicycle accidents is on the rise in the United States, including in Pennsylvania. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, in 2007, 1,426 bicyclists were injured in traffic accidents in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and 20 bicyclists lost their lives. Both the causes of a bicycle injury as well as the extent of the injuries can be difficult to establish. You want an experienced Philadelphia personal injury attorney who understands the law and legal process and who has helped others in similar situations to protect your rights.

Our Bicycle Accident Injury Practice
Bike riders do not have the same protection as drivers. When car, truck or bus drivers are distracted or simply fail to look and collide with a biker, the bicyclist is the one who sustains the most severe injuries. Injuries frequently resulting from bike accidents include:
- Brain and spinal cord injury
- Broken bones or fractures
- Lacerations
- Road abrasions (also known as road rash)
We also represent bicyclists who have been injured in hit-and-run accidents. We handle claims involving collisions between bicyclists and motorists, and will also help you seek compensation if you suffered needless injury because of a defective helmet.
We handle all matters related to bicycle accident injury claims, gathering and assessing all evidence, preparing and filing all necessary documents, and acting as your voice in all hearings or proceedings, including depositions, settlement meetings and trial. We will help you seek damages for all your losses, including lost wages and income, medical expenses, and pain and suffering.
