Bicycle Accidents

Bicycle accidents often lead to serious injuries due to the inherent vulnerability of cyclists on the road. At Imhof Law, LLC, we advocate for injured cyclists, ensuring that negligent drivers are held accountable for their actions. Our firm understands cyclists' unique challenges and the specific laws that protect them. We provide comprehensive legal support to help you recover damages for medical costs, pain and suffering, lost wages, and other losses incurred from the accident.

Understanding Bicycle Accident Claims

Bicycle accidents can occur in various situations, such as collisions with motor vehicles, dooring incidents (when a parked car’s door is opened into the path of a cyclist), and accidents caused by poor road conditions or defective bicycle parts. Each type of accident requires a tailored legal approach to ensure a successful outcome. Our attorneys at Imhof Law, LLC, possess extensive experience handling all types of bicycle accident cases, allowing us to navigate the complexities of these claims effectively.

Common Causes of Bicycle Accidents

Bicycle accidents are often the result of driver negligence or hazardous conditions. Some common causes include:


  • Distracted Driving: Drivers texting, talking on the phone, or engaging in other distractions may fail to notice cyclists, leading to collisions.

  • Failure to Yield: Motorists who do not yield the right-of-way to cyclists at intersections or when making turns can cause serious accidents.

  • Speeding: Excessive speed reduces a driver's ability to react to cyclists, increasing the likelihood of a collision.

  • Unsafe Lane Changes: Drivers who do not check their blind spots or signal properly when changing lanes can inadvertently strike cyclists.

  • Poor Road Conditions: Potholes, debris, and other hazards on the road can cause cyclists to lose control and crash.

  • Dooring: When a parked car’s door is suddenly opened into the path of a cyclist, it can result in severe injuries.

Our Comprehensive Legal Services

At Imhof Law, LLC, we offer a wide range of legal services to support our clients throughout the entire process of their bicycle accident claims. Our approach includes:


  1. Initial Consultation: We begin with a thorough consultation to understand the specifics of your case, evaluate the extent of your injuries, and identify the parties potentially liable for the accident.

  2. Investigation: Our attorneys conduct a comprehensive investigation, gathering evidence such as police reports, witness statements, medical records, and accident reconstruction analyses. This meticulous approach ensures a solid foundation to build a strong case.

  3. Negotiation with Insurance Companies: Dealing with insurance companies can be challenging, as they often attempt to minimize payouts. Our skilled negotiators handle all communications with insurers, striving to secure fair settlements that cover all your damages.

  4. Litigation: If a fair settlement cannot be reached through negotiation, we are fully prepared to take your case to court. Our attorneys have extensive trial experience and a proven track record of success in litigating bicycle accident cases. We present compelling arguments and evidence to advocate for your rights and obtain the compensation you deserve.

Types of Compensation Available

Victims of bicycle accidents may be entitled to various types of compensation, including:


  • Medical Expenses: Covering costs for emergency care, hospital stays, surgeries, medications, physical therapy, and future medical needs.

  • Lost Wages: Compensating for income lost due to time off work and future earning capacity if the injuries result in long-term or permanent disability.

  • Pain and Suffering: Addressing the physical pain and emotional distress caused by the accident and resulting injuries.

  • Property Damage: Reimbursement for repairing or replacing your bicycle and any other personal property damaged in the accident.

  • Loss of Enjoyment of Life: Compensation for the impact of the injuries on your ability to engage in and enjoy daily activities and hobbies.

  • Punitive Damages: In cases involving particularly egregious behavior, punitive damages may be awarded to punish the wrongdoer and deter similar conduct.
