Accidents Can Happen To Anyone
Accidents unfortunately happen to many different types of bike riders. From the person who dusts their old bicycle off once in a great while to avid cyclists who train and participate in races and long-haul rides, anyone can suffer anywhere from minor to very serious injuries. Many casual riders assume that if they get into an accident while they are on their bike, it is automatically their fault. This is not the case. If you are a cyclist, you are likely aware that even though motor vehicles are supposed to share the road and obey all laws, many drivers unfortunately do not do this and drive as if they are allowed to ignore cyclists. When a cyclist gets injured in an accident, it is often recommended that they seek the help of a good Margate bicycle accident lawyer so that they do not suffer financially on top of their physical and emotional injuries.
Why Bicycle Accidents Happen
Bicycle accidents can happen for many different reasons. Some of the more common reasons include speeding and distracted motorists, dooring incidents, where someone in a parked car opens a door without looking, entities responsible for road maintenance and signage, pedestrians, and other bikers.
Compensation For A Bicycle Accident
When a bicycle rider gets injured because of another person or entity’s neglect, the cycle accident victim may be entitled to compensation. While many cycling accidents involve motor vehicles, if an accident was caused by someone or something else, such as poorly maintained or marked city roads, or a pedestrian or fellow bike rider, the injured party or parties may be able to hold the party or parties whose negligence caused the accident, liable for expenses related to the victim’s injuries. The kind of compensation a victim may be entitled to depends on the specifics of their case but in addition to compensation for medical expenses, a bicycle accident victim may be entitled to compensation for such things as lost wages, replacing damaged property, pain and suffering, and different kinds of therapies.
