FAQs for Bicycle Accident Injury Claims
(Covering All Related Topics)
What should I do if I’m hit while riding my bike?
If you're involved in a bicycle accident, seek medical help immediately and call the police. Document the scene, take photos, and gather witness information. Then, contact a personal injury law firm like Certa Farrish Law Group to preserve your legal rights and explore compensation options.
Who can be held liable in a bicycle accident case?
Liability may fall on negligent drivers, city agencies responsible for dangerous road conditions, or manufacturers of faulty bike equipment. We assess all persons or entities involved to identify who is legally responsible.
What damages can I recover after a bicycle accident?
You may be entitled to medical expenses, lost wages, property damages, and compensation for pain and suffering. We also pursue future care costs, especially if your injuries are long-lasting or permanent.
Are bicyclists protected under Washington’s personal injury laws?
Yes. Cyclists have the same rights to the road as drivers and are fully protected under torts and personal injury law. Our injury law team ensures those rights are respected and enforced in court or in settlement negotiations.
What if I wasn’t wearing a helmet?
Failing to wear a helmet may impact your case, but it does not automatically bar recovery. Under Washington’s comparative fault system, you can still pursue damages—even if your own actions contributed to the injury.
How long do I have to file a bicycle accident claim?
The statute of limitations in Washington for personal injury claims is generally three years. That clock starts ticking from the date of the accident, so don’t delay in contacting a qualified attorney.
What types of injuries are common in bicycle accidents?
Common injuries include broken bones, traumatic brain injuries, spinal trauma, and internal damage. Even “minor” accidents can result in serious medical bills and long-term consequences.
Can I sue for unsafe road conditions that caused my bike crash?
Yes. If poor road maintenance or defective signage contributed to your accident, the person or entity responsible—often a government agency—may be liable. These claims require special procedures and tight timelines, so contact an attorney right away.
