Why You Need a Bicycle Accident Attorney in New Jersey

A bicycle accident in New Jersey can involve the state’s four-foot passing requirement, PIP coverage, and comparative-fault rules. A driver may deny fault or argue that a cyclist contributed to the crash, which can reduce or affect recovery. Promptly preserving evidence can help establish how the collision occurred and who was responsible.

  • Ged Lawyers represents injured cyclists, bicycle passengers, and families throughout New Jersey.
  • We handle crashes involving failure to yield, distracted driving, bike-lane collisions, and other preventable bicycle accidents.
  • Our team reviews police reports, medical records, bicycle damage, and available video to establish how the crash occurred and assess fault.
  • We pursue available compensation for medical expenses, PIP-covered losses, lost income, or other accident-related losses.

Types of Bicycle Accident Cases We Handle

Driver-Failure-To-Yield

Claims involving drivers who fail to yield while turning, merging, entering traffic, or crossing bike lanes.

Cases involving cyclists injured when a parked driver opens a door into the rider’s path.

Claims involving unsafe lane changes, blocked bike lanes, careless drivers, or roadway hazards.

Crashes involving red lights, stop signs, crosswalks, turning vehicles, or right-of-way disputes.

Legal help for cyclists hurt when the at-fault driver leaves the scene.

Claims involving potholes, loose gravel, debris, poor signage, or unsafe roadway conditions.

Common Bicycle Accident Injuries We Handle

Head And Brain Injuries

A New Jersey bicycle crash can result in concussions and other head injuries that affect memory, concentration, judgment, and daily activities.

The impact of a bicycle accident may cause neck trauma, back injuries, spinal damage, and ongoing nerve-related symptoms.

Broken bones are common in New Jersey after bicycle collisions and may require surgery, physical therapy, and extended recovery.

When cyclists are thrown from their bikes, severe skin abrasions can lead to infection, permanent scarring, and lasting discomfort.

Some injuries are not immediately visible after a bicycle accident. Internal bleeding and organ damage can become serious without prompt medical care.

Tragic bicycle accidents can result in a loss of life. Families may have the right to pursue a wrongful death claim and other available damages.

How Do I Know If I Have a Valid Bicycle Accident Claim?

You may have a New Jersey bicycle accident claim if another person’s negligence caused your injuries or losses. A driver who fails to provide the required four feet when passing, fails to yield, turns into a cyclist’s path, or drives while distracted may be responsible for the resulting crash.

If you were struck by a motor vehicle, PIP benefits may also be available to help cover eligible medical expenses, depending on the applicable insurance coverage. New Jersey’s comparative-fault rules can reduce your compensation if you share responsibility for the accident, and generally bar recovery when your fault is greater than 50%. New Jersey generally allows two years to file a personal injury lawsuit. Ged Lawyers reviews the collision, insurance coverage, medical records, and available evidence to assess your claim.
