The rate of bicyclists who have been killed in roadway accidents has continued to rise over the past decade. A 6.3 percent rise in deaths occurred from 2017 to 2018 with a record total of 857 cyclists losing their lives in accidents on the road, the highest number in three decades.
Far too many bike accidents occur because motor vehicle operators don’t share the road with bicyclists. Driver carelessness and negligence can lead to tragic outcomes, including fatalities. While cyclists must also prioritize safety, the reality is that in an automobile versus bicycle collision, the cyclist faces the overwhelming danger. If you’ve suffered injuries, a skilled bike accident lawyer can assist with your cyclist injury claim and guide you through a personal injury lawsuit to recover compensation.
Roads are shared spaces, yet when drivers or bicyclists neglect their duty to keep everyone safe, devastating accidents ensue. Common causes range from speeding and failing to follow traffic rules to ignoring crosswalks, adverse weather conditions, poor visibility, and inadequate space in traffic, despite efforts towards bike lane safety. Alarmingly, impairment from alcohol and/or drugs significantly escalates the likelihood of an accident, contributing to over one-third of fatal bicycle collisions. If you’ve sustained injuries, robust legal help for cyclists is essential to secure fair compensation for bike injuries.
Bicycle Accident Injuries
Bicyclists who get into an accident on the road are prone to any number of resulting injuries, including broken bones, road rash, major head trauma, brain injury, neck and spinal injury, serious wounds, and paralysis.
If you or someone you know is injured in a bicycling accident, you must always seek treatment even if you don’t feel any symptoms of pain at first. Issues can develop after the fact and you could be left paying medical costs out of pocket if you don’t file a claim in a timely fashion. Always seek out medical attention right after an accident, there are many medical conditions that might be caused as a result of the incident and you should have any issues diagnosed before they become bigger problems.
With your life and livelihood at stake, it pays to be safe on the road. Every driver has a responsibility to operate his or her motor vehicle in a safe and respectful manner so as not to injure other drivers going about their way. Here are some helpful tips to consider:
Staying Safe
Anytime you are riding a bicycle, no matter where it may be and no matter where you are going, it’s a smart plan to take some sensible precautions so you always stay safe.
Wear a helmet
Headwear such as a bicycling helmet is the best protection for you head in the event you are thrown from your bike in an accident.
Using hand signals
Always let others know what you are doing on the road. Simple hand signals indicating a left or right turn are among the most crucial methods of communication that you must employ.
Sufficient visibility
If you can’t see where you are going, you will have a very difficult time getting anywhere. If you are unable to see on either side, you will have a very difficult time seeing what’s around you. Your chances of getting into an accident are increased as a result. That’s why you want to have a headlight and mirrors on your bicycle.
Obey the rules of the road
Moving with the flow of traffic is the best rule of thumb. The only reasons not to do so are when you are attempting a left turn or you are trying to pass another bicyclist or motorist.
Avoid distractions
Distracted bicyclists are more likely to get into an accident. Do not use your phone for any reason while you are operating a bicycle.
In The Event of an Accident
If you are involved in a bicycle accident, what you do and say next can have a serious impact on any claim you might decide to file should you be entitled to damages due to negligence on the part of others.
You should proceed carefully after an accident. For starters, be sure to check if you have suffered any injuries. Even small lacerations can become larger concerns if they become infected. Neck and back trauma may not reveal themselves at first, but you could experience pain shortly afterward. In any event, seek our medical attention for any injuries that you may have sustained.
For accidents where there are one or more parties with severe injuries, dial 911 and wait for help to arrive. A police report should also be completed detailing the facts of the accident. You should also get the information of the driver behind the wheel of the vehicle or vehicles involved in the accident. This includes name(s), insurance information, license plate numbers, and so on.
Above all, do not admit wrongdoing. Do not apologize to anyone, do not take fault for what has occurred. Simply stick to the details of the incident when speaking with the driver and/or law enforcement.
How to behave after an accident
If you are ever involved in a car accident, what you do and say can have a major effect on your ability to get the compensation you deserve for any injuries you may have sustained.
Remain calm
The first thing to do is not to panic. Stay calm and collected. Make sure you are not trapped in the vehicle and you are not in any danger when you exit.
Check for injuries
If you are not hurt, check for injuries anyway. Feel around for any blood or broken limbs. In the event you have a passenger in the car with you, check to make sure they are okay as well.
Call 911
This is essential if you or anyone else on the scene has been injured, but if there are no injured parties have the police come out to the accident location. You may want to have a police report filled out which can outline the details of the scene.
Exchange information
Get all contact and insurance information from the other driver or drivers. If there are any witnesses present who can attest to what happened, get their information as well so you may contact them later to help support your claims
Gather evidence
If and when you are able, get out your smartphone and get as many photos of the accident site as you can. Take pictures of everything, your car, the other car, the flow of traffic, surrounding signs, and road conditions.
The more information you have to support your case, the better your chances of getting maximum compensation for your injuries after a crash. The insurance companies are going to make it very tough for you to collect and may even offer a substantially lower cash settlement. Don’t take on the insurance companies yourself, get an experiencing personal injury attorney on your side, one who has decades of experience winning car accident cases.

Filing a Claim
If you or someone you know has suffered an injury as a result of another driver’s negligence you could be entitled to damages in the form of financial compensation. You may be able to receive compensation for any medical costs, property damage or loss, and pain and suffering. The sooner you file a claim, the more likely you are to receive maximum compensation. But don’t rely on the insurance companies to pay out all that you deserve, their only goal is to give you the minimum or nothing at all, if possible.
That’s why you should never negotiate with the insurance companies on your own, always hire a highly-skilled personal injury attorney to fight for your rights and get you what you deserve. Typically, you have up to two years to file an accident claim, but your delay could have a significant impact on your ability to get the maximum compensation.

I had a great experience working with Attorney Lior and his team. From the very beginning, they made the entire process so easy and took a lot of the stress off my shoulders. They were always available to answer my questions, kept me updated every step of the way, and truly cared about my case. I always felt like I was in good hands. If you’re looking for a law firm that is professional, responsive, and genuinely looks out for its clients, I highly recommend Attorney Lior and his team.

I got a lawyer who was completely incompetent for a lawyer, she has me us confused with all the other clients, she sent us to doctors miles away from our home, we went to therapy before the mri she told us we could add our kids on to the lawsuit weeks before the settlement, but we were so down we needed the money, so we left over 100,000 on the table, constantly lying, they don’t honor there word, she barley spoke English, broken promises over and over we paid them more than they should have, and as of now, my wife was paid before me instead of sending our money together so I’m still waiting after the lawyer gave me tracking number a 2 days ago. Today being Friday 7/3/26 I checked my tracking number and the money hasn’t left the office. I would not recommend unless you don’t mind being played with.

I can't say enough about Sasooness Law Group APC! After my unfortunate accident involving my 2018 Porsche Macan, they guided me every step of the way, making the entire process incredibly smooth. Daphne was absolutely amazing, handling all the appointments and making sure I was always informed. Alan was fantastic with the negotiation process! Their strong network and relationships were a huge plus, even helping with reductions. While I hope to never need them again, I'm so grateful to know they are there. Highly recommend!

My review is a bit late, however this is a great honest law firm. They communicate well. They don't pressure the client into unnecessary treatments and they make sure you receive a reasonable portion of your settlement as quickly as possible. They are transparent with their billing practices and will not waste years of your life. They even sent me a gift package with a coffee mug and reusable water bottle! Thanks so much.

Outstanding Experience with a Truly Dedicated Legal Team
A very special thank you to Briant Robles and Lior Behdadnia.
I cannot say enough good things about my experience with Sasooness Law Group. From the very first consultation, their team showed genuine care, professionalism, and dedication to helping me through my car injury case. What could have been an overwhelming and stressful process was made so much easier thanks to their guidance and expertise.
Briant Robles, my case manager, took time to listen to every detail of my situation, explained each step of the legal process clearly, and kept me informed throughout the entire journey. I always felt that my case mattered to them, and that level of personal attention made all the difference.
Their expertise in personal injury law was evident — they handled negotiations with confidence and precision, ensuring I received a fair and favorable outcome. Beyond their legal skill, what truly stood out was their compassion. They treated me like a person, not just a case number, and that kind of respect and empathy is rare. Especially Briant.
I’m deeply grateful for their time, dedication, and unwavering support. If you’re looking for a personal injury attorney who truly cares and delivers exceptional results, I wholeheartedly recommend Sasooness Law Group.

I had a great experience with Sasooness Law Group. I want to express how grateful I am for all the help, guidance, and support that Yader provided along this process. I didn't know what to expect from being represented after my car accident. I was nervous not knowing what the process would be like, but my case manager Yader was always available to provide updates and information about my case. He answered my questions and explained next steps from beginning to end.
I am grateful to have been represented by Sasooness Law Group as they took care of my case so I could focus on my recuperation. I highly recommend this law group. Thank you, Yader.

Today was a good day, very much in thanks to the swift, thoughtful, and thorough assistance I received from Briant Robles at Sasooness Law Group. My car accident case was being handled by this firm; I first want to say how pleased I am to be receiving a settlement at all, since the other side did not intend to pay me a dime. I was reluctant to hire an attorney but as I only carried minimum state liability insurance, my insurance company said it was up to me to try and recover any damages and payment for treatment for my personal injuries - it was all pretty scary. I'm really glad I decided to hire Sasooness Law. We finally got a settlement and it was a good, fair one. When the final numbers came in, I did have concerns and brought them up with Briant. He was so understanding and considerate! I was impressed that he never made a promise, but assured me he would do everything he could to make my concerns heard and get the numbers where I thought they should be. He put his words into action and came through, getting my settlement exactly where I thought it should be. In a world full of phony's, be a Briant!! Best client care around. Thank you for getting me the help I truly needed!
