Lawyer for Injuries in Bike Accidents in Leesburg, VA

Personal Injury Car Accidents Truck Accident Wrongful Death

While there are many benefits to using a bicycle for transportation rather than driving, cyclists are at risk of being seriously injured if they are struck by vehicles. Even a low-speed collision can result in devastating harm to a bicyclist.

At Whitlock Law, we represent victims of bicycle accidents in Leesburg, Virginia, helping them hold negligent drivers accountable. Our attorney can provide critical support by investigating the cause of the collision, identifying all liable parties, and navigating the legal process on behalf of the injured cyclist. We are dedicated to protecting the rights of injured cyclists and advocating for the compensation they deserve.

Common Causes of Bicycle Accidents in Leesburg

Motorists may fail to recognize the rights of cyclists, or they may put cyclists at risk through unsafe driving behaviors. Even though bicycles have the right to share the road, some drivers refuse to recognize these rights, and they may engage in unsafe actions that lead to accidents and injuries. Some of the reasons these accidents may occur include:

Failure to Yield: A driver may refuse to give the right-of-way to a bicycle at an intersection. They may strike a bicyclist while proceeding through an intersection or making a turn.
Distracted Driving: Drivers who engage in activities such as texting or making phone calls while behind the wheel may not notice cyclists who are sharing the road, and they may strike a bicycle and inflict serious injuries.
Unsafe Passing: Drivers who are following bicycles may become impatient and attempt to pass them without giving them enough room. A driver may strike a bicycle when attempting to pass within the same lane, or they may run a cyclist off the road and cause them to collide with roadside obstacles.
Speeding and Reckless Driving: Drivers who violate speed limits may not have enough time to react to the movements of bicycles and avoid collisions. Other forms of reckless driving, such as weaving through traffic, could lead to accidents when drivers do not notice bicycles on the road.
Driving Under the Influence: Alcohol or drug impairment can affect a driver's judgment and their ability to control their vehicle. Drunk drivers may not notice bicycles, or they may be unable to respond to a cyclist's movements and avoid a collision.
Dooring Incidents: A driver or passenger may open the door of their vehicle into the path of a bicyclist. This can knock a cyclist off their bike or push them into traffic, which can result in serious injuries.

Our lawyer will thoroughly investigate an accident to determine the cause. We will gather evidence such as police reports, traffic camera footage, and witness statements to establish the driver's liability and ensure that an injured cyclist can recover compensation for their damages.

Catastrophic Injuries Pedestrian Accidents Traumatic Brain Injuries

Injuries in Bicycle Accidents

Because bicyclists have little protection other than a helmet, collisions with motor vehicles often result in serious or life-threatening injuries, such as:

Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBIs): Helmets provide some protection for cyclists, but the impact with a vehicle, the ground, or other obstacles may still lead to concussions or more severe brain trauma.
Broken Bones: Fractures in the arms, legs, ribs, or collarbones can occur in bicycle crashes.
Soft Tissue Damage: Cyclists may experience torn ligaments, muscle injuries, or road rash when they are thrown onto the pavement. These injuries can be very painful, and long recovery times may be needed.
Spinal Cord Injuries: Being struck by a vehicle or landing on the ground can damage the spine and the spinal cord. In some cases, these injuries may result in paralysis, and lifelong care may be required.
Internal Injuries: The impact with a vehicle or the ground can cause damage to organs, or a person may experience internal bleeding, requiring emergency medical intervention.
Facial Injuries and Scarring: Falls or impacts can lead to broken teeth, jaw fractures, and permanent facial scars.

Our considerable experience and focus on personal injury law can give you a significant advantage, because we will use our knowledge and skills to protect your best interests. If insurers do not offer full compensation through settlement negotiations, Attorney Whitlock is a force to be reckoned with in the courtroom.
