Bicycle Accidents

Cyclists share the road with cars, trucks, and buses — but they face unique risks that drivers often overlook. A collision can happen in seconds, leaving a rider with serious injuries, damaged equipment, and a long recovery ahead. Our office understands the challenges cyclists face and the legal complexities that come with proving fault in a bike crash.

Unique Dangers for Cyclists:

• “Dooring” accidents when a parked driver opens their door into a cyclist’s path
• Drivers failing to check blind spots before turning or changing lanes
• Unsafe passing that forces cyclists off the road
• Road hazards, such as potholes or debris, that are dangerous for bikes but minor for cars
• Drivers ignoring Maryland’s safe passing laws

Your Rights as a Cyclist
Maryland law requires motorists to give cyclists at least three feet of clearance and to yield when appropriate. When a driver fails to follow these rules — or drives recklessly — they can be held liable for your injuries and losses.

How We Support Cyclists After a Crash:

• Detailed accident investigation, including vehicle damage, bike inspection, and GPS or fitness app data
• Reviewing traffic camera footage and interviewing witnesses
• Consulting medical professionals to fully assess injury impact
• Handling insurance company negotiations so you can focus on recovery
• Litigating when necessary to secure full and fair compensation
