Bicycle Accidents

Riding a bicycle is great for the environment and for your health.  However, it can be especially dangerous due to a lack of adequate bicycle lanes and negligent drivers.  In Maine, drivers are required to exercise due care by leaving a distance of at least 3 feet between the vehicle and the bicycle. 

Unfortunately, all too often, drivers don’t adhere to this law, and bicycle accidents are common. Determining fault in a bicycle accident can be a complex evaluation as there are many rules of the road for both bicyclists and drivers.  Bicycle accidents can result in severe injuries and significant emotional distress. At Okun Law PLLC, we understand the unique challenges that cyclists face on the road and are dedicated to helping victims navigate the complexities of personal injury claims to secure fair compensation.

 

Understanding Bicycle Accident Claims
Bicyclists are vulnerable road users, often at risk due to negligent drivers, poor road conditions, or inadequate signage. In the aftermath of an accident, it is crucial to establish liability and prove that another party's negligence caused your injuries.

Common Causes of Bicycle Accidents

  1. Distracted or reckless driving

  2. Failure to yield the right of way

  3. Driving under the influence

  4. Failure to maintain proper distance from bicyclist on the roadway
