Can I File a Lawsuit If I Was Injured in a Bicycle Accident?

Whether you can file a lawsuit when you’ve been involved in a bicycle accident is dependent on several things. First and foremost, were you yourself following the law?

Any bicycle on Colorado, Wyoming, or New Mexico highways and roads need to follow the same traffic laws that cars and trucks do. If you are found to be the sole person at fault for your own injuries, you may have a hard time filing a lawsuit.

However, if you were following the rules of the road and being careful and another driver caused your injuries, you have every right as anybody else would, to file a lawsuit against that driver to find justice for the injuries that you’ve suffered.

Determining who’s at fault in a bicycle accident is often a complicated matter. That’s why it’s important for anyone injured under those circumstances to contact an experienced personal injury lawyer who can investigate the cause of your injuries and determine what kind of lawsuit you might have.
