Bicycle Crashes Are Not Just Accidents: Why a Bike Lawyer Matters
Cycling is more than a hobby or a mode of transportation—it’s a lifestyle. But when a cyclist is involved in a crash, the consequences can be severe, including traumatic brain injuries (TBI), broken bones, and internal organ damage. Bicycle crashes are not mere “bike accidents,” and understanding the difference can be the key to proper legal and medical support.
The Bike Law Network is a coalition of independent bicycle accident attorneys and law firms dedicated to helping cyclists. With over fifteen years of experience handling every type of bicycle crash, these lawyers combine legal expertise with a deep understanding of cycling culture. They also operate the Bike Law Foundation, a non-profit advocacy effort focused on cyclist safety and rights.
Why a Bicycle Lawyer is Different
Unlike general personal injury attorneys, bicycle lawyers approach cases with firsthand knowledge of cycling. They understand the physical and emotional toll of being hit by a motor vehicle and the importance of getting back on the bike. From working with police to gathering facts, guiding medical treatment, negotiating with insurance companies, and pursuing litigation when necessary, Bike Law attorneys advocate for every step of a cyclist’s recovery.
Advocates for All Cyclists
Bike Law attorneys support commuters, racers, beginners, and seasoned riders alike. They fight for cyclists’ rights by holding negligent drivers accountable—whether those drivers are texting, speeding, driving under the influence, or opening car doors into bike lanes. Their work helps protect the road for everyone, promoting safety and awareness among drivers and cyclists alike.
Through education, pro bono legal guidance for cycling clubs, and community outreach, Bike Law attorneys go beyond legal representation—they are advocates for a safer cycling world.
If you ride a bicycle, for sport, commute, or leisure, the Bike Law Network is here to protect your rights and your safety.
