Personal Injury Law Firm in Benton County, Oregon
Bicycle Accident Injury Attorneys in Corvallis, Oregon Help You Recover
Oregon is one of the most beautiful states in the nation, and bicycling is one of the best ways to see it up close. Cycling is also a good way to exercise, and an environmentally friendly way to get to work. However, Department of Transportation data shows that injuries and deaths from bicycle accidents are increasing each year. When in an accident, especially with a car or truck, bicyclists are more prone to catastrophic injury as they have very little protection. Know your rights as a cyclist.
If you suffered injury in a bike accident, contact the Corvallis personal injury lawyers at Evashevski Elliott PC. Our legal team investigates your accident thoroughly — examining the scene of the accident, inspecting your bicycle for damages, speaking to any witnesses, and countering the negligent party’s claims that you were the one at fault.
Typical Bicycle Accident Injuries
What might cause minor injury to someone in a vehicle can cause major or traumatic injury to someone on a bike. Even just a bump from a car can throw you from your bicycle into traffic or onto the pavement, as you are not secured to your bike in any way.
Our personal injury law firm works with many bicycle accident clients and helps them get the compensation they’re owed — medical costs, lost wages, pain and suffering, and more. The most common reasons our personal injury law firm sees for bicycle accidents include:
- Cars making left-hand turns in front of cyclists
- Drivers inattention to bicyclists
- Drivers who pull out into intersections or from parking spaces without looking
- Driver failure to look both ways after a stop sign
- People driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
As bicycling becomes more and more prevalent in Oregon, drivers must learn to share the road. As a cyclist, you have certain rights and privileges, and our personal injury attorneys work for you to keep those rights protected.
