Common Causes of Bicycle Accidents Leading to Liability

Various circumstances can result in bicycle accidents where another party might be held liable through legal action:

• Being “doored” by a car door suddenly opening
• Being struck by a speeding or distracted driver
• Crashing due to road defects
• Sustaining injuries while working as a cyclist
• Hit-and-run incidents or accidents involving uninsured motorists
• Injuries caused by “road rage” or intentional targeting

Compensation After a Bicycle Accident

Although cyclists typically don’t carry insurance, responsible parties—such as drivers, municipalities, or businesses—do. If a bicycle accident results in severe injuries, lost wages, medical bills, or even death, it is essential for victims and their families to seek full compensation.

In New York, comparative fault laws apply to bicycle accidents, meaning that even if a cyclist is partially at fault, they can still receive compensation proportional to their level of responsibility. For instance, if a jury awards $100,000 in damages but finds the cyclist 20% at fault, the compensation would be adjusted to $80,000.
