Bicycle Accidents

Oregon Bicycle Accident Lawyer

Oregon is an ideal location for bicyclists. Every year, numerous races are held all over the Beaver State, and hundreds of thousands of other riders simply ride bikes just to soak in the scenic environment.

While Oregon offers a number of paths exclusive to bikes, bicyclists often share the same roads as motor vehicles. When a driver negligently operates his or her automobile, nearby bicyclists is susceptible to catastrophic—and occasionally fatal—injuries.

If you sustained severe injuries or your loved one was killed in a bicycle crash in Oregon, it is of the utmost importance that you retain legal counsel as quickly as possible. Need an Injury Lawyer Oregon represents individuals in communities all over Multnomah County, Lane County, Clackamas County, Deschutes County, Douglas County, Jackson County, Yamhill County, Washington County, Marion County, and many other nearby areas of the Centennial State.

Types of Bicycle Accident Injuries in Oregon

 Any collision between a bicyclist and a motor vehicle usually involves the person on the bike suffering far more serious injuries than any of the occupants of the automobile. Bicyclists are not afforded anywhere near the level of protection inherent to most passenger vehicles.

Some of the most common kinds of injuries bicyclists sustain in these cases include, but are not limited to:

  • Road Rash
  • Fractures (Broken Bones)
  • Herniated Discs
  • Internal Bleeding or Organ Damage
  • Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBIs)
  • Spinal Cord Injuries
  • Paralysis
  • Amputations
  • Disfigurement

Bicycle Accident Statistics in Oregon

According to the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT), 965 bicyclists were involved in motor vehicle crashes in 2015. Eight of these victims sustained fatal injuries.

Common Causes of Oregon Bicycle Accidents

In many cases, bicyclists are harmed as the result of negligent drivers. Some of the most frequent types of errors that motorists commit in such crashes include, but are not limited to:

  • Speeding
  • Distracted driving
  • Reckless driving
  • Driving under the influence (DUI) of alcohol or drugs
  • Failure to obey traffic signals or traffic control devices
  • Improper turns
  • “Dooring” accidents (motor vehicle occupants opening automobile doors without looking for oncoming cyclists)

A negligent driver’s insurance company is rarely quick to offer a settlement to an injured bicyclist. In fact, even when the fault seems to clearly be the motorist’s, an insurer may attempt to argue that the cyclist was somehow responsible for his or her injuries.

You do not have to deal with these agents on your own.  Need an Injury Lawyer Oregon can represent you in dealings with insurance companies and fight to hold the negligent party accountable.
