Bicycle Safety

Riding a bicycle for transportation or leisure can be a very enjoyable experience. However, it is important to remember how vulnerable you are on the road. Bicyclists are virtually defenseless in the event of a collision with a motor vehicle and are susceptible to severe injury. It is important that individuals who ride a bike familiarize themselves with precautions that can help to avoid unnecessarily compromising their safety.

If you have been in a bicycle accident that was caused by another party’s negligence or recklessness, you may be able to sue for financial compensation. At Levinson Axelrod, P.A., we are committed to ensuring that you do not have to shoulder the financial and medical burdens of an accident that was not your fault. To inquire about our services, contact one of our New Jersey bicycle accident attorneys by calling 800-346-5529.

Accident Prevention and Protection

There are many preventive measures that one can take to limit the likelihood of a bicycle accident. However, it is also important to know how to protect yourself in an accident if one does occur. These safety precautions include:

  • Use both front and rear lights when you are biking after dark
  • Avoid biking in drivers’  blind spots
  • Ride in bike lanes if available
  • Do not ride while intoxicated
  • Always wear a helmet
  • If you can control your fall, try to fall away from traffic

Unfortunately, there is little that you can do to escape the negligent or reckless behaviors of a motorist and could suffer serious harm as a consequence of an accident. A knowledgeable and experienced New Jersey bicycle accident attorney can help you to determine the possible merits of legal action in your case.
