Bicycle Accident Causes
Unfortunately, many serious bicycle accidents involve inattentive car drivers. While collisions with cars account for only one third of all bicycle accidents, they account for the majority of catastrophic injuries and deaths. In most cases, the driver’s fault consists of failing to yield to the cyclist, backing out of a driveway, opening a car door as a cyclist rides by, running a stop sign, driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol or simple inattentiveness.

Minnesota Bicycle Accident Attorney Provides Steps to Take after a Bicycle Accident
As with any accident involving vehicles, there are a number of steps you need to take to ensure everything with your claim goes as smoothly as possible:

  • For your medical problems, see a doctor as soon as possible. Often times, an injury from a bike accident can be underestimated. You may feel fine now, but some injuries, particularly neck, back and head injuries, can become quite painful and debilitating in the long-term.
  • Get as much information as you can about your accident. Key items include the names, numbers and addresses of all the people involved, including witnesses. You will also need to keep track of insurance information and the reporting process. Make copies. This evidence will be helpful to your Minnesota bicycle accident attorney
  • Please do not talk to anyone about your Minnesota bicycle accident other than law enforcement personnel. Anything you say to insurance company representatives or investigators could make it harder for you to settle your claim. It is also a good idea not to sign anything, particularly some kind of release form, without talking to a Minnesota bicycle accident attorney first. This is just a smart way for you to protect yourself.
