Providence Bicycle Accidents Attorney

1. Providence Bicycle Accidents Attorney Law Offices of Ronald J. Resmini, LTD. Riding a bicycle is a great way to stay fit and have fun. But cycling is more than just a recreational activity. For some people, it is an inexpensive and environmentally friendly way to get where they need to be. More and more people are committing to commuting to work by bicycle, at least when the weather allows. Others rely on bicycles as their primary means of transportation because they don’t own a car. Bicycles must usually share the roads with other vehicles, which means that drivers must be alert and avoid crowding or hitting a bicycle. A cyclist, unlike someone riding in a car or truck, has no protection in a crash, and can easily be killed or suffer a catastrophic injury when struck by a much heavier motor vehicle.  KINDS OF INJURIES Virtually any part of the human body may be injured in a bicyclist accident. A cyclist will often be thrown into the road from the impact, sometimes into the path of another car. Some types of injuries that may result when a car strikes a bicycle include:  Broken bones  Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)  Spinal cord injuries  Sprains and strains  Death

2.  WHO IS LIABLE FOR YOUR INJURIES? Whoever caused or contributed to the accident in which you were injured may be held liable. This might be an individual, a company, a government department responsible for road maintenance, or a manufacturer of defective equipment. Your lawyer will examine the circumstances of the accident and determine all parties who might have some liability for your injuries, for example:  The manufacturer, designer, or seller of the bike, if the accident was caused by an equipment defect.  A repair technician who failed to properly fix a problem or who created a dangerous condition during the repair process.  The driver or owner of a vehicle that hit your bicycle.  A person who opened a car door suddenly as you approached, causing you to slam into it.  A government department or contractor charged with the responsibility for maintaining the road.  The owner of an animal that attacked you on your bike.  Anyone who deposited or allowed litter, debris, or some dangerous obstacle in the road.  DON’T WAIT TO GET HELP If you were hurt in a cycling accident, you may be able to hold the responsible party accountable.
