Common causes of bicycle accidents

A bicycle accident can have several causes:

• Motor vehicle collision: Cars, buses or scooters that do not yield the right of way or change lanes unexpectedly.
• Collision with another bicyclist: Often due to sudden braking, overtaking or insufficient distance keeping.
• Bicycle accident caused by a pedestrian: A pedestrian suddenly crossing, walking in the bike lane or not paying attention can lead to a collision or fall.
• Poor road surface or obstacles: Loose tiles, holes in the road or unexpected obstacles can cause falls.

2. Take pictures of the situation: Capture the accident, your injuries and any damage.
3. Seek medical attention: Always have your injuries checked by a doctor.
4. File an official report: To the police or the municipality, depending on the situation.
5. Contact a personal injury lawyer: This will help you avoid mistakes in the process and ensure that your claim stands strong.
