Delaware County Bicycle Accident Attorney
Cyclists deserve safe roads and respect from motorists — but all too often, careless or distracted drivers cause serious accidents with devastating consequences. A bicycle crash can lead to catastrophic injuries, financial hardship, and emotional trauma for victims and their families.
At Wilk Law Firm, our Delaware County bicycle accident attorneys are dedicated to protecting the rights of injured cyclists. We help victims hold negligent drivers and other responsible parties accountable while pursuing the full compensation they deserve.
Common Causes of Bicycle Accidents in Delaware County
Bicycle accidents often happen because drivers fail to follow traffic laws or pay attention to cyclists sharing the road. Common causes include:
- Distracted driving, including texting or adjusting navigation systems
- Failure to yield at intersections or crosswalks
- Speeding or reckless driving
- “Dooring” incidents, when parked drivers open car doors into cyclists’ paths
- Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs
- Unsafe road conditions such as potholes, debris, or poor signage
No matter the cause, our firm investigates every detail to identify all liable parties — from negligent motorists to government entities responsible for unsafe roadways.
Serious Injuries from Bicycle Crashes
Cyclists have little protection in collisions with vehicles, meaning even a minor impact can cause major harm. Common injuries include:
- Head and traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- Spinal cord and back injuries
- Broken or fractured bones
- Internal bleeding and organ damage
- Severe lacerations, contusions, and road rash
- Permanent disability or disfigurement
These injuries often require extensive medical treatment, long recovery periods, and can lead to lifelong consequences. Our attorneys ensure that your claim reflects the full scope of your losses — both now and in the future.
Compensation Available for Bicycle Accident Victims
If you were injured in a bicycle accident, you may be eligible to recover compensation for:
- Medical bills and rehabilitation costs
- Lost wages and loss of earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Property damage to your bicycle and personal items
- Loss of quality of life
If a loved one was fatally injured in a cycling accident, our firm also handles wrongful death claims on behalf of families seeking justice and financial stability.
Proving Negligence in a Bicycle Accident Case
To succeed in a bicycle accident claim in Pennsylvania, it must be proven that:
- The driver or other party owed you a duty of care.
- That duty was breached through careless or reckless behavior.
- The breach caused your injuries or losses.
- You suffered verifiable damages as a result.
Our Delaware County bicycle accident lawyers use evidence such as police reports, traffic camera footage, witness statements, and expert analysis to build a strong, evidence-based case.
