Understanding Cyclists’ Rights and Legal Protections in New Jersey

Newark Bicycle Accident Lawyer

New Jersey law recognizes the importance of protecting cyclists by granting them the same rights as motor vehicle drivers. Cyclists have the right to use most public roadways, and drivers are legally obligated to exercise caution, maintain safe passing distances, and yield when appropriate. Cyclists are also responsible for obeying traffic signals, riding in designated bike lanes when available, and equipping their bicycles with lights and reflectors for visibility. These mutual obligations aim to create safer roads for everyone.

What Are Common Causes of Bicycle Accidents?

Bicycle accidents are often the result of negligence or recklessness, whether by drivers, government entities, or even manufacturers of defective bike parts. Understanding the cause of an accident is critical for establishing liability. 

Distracted Driving

Distracted drivers, whether texting, adjusting their GPS, or engaging in other activities, often fail to see cyclists until too late. These split-second lapses can have catastrophic consequences for vulnerable road users.

Failure to Yield

Cyclists often have the right of way at intersections or crosswalks. Yet drivers who fail to yield to cyclists remain a leading cause of collisions. Such accidents are prevalent in urban areas like Newark.

Unsafe Road Conditions

Potholes, uneven pavement, and debris on the road can cause cyclists to lose control and crash. In these cases, liability may extend to government agencies responsible for road maintenance.

Aggressive or Impaired Driving

Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol and engaging in aggressive behaviors like speeding create hazardous conditions for everyone, particularly cyclists. When a driver is impaired, they lose their cognitive thinking faculties, increasing the likelihood of accidents. Similarly, when a driver engages in aggressive driving behavior, it is harder for them to make rational decisions and have enough time to avoid an accident.

What Can I Recover If I File a Cycling Accident Claim?

Bicycle accidents can profoundly impact every aspect of a victim’s life, from physical and mental health to financial stability. Securing fair compensation is essential to ensuring victims have the resources they need to recover. Types of damages available include:

  • Gastos médicos. Bicycle accident injuries often require extensive medical care, including emergency treatment, surgeries, physical therapy, and ongoing rehabilitation. Our Newark bicycle accident attorneys work to ensure that your claim covers both past and future medical costs.
  • Lost wages and diminished earning capacity. When injuries prevent you from working temporarily or permanently, you deserve compensation for salarios perdidos. If you cannot return to your previous job, we’ll also seek damages for diminished earning potential.
  • Dolor y sufrimiento. En physical pain and emotional trauma caused by a bicycle accident are significant. While these damages are more difficult to quantify, our team is skilled at demonstrating their impact on your quality of life.
  • Property damage. Bicycles and personal belongings damaged in the accident should also be replaced or repaired as part of your claim.

We understand the actual cost of a severe accident goes beyond medical bills. By carefully assessing all aspects of your case, we aim to maximize the compensation you receive.

How Can a Newark Bike Wreck Lawyer Help Me?

After a bicycle accident, partnering with an experienced cyclist accident lawyer can make a significant difference in the outcome of your claim. At Glugeth & Pierguidi, P.C., we provide comprehensive support at every stage of your case. Here’s how we can assist.

Thorough Case Evaluation and Legal Guidance

We start by reviewing the details of your accident to determine the strength of your claim. Our Newark bike accident lawyers will explain your legal options and guide you on the best path forward.

Investigación y recogida de pruebas

Building a compelling case requires meticulous attention to detail. We gather all relevant evidence, including accident reports, witness statements, medical records, and any available video footage. If necessary, we consult accident reconstruction experts to strengthen your claim.

Negociar con las compañías de seguros

Insurance companies often prioritize their bottom line over fair compensation. Our attorneys have extensive experience negotiating with insurers and will fight to ensure you receive a settlement that truly reflects your losses.

Litigation and Trial Advocacy

While many cases settle out of court, we are always prepared to take your case to trial if necessary. Our team has a proven track record of success in the courtroom and will work tirelessly to secure the maximum compensation.

How Long Do I Have to Bring My Bicycle Accident Claim?

In New Jersey, personal injury claims, including those arising from bicycle accidents, must typically be filed within dos años of the accident. While exceptions exist to this rule, such as claims involving minors, waiting too long can jeopardize your ability to recover compensation. Quickly acting is not only a matter of meeting the legal deadline—it also strengthens your claim. Evidence, such as photographs, witness accounts, and medical records, is easier to obtain when pursued soon after the accident. Waiting too long can result in lost opportunities to gather crucial information that supports your case.

Consulting a Newark bike wreck lawyer as soon as possible allows you to explore your options and build a strong case before the deadline passes.
