Common Causes of Bicycle Accidents

Identifying the common causes of bicycle accidents is essential for determining liability and developing a robust legal strategy. Key factors often include:

  • Distracted Drivers: Motorists using mobile phones or other distractions while driving can fail to notice cyclists.
  • Failure to Yield: Drivers who do not yield the right of way at intersections can cause collisions with cyclists.
  • Reckless Driving: Speeding, aggressive maneuvers, and other reckless driving behaviors can lead to bicycle accidents.
  • Poor Road Conditions: Potholes, debris, and other road hazards can cause cyclists to lose control.
  • Dooring Incidents: Drivers opening car doors without checking for oncoming cyclists can lead to severe accidents.
  • Impaired Driving: Alcohol or drug use can impair a driver’s ability to operate a vehicle and see cyclists safely.

What Damages Can Be Recovered in a Bicycle Accident Claim?

You may be entitled to various damages if you have been involved in a bicycle accident. These damages can include:

  • Medical Expenses: Compensation for hospital bills, surgeries, rehabilitation, and other medical costs incurred due to the accident.
  • Lost Wages: Recovery of income lost due to an inability to work while recovering from injuries.
  • Pain and Suffering: Compensation for the physical discomfort and emotional distress experienced as a result of the accident.
  • Property Damage: Reimbursement for repairing or replacing your bicycle and any other personal belongings affected by the accident.
  • Future Medical Costs: Coverage for anticipated future medical treatments or ongoing care related to your injuries.

What is the Statute of Limitations for a Bicycle Accident Claim in Montana?

In Montana, you generally have three years from the accident date to file a personal injury claim, including those related to bicycle accidents. It's essential to adhere to this deadline, as missing it may forfeit your right to pursue compensation.
