Bike Accidents

Understanding Bike Accidents in The District of Columbia and Virginia

‍

Annandale is a busy area with a growing number of cyclists on the road. Unfortunately, many drivers still fail to look for bikes when making turns, changing lanes, or pulling out of driveways. This lack of attention often leads to serious collisions, and cyclists are the ones who suffer the most.

‍

What to Do After a Bike Accident

‍

The steps you take after a bike accident can have a major impact on your recovery and your legal claim. Here's what we recommend:

‍

• Seek medical attention right away, even if your injuries seem minor
• Call the police and ask for an accident report
• Document the scene with photos of the bike, vehicle, and road conditions
• Get the driver’s contact and insurance information
• Talk to any witnesses and write down what they saw
• Contact a local bike accident lawyer as soon as possible

‍

Palacio Law, PLLC is here to help you navigate the next steps and protect your legal rights from the start.

‍

What Are Common Bike Accident Injuries?

‍

Bike accidents often lead to injuries that are more severe than those in car crashes. You may be dealing with:

‍

• Broken bones
• Road rash or deep cuts
• Concussions or traumatic brain injuries
• Spinal cord injuries
• Internal injuries

‍

These injuries can leave you out of work and facing long-term rehabilitation. We help you pursue full compensation, not just for today’s bills but for your ongoing recovery and future needs.
