Common Bicycle Accident Injuries
Cyclists have little protection in a crash, which means even a low-speed impact can cause life-changing injuries. In our practice, we routinely see injuries such as:
- Head injuries and traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)
- Neck and spinal cord injuries, including paralysis
- Broken bones and fractures
- Deep lacerations, cuts and road rash
- Organ damage and internal bleeding
- Psychological trauma such as post-traumatic stress disorder and anxiety
These injuries can require surgery, physical therapy, and long-term care. Our Denver injury lawyers work with doctors and specialists to document your injuries and fight for the compensation you need to heal.
Damages Available After a Bicycle Accident
Bicycle crashes often result in severe injuries that leave cyclists with towering medical bills and long recovery times. Colorado law allows injured cyclists to recover compensation from negligent drivers and other responsible parties.
- Medical expenses: hospital bills, surgeries, rehabilitation, prescription medications and assistive devices
- Lost wages: compensation for time missed from work and loss of future earning capacity
- Pain and suffering: physical pain, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life and mental anguish
- Property damage: repair or replacement of your bicycle, helmet and other damaged gear
- Scarring and disfigurement: compensation for permanent marks or disfigurement
- Wrongful death damages: funeral costs and loss of companionship if a loved one is killed

The insurance company immediately began negotiating, and Jed was able to secure an unbelievably good settlement. I will never again attempt to take-on an insurance company without Strong Law in my corner. Thank you!"

How We Help With Your Bicycle Accident Claim
Common Bicycle Accident Scenarios We Handle
Steps to Take After a Bicycle Accident
- Call 911 and get medical help: Seek immediate medical care, even if injuries seem minor. Record the police report number.
- Move to safety: If possible, get yourself and your bike out of traffic to avoid further harm.
- Exchange information: Get the driver’s name, contact information, driver’s license number, insurance details, and vehicle description. Gather names and contact information for any witnesses.
- Document the scene: Take photos of the crash scene, your bicycle, your injuries, the vehicle involved, road conditions, traffic signals and any hazards.
- Preserve evidence: Save your damaged bicycle, helmet and gear. Do not repair or dispose of them until your case is resolved.
- Report the crash: Notify your insurance company and file a claim with the at‑fault driver’s insurer. Consider filing a crash report with Denver police if one was not taken at the scene.
- Avoid statements: Do not admit fault or discuss the accident on social media. Avoid giving recorded statements to insurance adjusters before consulting a lawyer.
- Contact a lawyer: Call our office as soon as possible to protect your rights and preserve evidence.
Following these steps will strengthen your case and help you recover the compensation you deserve.
