Cycling is a healthy and eco-friendly way to get around, but for many South Jersey riders, it can also be dangerous. Careless drivers often fail to watch for cyclists, leading to serious crashes that cause devastating injuries.
At Lackey & Miller, LLC, Jeremy Lackey and Derek Miller bring over 20 years of combined litigation experience to fight for bicycle accident victims and their families. As former prosecutors and lifelong South Jersey residents, we know how to hold negligent drivers and insurance companies accountable.
Common Causes of Bicycle Accidents
Bicycle crashes often occur because of driver negligence, including:
- Failing to yield at intersections or crosswalks
- Distracted driving (texting, phone use, eating)
- “Dooring” accidents (when a car door opens into a cyclist’s path)
- Unsafe lane changes or passing too closely
- Speeding or reckless driving
- Running red lights or stop signs
Even a low-speed impact between a car and a bike can cause catastrophic injuries.
Injuries From Bicycle Accidents
Cyclists are especially vulnerable because they lack the protection of a vehicle. Common injuries include:
- Broken bones and fractures
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- Spinal cord damage
- Internal organ injuries
- Road rash and deep lacerations
- Permanent scarring or disability
These injuries often require long-term medical care, rehabilitation, and time away from work.
Compensation for Bicycle Accident Victims
If you’ve been injured in a bike accident, you may be entitled to recover damages for:
- Medical expenses and rehabilitation
- Future treatment needs
- Lost income or reduced earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Property damage (bike and gear)
We work with medical experts and accident reconstruction specialists to build strong cases that maximize recovery.
