Protecting Injured Cyclists Across Connecticut
Unfortunately, bicycle accidents are not uncommon in Hartford and Connecticut overall as many people choose to take to the roads on their bicycles not only for exercise and recreation, but also as a "green" mode of transportation. Connecticut averages about 650 bicycle accidents per year with 85% of those accidents resulting in injury.
Despite safety precautions by bicyclists, collisions with cars inevitably occur, often due to driver negligence, failure to share the road, or disobeying right-of-way laws.
The outcomes of bicycle accidents involving cars or trucks almost always result in severe and debilitating injuries and could lead to long-term complications and financial losses for victims and their families.

Investigations of bicycle accidents can be complicated by:
- Public and law enforcement bias against cyclists
- Insurance companies seeking quick, low settlements
- Complex insurance coverage issues
- Difficulty proving liability without proper evidence

Why You Need an Experienced Bicycle Accident Attorney
