    Who Can I Hold Responsible for a Bicycle Accident?

    In a bicycle accident, you might hold several parties responsible, depending on what caused the accident. If a driver hit you, for example, they could be responsible. 

    This is especially true if they were driving carelessly, texting behind the wheel, or even speeding. If a problem with the road caused the accident, such as the presence of a huge pothole, the city or agency responsible for road maintenance might be at fault. 

    Sometimes, if a bike part failed and caused the crash, the manufacturer could bear some degree of responsibility. The best way to find out exactly who's responsible for the accident is by contacting a bicycle accident specialist from Morgan and Morgan. Our attorneys have access to powerful legal resources to investigate such cases, determine liability, and decide what to do next.

    • Medical bills 
    • lost wages
