Who Can Be Held Liable in a Bicycle Accident Case

To establish a strong bicycle accident case, certain legal elements must be present. These elements help prove that another party is responsible for your injuries and should compensate you for your losses.

Here are four essential elements that must be met for a successful claim:

Duty of Care: The first step in establishing a case is proving that the party responsible for your injuries owed you a duty of care, meaning that they had a legal obligation to act in a manner that would prevent harm to others. 

Breach of Duty: Once the duty of care is established, you must show that the responsible party breached that duty. A breach occurs when the party fails to act as a reasonable person would in a similar situation: running a red light, failing to maintain a safe distance, or neglecting to provide proper warnings of potential hazards.

Causation: You must prove that the breach directly caused your injuries, showing that the accident wouldn’t have happened if the responsible party had not breached their duty. It's not enough to show that a duty was breached; you must demonstrate that this breach directly led to your injuries.

Damages: Finally, to have a valid claim, you must have suffered damages due to the accident. Damages refer to your incurred losses, such as medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and property damage. Without demonstrable damages, even if all other elements are present, you won't have a claim.

Gathering Evidence

After a bicycle accident, gathering evidence quickly is essential for building a strong case. Here’s what you should start collecting as soon as possible:

  • Police documentation: Obtain a copy of the police report from the accident. This official document provides details about the incident and can be critical evidence in your case.
  • Medical records: Keep track of all your medical records, including hospital visits, treatment notes, and prescriptions.
  • Eyewitness statements: If there were any witnesses to the accident, get their contact information and statements. 
  • Photo/video evidence: Take photos or videos of the bike lane accident scene, your injuries, and any damage to your bicycle and property.

We understand that gathering this evidence can be challenging, especially while recovering from bicycle accident injuries. Let our New York City personal injury attorney take the burden off your shoulders.
