Steps to Take After a Bicycle Crash
Knowing what to do can help protect your health and improve your chances of fair compensation.
Too often, cyclists aren’t seen until a bicycle crash happens. Even careful riders can be hurt when others aren’t paying attention. If you’ve been in a bicycle crash caused by a negligent or malicious driver, taking the following steps may help you build a strong case from the very beginning:
STEP 1. Get Medical Care
See a doctor right away—even if you feel fine. Some injuries may take hours or days to appear, and having medical records can protect your health and support your claim.
STEP 2. Notify Your Insurance Company
Report the accident but keep it brief. Share only the basic facts (who, where, when).
STEP 3. Call a Bicycle Crash Lawyer
The sooner you contact a lawyer, the better. We’ll handle the insurance companies and protect your rights—at no cost unless we win on your behalf.
STEP 4. Don't Post on Social Media About the Crash
We’ve all played the game of telephone, and we know how easily the message can get lost. The same goes for your story. Posting just a few pictures or short updates can paint an incomplete picture of what you’ve endured and what you truly deserve.
STEP 5. Don’t Settle Too Soon
Insurance companies often push for quick, low payouts. Always check with your lawyer before accepting any settlement.

Bicycle Crash FAQs
1. What Kinds of Compensation Can I Recover After a Bicycle Crash ?
If you’ve been injured in a bike crash you didn’t cause, you may recover compensation for monetary losses like medical bills, lost income, and property damage. You could also be compensated for pain and suffering and other non-monetary losses. A bicycle crash lawyer can assess your case and tell you how much it might be worth.
2. Should I Go to the Doctor After a Bicycle Crash Even if My Injuries Are Minor?
Yes. In some cases, a serious injury may show very few to no symptoms. If you don’t need to go to the emergency room, it’s still wise to visit an urgent care center or your primary care provider as soon as possible.
3. Do Most Bicycle Crash Claims Go to Court?
Most of the time, bicycle crash cases (and personal injury cases in general) are resolved outside of court. Your lawyer may be able to negotiate a fair settlement with the at-fault party’s insurance company. If no settlement can be reached, your case might go to court.
4. What Happens if I’m in a Bicycle Crash Caused by an Uninsured Driver?
If the driver who hit you doesn’t have insurance, recovering compensation can be challenging, but there are still options. Your lawyer will conduct a thorough investigation to uncover every possible source of recovery. This includes checking whether the driver has other coverage, such as personal or umbrella insurance, determining if they were working for someone at the time of the crash, and reviewing your own policy for uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage. It’s an exhaustive process, but your attorney will leave no stone unturned to help you find a path to recovery.
5. How Do I Pay My Medical Bills While Waiting for a Settlement?
How your medical bills are paid depends on your state’s insurance laws. In some states, no-fault insurance covers initial medical expenses, while in others it may not apply to motorcycle crashes. Health insurance often pays first, but a detailed review of all available coverage is essential to ensure your bills are properly handled and paid.
