Bicycle and Motorcycle Accidents Lawyers in Hamilton and the Surrounding Areas
Many different types of vehicles are allowed on Canadian roads, from large tractor-trailers and commercial vehicles to regular cars, motorcycles, and bicycles. While bicycles and motorcycles share the advantage of being nimble on the road, they offer the least physical protection to their riders. This leaves cyclists and motorcyclists especially vulnerable to severe injuries in the event of a collision. If you’ve been injured in an accident that was caused by someone else’s negligence, you may have the right to pursue compensation for your damages through a personal injury lawsuit.
Additionally, regardless of who is at fault, you are entitled to Statutory Accident Benefits from your insurance company. These benefits can help cover medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, and income replacement, but navigating the claims process can be overwhelming, especially when you're recovering from serious injuries.
Motorcycle and bicycle accidents are often caused by the negligence of other drivers, but there are also many other factors that can contribute to crashes. Debris on the road, poor road design, potholes, and obstructions can all create dangerous conditions. Motorcycles, in particular, are more susceptible to these hazards because they only have two tires and require extra effort to maintain balance. Unlike larger vehicles, motorcycles are smaller, lighter, and harder to see, particularly at night, which increases the likelihood of a collision.
In a motorcycle or bicycle accident, the resulting injuries can be life-changing, ranging from brain injuries and spinal cord trauma to broken bones. If you or someone you love has been involved in an accident, it’s important to seek legal advice early on to understand your rights and the steps to take for proper compensation.
