Tulsa is a vibrant bike riding community. There are so many reasons to travel around Tulsa on a bicycle. Whether you are running a quick errand or taking in the beautiful Tulsa scenery, bicycles are a cost-effective and eco-friendly transportation option. Bicycling also provides many health benefits, such as enhanced cardiovascular fitness, increased strength, and reduced stress.
While the benefits are numerous, sharing busy roads with larger vehicles comes with significant risks. Bicycle accidents often lead to severe injuries, which, of course, can come with devasting financial burdens. If you find yourself in this situation, partnering with a Tulsa bicycle accident lawyer could make all the difference. At LaCourse Law, our team of dedicated personal injury attorneys could help you explore your legal options and get the fair compensation you deserve. Reach out today to learn more.
Bicyclists face a unique risk on the roadways because they are more exposed than motorists in a car. Unlike drivers shielded by a vehicle’s metal frame, seatbelts, airbags, and other safety equipment, bicycle riders do not have the same protections and are directly vulnerable to impacts. This frequently results in serious injuries that can include:
Recovering from such injuries often involves extensive medical care and financial burden. An attorney from our Tulsa team could help you determine the full extent of how a bicycle accident has impacted your life to craft a settlement demand that accurately reflects your needs.
While bicycles are considered vehicles under Oklahoma law, drivers sometimes become impatient with cyclists and their slower relative speed. Because of this, drivers may fail to respect cyclists’ legal rights on the road. Traffic violations—such as unsafe passing or following too closely—are common. For example, Oklahoma’s three-foot passing rule is meant to protect cyclists, but drivers often neglect this regulation, creating unnecessary risks.
Hazardous road conditions are another danger to cyclists. Common hazards such as potholes, poorly maintained bike lanes, and road debris increase the likelihood of accidents.
Other causes of bike wrecks include drunk or distracted driving, failure to yield, and car or bicycle manufacturer defects. Regardless of the cause of your bicycle accident, our Tulsa attorneys could complete a complementary review of the details of the crash to determine who is at fault and what legal options are available.
