Bicycle Accident Lawyers in Atlantic Canada

CLG Injury Law represents cyclists injured in bicycle accidents across Atlantic Canada, including New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island. Bicycle collisions often result in serious injuries due to the limited protection available to riders. Our experienced bicycle accident lawyers focus exclusively on personal injury law, helping injured cyclists pursue full compensation after motor vehicle collisions, unsafe road conditions, or negligent drivers.

Whether your accident occurred in Moncton, Saint John, Fredericton, Halifax, Charlottetown, or a surrounding community, our team works to protect your rights and hold negligent parties accountable.

Bicycle Accident Claims and Liability

Bicycle accident claims often involve disputes over driver fault, right-of-way, and road safety. Drivers may fail to yield, open car doors into traffic, pass too closely, or drive while distracted. In some cases, municipalities or other third parties may share responsibility due to unsafe road design or poor maintenance.

Our bicycle accident lawyers investigate liability thoroughly, review police reports and witness statements, and build strong claims backed by medical and accident reconstruction evidence.

Common Causes and Resulting Injuries

Bicycle accidents are commonly caused by distracted driving, failure to yield, speeding, unsafe lane changes, and poor road conditions. Because cyclists have little physical protection, injuries can be severe and may include traumatic brain injuries, fractures, spinal injuries, internal injuries, road rash, and long-term disability.

Our bicycle accident lawyers pursue compensation that reflects both immediate medical costs and long-term impacts on your life.

Compensation Available in Bicycle Accident Claims

Injured cyclists may recover compensation for medical expenses, lost income, rehabilitation costs, pain and suffering, and out-of-pocket expenses. In serious cases, claims may also include future care costs, reduced earning capacity, permanent impairment damages, and long-term support needs.

Early legal advice helps ensure important evidence is preserved and deadlines are met.
