Bicycle Accidents

More and more people are turning to bicycles as a mode of transportation. Not only are people riding bicycles on the weekends for pleasure, many use bicycles as primary transport. Many ride bicycles on the roadway as a form of exercise and conditioning. No matter the reason for operating a bicycle on the roadway, the law is clear that bicyclists do have rights.

Unfortunately, motor vehicle operators often fail to recognize the rights of bicyclists on the roadway. Drivers often fail to yield the right-of-way, or are otherwise unwilling to share the road with those on two wheels. The state and local municipalities are less than diligent when it comes to maintaining roadways for the safe operation of bicycles. Recently, partner Tom Sacchetta secured a 5.5 million dollar verdict on behalf of bicyclists who suffered serious traumatic brain injury as a result of the defective and ill-maintained condition of the state roadway on which he was riding.
