Bicycle Accidents

A bicycle accident can be devastating to the victims.  In a large city such as Boston, there are many bicyclists out and about daily.  Police are accustomed to calls involving bicycle accidents and injuries.  If a bicyclist is injured in a crash with a vehicle, it is first important to determine who is at fault, or negligent in the collision.  If the vehicle operator was negligent, for example by failing to yield, the bicyclist may recover from the driver’s insurance policy.

Bicycle accident cases involve delicate issues of traffic and personal injury law and should never be handled without an attorney.  At the Jeffrey Glassman Injury Lawyers, we have assisted bicyclists injured in accidents in and around the Boston area.  If you are facing this situation, please call our office today for a free consultation to speak with one of our team members about your case.
