Bicycle Accidents In New Jersey

Congested roadways, the high commuting cost, and parking restrictions have combined dramatically increased the popularity of bicycles and small motorized vehicles like mopeds over the past three decades. A convenient and inexpensive alternative, bicycles and mopeds are now the primary mode of transportation for many people in our state.

In light of this, cities have constructed special bike lanes, and many parks have made trails accessible to bicycles. Even some vehicle manufacturers are now offering bike racks as standard equipment. However, many automobile drivers do not respect bicyclists’ right to share the roads or, in some cases, simply do not see them at all.

If you or a family member has been seriously hurt in a bicycle accident, our New Jersey personal injury attorneys can help.

At Aiello, Harris, Abate Law Group PC, we represent families and individuals in New Jersey in bicycle accident cases. As a firm, we are fully committed to protecting our clients’ rights and seeking the best possible outcome for each person we represent. We have repeatedly demonstrated the ability to succeed in the most challenging and complex bicycle injury cases.

Bicycle Helmet Laws

Because New Jersey laws also place certain obligations on bicyclists themselves, including the requirement that minors wear safety helmets, it can be challenging to establish the negligence liability of motor vehicle drivers. Nonetheless, our experienced, knowledgeable attorneys and staff can undertake complex cases and prevail, convincing skeptics of the merits of a claim via credible, trustworthy evidence and objective test findings.

Insurance Coverage Issues - No Fault Statute

Something else to be aware of is that a bicycle rider is considered a pedestrian under New Jersey law for insurance purposes. Because of this, if you are injured by an automobile while operating a bicycle, you may be entitled to have your medical bills paid by your automobile insurance company. Under New Jersey’s “no-fault” statute, your automobile insurance company is generally responsible for paying the medical bills regardless of fault.

Contact us today

However, in order to establish a medical claim with your automobile insurance company, you must promptly notify the company of the accident and complete necessary paperwork. If this is not done, the claim may be denied. For a free initial consultation and an honest evaluation of your bicycle accident case, contact Aiello, Harris, Abate Law Group PC.

Call us today at (908) 561-5577 or contact us. Your initial consultation will take place over the phone, and you can schedule an appointment at one of our office locations across New Jersey.
