Securing Justice for Bicycle Accident Victims

Fighting for Injured Cyclists in Everett & Snohomish County

Cyclists have the right to share the road safely, but when careless drivers fail to yield, drive distracted, or ignore traffic laws, bicyclists are the ones who suffer the most severe injuries. Unlike motorists, bicyclists have little to no protection, making them vulnerable to broken bones, head trauma, spinal injuries, and even life-threatening accidents. If you or a loved one has been injured in a bicycle accident due to a reckless driver, dangerous road conditions, or a defective bike, you may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

At Foster Law Offices, we understand the challenges that injured cyclists face—from dealing with insurance companies that downplay injuries to overcoming bias against bicyclists in accident claims. Our Everett bicycle accident lawyers fight to protect cyclists' rights, ensuring that negligent drivers and insurance companies are held accountable. Whether you were hit in a designated bike lane, at an intersection, or in a parking lot, we will investigate your case, collect evidence, and fight for the maximum compensation possible.

Insurance companies often attempt to shift blame onto cyclists, arguing that they were not visible or failed to follow traffic laws. Our legal team knows how to counter these tactics, using traffic camera footage, witness statements, and accident reconstruction experts to build a strong case on your behalf. We will handle all the legal complexities, negotiations, and paperwork so you can focus on healing while we fight for the justice you deserve.

We work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing unless we win your case. If you or a loved one has been injured in a bicycle accident, don’t face the insurance companies alone. Contact us today for a free consultation, and let us fight for your rights, recovery, and financial future.

Common Causes of Bicycle Accidents

Bicycle accidents often happen due to driver negligence, poor road conditions, or hazardous intersections. Some of the most common causes include:

  • Distracted Driving – Drivers using phones, GPS, or eating may fail to see cyclists.
  • Failure to Yield – Many motorists ignore bicyclists’ right-of-way, leading to collisions.
  • Dooring Accidents – A parked driver opens their door into an oncoming cyclist’s path.
  • Speeding & Reckless Driving – High-speed accidents result in severe, life-threatening injuries.
  • Drunk or Impaired Driving – Drivers under the influence struggle to react to cyclists on the road.
  • Unsafe Road Conditions – Potholes, broken pavement, and debris make cycling dangerous.


If your accident was caused by another driver’s negligence, unsafe roads, or a defective bike, you may have a valid personal injury claim.

Serious Injuries in Bicycle Accidents

Because bicycles lack the protective barriers of cars, even a minor collision can cause life-changing injuries. Some of the most common injuries include:

  • Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI) – Even with a helmet, cyclists can suffer severe concussions or brain trauma.
  • Spinal Cord Injuries – Damage to the spine may cause partial or complete paralysis.
  • Fractures & Broken Bones – Cyclists frequently suffer broken arms, wrists, collarbones, and legs.
  • Road Rash & Soft Tissue Injuries – Skin abrasions and deep lacerations may require extensive treatment.
  • Internal Injuries & Organ Damage – Blunt force trauma can lead to life-threatening internal bleeding.


No matter how severe or minor your injuries may seem, seeking immediate medical attention and legal representation is critical.

Who Is Liable in a Bicycle Accident?

Determining liability in a bicycle accident case is essential to securing fair compensation. Potentially liable parties include:

  • Negligent Drivers – If a motorist was speeding, distracted, or failed to yield, they may be fully responsible.
  • Government Entities – If poor road conditions, missing signage, or dangerous intersections caused the crash, a city or state agency may be liable.
  • Bicycle Manufacturers – If the accident was caused by a defective bike, faulty brakes, or a mechanical failure, the manufacturer may be responsible.


Our team will conduct a thorough investigation to identify all responsible parties and hold them accountable.

Frequently Asked Questions About Bicycle Accidents

  • If you’re involved in a bicycle accident, take the following steps:

    • Seek medical attention immediately, even if you feel fine.
    • Call 911 and get a police report to document the accident.
    • Take photos of the crash scene, your bike, and your injuries.
    • Gather contact information from the driver and any witnesses.
    • Do not speak to the insurance company until you consult with a lawyer.
    • Contact a bicycle accident attorney to protect your rights.

Yes. Washington law requires cyclists under 18 to wear helmets, but failing to wear one does not automatically prevent you from recovering damages. However, the insurance company may argue that your injuries were worsened by not wearing a helmet.

In Washington, the statute of limitations for bicycle accident claims is three years from the accident date. If you miss this deadline, you may lose your right to seek compensation. It’s best to contact an attorney as soon as possible.

Washington follows comparative negligence laws, meaning you can still recover damages even if you were partially at fault. However, your compensation may be reduced based on your percentage of fault. Our attorneys will work to minimize any claims of blame against you.

The value of your case depends on:

  • The severity of your injuries
  • Medical expenses and rehabilitation costs
  • Lost wages and future earning potential
  • Pain and suffering damages


Every case is unique, but we fight to ensure you receive full and fair compensation.
