Contrary to popular belief and unlike pedestrians, bicyclists do not have the right of way at an intersection.
Like motorists, bicyclists must follow the same rules of the road.
If the light is red, a bicyclist must stop and wait for the light to turn green.
If turning, hand signals are required, just as a turn signal would be required on a motorized vehicle.
Prior to riding a bicycle, it is important to know that the same rules of the road must be followed.
It is important not only for your safety but for the safety of those around you, too.
Even if you were partly at fault for the accident, you can still pursue compensation for the losses you sustained as a result of the accident.
Missouri recognizes the legal “comparative negligence” practice which means that if you are 10% liable for an accident, you can still receive compensation minus the 10% you were at fault.
It is important to contact a bicycle accident attorney St.
Louis immediately to discuss your options further.
Bicycles are non-motorized vehicles meaning they do not qualify under current drinking and driving laws.
However, we strongly recommended you do not ride a bike while drinking as you could seriously yourself and others in the process.
It is also possible to receive a public intoxication ticket from local law enforcement.
Bike trips account for less than 1% of all trips in the United States, yet bicyclists are at a greater risk of injury than drivers of motor vehicles, according to the CDC.
Bicycle accidents, especially collisions with vehicles, are common in metropolitan St. Louis and the surrounding areas.
The highest concentration of St. Louis bicycle accidents occurs in the downtown area, although a large frequency also occurs near Saint Louis University’s campus and Forest Park.
The high occurrence of bicycle accidents in these areas is likely due to 2 things.
Unlike other major cities, St. Louis does not offer an abundance of bicycle lanes, which can be incredibly dangerous for bicyclists.
Due to the lack of bike lanes, St. Louis bicyclists are forced to share the road with automobiles, thus causing more collisions with vehicles.
The statistics do not lie – bicycle accidents can be harmful, and potentially fatal, for riders.
If you or loved one suffered any personal injuries from a bicycle accident, it is important to contact a St. Louis bicycle accident attorney immediately.
The legal team at TorHoerman Law offers a free, no-obligation consultation to discuss your options.Bicycle accident statistics:
To alleviate the risk of danger, it is important to be aware of and follow all guidelines established to keep you safe.
State law in Missouri states that bicyclists are not required to wear helmets, but most cities within the state have laws established saying otherwise. In St. Louis County, as well as St. Charles County, anyone under the age of 16 is required to wear a helmet.
The U.S. Government has established safety standards for helmets. A helmet should be certified by the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).
The most common injury sustained in a bike accident is head trauma, but a helmet could potentially save you from life-threatening head injuries.
While this might be surprising to most motorists, Missouri’s safe passing law states that cyclists can use the road.
Bicycles may also ride on sideways unless in a business district or in a busy area, such as downtown St. Louis. However, there are exceptions to the law – cyclists are not permitted to occupy travel lanes of interstate highways and specific areas designated as prohibited by local law.
Bicyclists must stop at red lights, yield to pedestrians, use a turn signal, or in this case, hand signal, when turning, and ride on the right-hand side of the road. Any rules followed by a vehicle should also be followed by a bicyclist.
Additionally, brakes are required on all bicycles and reflective lights are required if biking between dusk and dawn. Failure to have either of those can result in fines.
The laws designated by the State of Missouri and the City of St. Louis are designed to keep cyclists safe.
As a cyclist, it is important to familiarize yourself with all laws and guidelines prior to riding.
The knowledge could potentially save you from a serious St. Louis bike accident.
Since 2000, the City of St. Louis has been committed to creating a safe and supportive environment for bicyclists. Bike St. Louis is a grassroots organization created to tackle that initiative.
Since its inception, Bike St. Louis has worked to accomplish the goal through various “phases” designed to bring more biking resources to the area.
In April 2014, the City of St. Louis voted to enact Phase III of Bike St. Louis. Per the ordinance, approximately 56 miles of existing Bike St. Louis routes were updated and approximately 52 miles of new Bike St. Louis route were created. This was the most recent push to create a safe, reliable city for bicyclists.
However, there are more initiatives in the works as the organization is always striving for a safe environment for bicyclists.
For a list of bicycle routes and greenways, visit the Bike St. Louis map.
Injuries are often more substantial when a cyclist is involved because there is less material to protect the cyclist from injury.
Unlike a car accident, there is no protective barrier. Typically, the liability of the accident falls on the motor vehicle.
Bicyclists have just as much right to the road as motorists and even must follow the same rules of the road as described above.
However, many motorists are either unaware or ignore this fact which can lead to serious St. Louis bike accidents. Accidents involving cyclists often are a result of three things.
According to the CDC, most bicyclist deaths occur in urban areas and at non-intersection locations.
As a bicyclist, it is important to research the best routes to take and the most dangerous stretches to avoid.
If an accident does occur, it is likely that substantial injuries or death will occur.
As mentioned before, accidents involving bicycles often result in serious injuries because the bicyclist is unprotected from the elements. Specific injuries that can be the basis of a personal injury lawsuit can include, but are not limited to:
It is important to call 911 and seek medical attention right away if any injuries do occur.
Going to the hospital and seeing a doctor immediately can help to diagnose and treat your injuries.
Your well-being and recovery are the most important things after an accident.
Bicycle accidents can be complicated and stressful situations to deal with if you are not prepared.
By following a series of steps, you will ensure everything is handled properly and efficiently.
Once discovery has concluded and all evidence has been collected, the claim will proceed by filing a lawsuit and negotiating with the other parties involved.
In this case, the St. Louis bike accident lawyer will act on your behalf and communicate with the other parties involved in hopes of agreeing to a settlement.
The civil lawsuit process is lengthy and detailed. Most personal injury cases result in settlements as it is often the most efficient way of resolving a lawsuit.
If a settlement cannot be agreed on, the case will proceed to trial where a judge or jury will decide the outcome.
Trials are less likely to occur, but it is important to note that either is possible in a lawsuit.
The decision to hire an attorney to represent you is an important one and should not be taken lightly.
You should seek representation from an experienced St. Louis bicycle accident lawyer with the resources and commitment necessary to ensure the best outcome for your case.
You should feel comfortable asking your potential St. Louis bicycle accident lawyer any questions you deem necessary before hiring them to represent you.
Some questions you consider asking can include:
