Cape Cod Bike Accident Attorney: Helping Bicyclists Injured by Negligent Drivers

With offices in Mid-Cape (Hyannis) and Upper Cape (Falmouth), we handle accidents throughout Cape Cod, Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket. We also have an office in Boston, serving Suffolk and Plymouth counties of Massachusetts.

During peak season on the Cape and Islands, it is common to see cyclists on the wrong side of the road, riding without helmets and generally behaving like tourists. While bike riders may not be familiar with the rules, local drivers are.

Motorists have a duty to proceed cautiously, especially in downtown Hyannis or other high-traffic areas. The defense may invoke comparative negligence of the bike rider, but bicyclists are considered pedestrians under the law and thus drivers have a high burden. Our attorneys focus on the negligence of the driver, such as speeding, failure to yield or distracted driving, that caused the accident or contributed to more severe injuries. If you have been involved in a hit-and-run accident, you may be entitled to file an injury lawsuit. We will help you through every step, including your insurance claims.

Prevent Accidents: Know the Safety Rules of the Road

Download Our Free Safety App and keep yourself and those you love safe and aware. Driving is a privilege in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, but as a licensed driver, you have responsibilities to keep others free from harm. This is why we have created the Aiken Safety App.

There are over two million car crashes in the U.S. every year resulting in 37,000 deaths and 2.35 million injuries according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). According to the NHTSA, over 30% could have been saved from serious or fatal injuries if they received help in time. This Safety App uses internal sensors of the user’s smartphone and automatically detects a car crash. Once the accident has been detected, our App sends a text and email notification to preselected contacts, enabling to be aware of the location, send an ambulance or other emergency help if necessary. Download the App for iPhone and Android devices at AikenandAikenpc.com or the App store.
