Common Causes of Bicycle Accidents in Grand Forks

Bicycling is a great way to get around — whether you’re riding through Sertoma Park or heading to classes at the University of North Dakota. But too often, cyclists suffer because of driver negligence. Some of the most common causes of bike accidents include:

• Distracted Driving: Texting, eating, or adjusting the radio takes attention off the road.
• Failure to Yield: Many drivers fail to give cyclists the right of way at intersections.
• Unsafe Lane Changes: Motorists often don’t check for cyclists before turning or merging.
  
• Opening Car Doors (“Dooring”): A sudden opened door can throw a cyclist into traffic.
  
• Speeding: Speeding drivers have less time to react and cause more severe injuries.
  
• Driving Under the Influence: Alcohol and drugs impair a driver’s ability to see and avoid cyclists.
  

No matter how your accident happened, Lowe Law Group is ready to investigate your case and hold the responsible parties accountable. You deserve justice — and we’ll fight to get it for you.

Serious Injuries We See in Bicycle Accidents

Bicyclists are extremely vulnerable. Without the protection of a vehicle frame, airbags, or seat belts, the injuries can be catastrophic, including:

• Head injuries and traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
  
• Broken bones and fractures
  
• Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
  
• Internal organ damage
  
• Cuts, road rash, and severe bruising
  
• Psychological trauma and PTSD
  

Some injuries require months or years of recovery. Some never fully heal.
At Lowe Law Group, we understand the long-term impact these injuries have on your health, your family, and your future. That’s why we don’t just look at today’s medical bills — we fight for your total recovery.

What Should You Do After a Bicycle Accident?

If you’ve been hit while riding your bike in Grand Forks, taking the right steps can protect your health and your legal rights:

1. Call 911 immediately. Get medical help and ensure a police report is created.
   
2. Gather evidence if possible. Take pictures of the scene, your bike, and your injuries.
   
3. Get driver information. Record names, contact details, and insurance info.
   
4. Talk to witnesses. Get their contact information if they saw the accident.
   
5. Seek medical treatment. Even if you feel okay, injuries may show up later.
   
6. Do not speak with insurance adjusters without a lawyer. They may try to minimize your claim.
   

The sooner you contact Lowe Law Group, the sooner we can start building your case. We’ll handle the paperwork, negotiations, and legal stress so you can focus on healing.

How Compensation Works in Bicycle Accident Cases

In North Dakota, injured cyclists may be entitled to compensation for:

• Medical expenses (emergency care, surgeries, physical therapy)
  
• Lost wages (time off work now and in the future)
  
• Pain and suffering (physical pain and emotional trauma)
  
• Property damage (bike repair or replacement)
  
• Disability or disfigurement (long-term impacts on your life)
  

Our team at Lowe Law Group will carefully evaluate every aspect of your case. We have a full-time medical doctor on staff and a network of top accident reconstruction specialists and economists if needed to calculate the full value of your claim.

We don’t settle for less than you deserve.
And remember: if we don’t win, you pay nothing.

Frequently Asked Questions About Bicycle Accidents

Compensation in bicycle accident cases may cover several types of damages, including:

• Do I have a case if I wasn’t wearing a helmet?
  Yes! North Dakota law does not require adults to wear helmets. While wearing a helmet is always a good idea for safety, not wearing one does not automatically make you responsible for the accident. Lowe Law Group can still fight for your full compensation.

• How long do I have to file a claim?
  In North Dakota, the statute of limitations for personal injury cases is generally six years from the date of the accident. However, it’s important to start your claim as soon as possible while evidence is fresh.

• What if the driver fled the scene?
  If you were injured by a hit-and-run driver, you may still be able to recover compensation through your own insurance policy. There also may be evidence that can be gathered such as security camera footage from a nearby business. Lowe Law Group can help you explore all your options.

• Can I still recover damages if I was partially at fault?
  Yes. North Dakota follows a “modified comparative fault” rule. That means if you were less than 50% at fault for the accident, you can still recover compensation (though it may be reduced based on your share of fault)..

Evidence can disappear. Witness memories can fade.
