Portland Bicycle Accident Lawyers
Fighting For Bicycle Accident Victims in Oregon
Generally, bicyclists have the same rights as pedestrians when crossing streets in crosswalks. We have seen a number of cases where clients are riding through a crosswalk with a “walk light” when a driver fails to keep a proper lookout and proceeds to make a turn or cross the intersection hitting client in the crosswalk.
We see cases where client is riding in a bike lane and a car drives into the bike lane and strikes client. Unfortunately, many drivers do not know the rules regarding right of way concerning bike lanes.
We have seen cases where client is riding on the shoulder of the road or in a bicycle lane next to stopped traffic and a vehicle makes a left turn through the stopped traffic and strikes the bicyclists or turns in front of client and client has no chance to stop and runs into the vehicle.
