We All Love Biking But Be Safe Out There!

Whether it’s for a leisurely ride, to get to work or a form of exercise, thousands of people cruise around on bicycles every day. Bicycles can be one of the most enjoyable modes of transportation, but they can be dangerous as well, particularly in congested areas.

Cycling has become more popular in recent years, with the national “Go Green” and “Get Fit” initiatives. As such, there has been an increase in bicycle accidents resulting in serious injury and death in Ontario, Canada.

In many cases a bicycle accident results from a motorist’s negligence or inattentiveness while operating a vehicle.

Many injured bicyclists do not get fair treatment from the insurance companies.  Recent studies show that settlements for injuries suffered in cars are up to 40% higher than for the same type of injuries suffered by cyclists.

common questions and answers about Bicycle Accidents.

Get answers to common questions about Bicycle Accidents claims in Ontario, including insurance coverage, time limits, compensation, and your legal rights after a rideshare accident.
Still have questions?
What should I do immediately after a bicycle accident with a car?

Call 911 if you’re injured or if the driver is aggressive, impaired, or tries to leave. Get medical help right away—bike crashes can cause concussions, fractures, and internal injuries that aren’t obvious at first.

If you can, also:

  • Get the driver’s name, license plate, and insurance details
  • Take photos/video of the scene (bike lane, intersection, road hazards) and your injuries
  • Get witness names and contact info
  • Ask for the police occurrence number / report details
Should I go to the hospital even if I feel okay after a bike crash?

Often, yes. Many cyclists feel adrenaline and don’t notice symptoms until later. Getting checked quickly helps protect your health and creates a medical record connecting your injuries to the collision.

What if I was hit in a bike lane or while riding on the shoulder?

You may still have a strong claim. Drivers have a duty to watch for cyclists and leave safe passing distance. Evidence like photos of lane markings, vehicle positions, and witness statements can be critical.

What if the driver says it’s my fault because I “shouldn’t have been there”?

Don’t argue at the scene and don’t admit fault. Fault can be complicated and is based on the facts, not what someone says in the moment. A lawyer can help protect you from unfair blame and preserve evidence.

Can I get compensation if I wasn’t wearing a helmet?

This is a common question. Not wearing a helmet does not automatically mean you can’t pursue compensation, but it may affect how certain injuries are assessed. The details matter—especially with head injury claims.

What if it was a hit-and-run bicycle accident?

Call police immediately and get medical care. Try to note the vehicle description, any part of the plate, and the direction it went. Look for nearby cameras (stores, homes, traffic cameras). Even if the driver isn’t found right away, you may still have options.

What compensation can I get after a bicycle accident in Ontario?

eople often search “bicycle accident compensation” and “bike accident settlement.” Depending on your situation, compensation may include medical and rehabilitation costs, income loss, pain and suffering, future care needs, and out-of-pocket expenses.

When should I talk to a bicycle accident lawyer?

If you were injured, missed work, need treatment, or the insurer is pushing a quick settlement, it’s smart to speak with a bicycle accident lawyer early. Cariati Law can explain what to do after a bicycle accident, what to avoid saying to insurance, and how to protect your claim in plain language.
