Bicycle accidents are among the most serious incidents on Ontario roads. Cyclists lack the physical protection of motor vehicle occupants, meaning even low-speed crash events can result in traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, fractures, and severe road rash.

What to do
Bicycle Accident Cases — What to Do Immediately After a Crash
Acting correctly in the immediate aftermath of a bicycle accident protects both your health and your legal rights. Here is what our bicycle accident lawyers recommend every cyclist do after a crash:
Call the police immediately.
A police report is essential evidence for any bicycle accident claim. The toronto police will document the scene, collect driver information, and create an official record. Obtain a copy of the police report as soon as it is available — police reports are among the most important documents in bicycle accident cases.Seek medical attention right away.
Even if injuries seem minor, many serious bicycle accident injuries are not immediately apparent. A same-day medical record is critical evidence linking your injuries to the accident.Photograph everything.
Document the accident scene, your bicycle damage, torn clothing, road hazards, and all visible injuries immediately after the crash. This visual evidence is invaluable for establishing fault and injury severity in bicycle accident cases.Collect witness information.
Get names and contact details from anyone who witnessed the crash or noticed the conditions that contributed to it. Independent witness statements significantly strengthen accident claims.Do not admit fault.
Statements at the accident scene can be used against you by insurance companies — never apologize or make any statement suggesting you were responsible for the bicycle accident.Contact our bicycle accident injury lawyers immediately.
Dashcam footage and security camera video can be overwritten within 24 to 72 hours after a crash. Our legal team issues preservation notices, secures critical evidence, and files all necessary notices — including the 10-day municipal notice — on your behalf. Accidents happen fast — and so should your call to us.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Toronto Bicycle Accident Lawyers
Do I need a bicycle accident lawyer if the driver’s insurer accepts liability?
Yes. Even where liability is accepted, insurance companies consistently undervalue bicycle accident claims — particularly for serious injuries. Our bike accident lawyers ensure you receive the full compensation you are entitled to, not just what the insurer initially offers.What if I was cycling without a helmet?
The absence of a helmet may be raised by insurance companies as contributory negligence — potentially reducing your award. However, it does not eliminate your right to compensation. Many serious bicycle accident injuries are entirely unrelated to helmet use, and our injury lawyers address contributory negligence arguments directly. An experienced lawyer knows how to minimize the impact of this defence.Can I sue the city for a pothole or bike lane defect that caused my crash?
Yes. Where a municipal road defect or inadequate bike infrastructure contributed to your bicycle accident in Toronto, our bicycle accident lawyers pursue claims against the city alongside the at-fault driver. You must provide written notice within 10 days — contact our toronto bicycle accident lawyers immediately after your crash to meet this deadline.What if the driver who hit me fled the scene?
Hit and run bicycle accident cases can be pursued through your own auto insurance policy or the Motor Vehicle Accident Claims Fund. Our bicycle accident injury lawyers handle these bike accident victims claims regularly and know exactly how to recover accident benefits and tort compensation even when the at-fault driver cannot be identified.How much does a bicycle accident lawyer cost?
Our bike accident lawyers work on a contingency fee basis. You pay nothing upfront and nothing unless we win. Book a free consultation with our team today — lawyers for a free consultation are available 24/7 with no obligation.
