Protecting Cyclists Across Connecticut — Advocating for the Injured
At my firm, we represent injured bicyclists throughout Connecticut who have suffered serious trauma—especially traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)—after being hit by cars, crashing due to unsafe road conditions, or falling because of defective equipment. If you or a loved one has suffered a head injury in a bike crash, you may be entitled to significant compensation.
Understanding TBI in Bicycle Crashes
A traumatic brain injury occurs when a violent force impacts the brain, either from a direct blow or a sudden jolt. Cyclists are especially vulnerable to TBIs because:
• The human skull is not built to withstand vehicle impact.
• Helmets reduce risk, but they don't eliminate it.
• Many TBIs occur without loss of consciousness, making them hard to detect early.
• Symptoms can be delayed—including confusion, mood changes, headaches, or memory problems.
Even a “mild” TBI can permanently affect someone's ability to work, learn, or live independently.
How Bicycle TBIs Happen
Some of the most common causes we see in Connecticut include:
• Motor vehicle collisions – Drivers failing to yield, texting behind the wheel, or speeding near bike lanes.
• Dangerous road conditions – Unmarked potholes, gravel, or uneven pavement can send a rider flying.
• Defective helmets or bike parts – When protective gear fails, manufacturers may be liable.
• Negligent property owners – Poorly maintained driveways or sidewalks can cause serious falls.
In each of these cases, we investigate thoroughly to determine who is legally responsible.
Do You Need a Lawyer After a Bike-Related TBI?
Yes. Brain injury cases are medically complex, often requiring testimony from neurologists, neuropsychologists, and life care planners. Insurance companies are notorious for downplaying TBI claims, especially when MRIs look “normal.”
At our firm, we work with leading medical experts and economists to:
âś… Prove the full extent of your brain injury âś… Calculate lost income, care needs, and long-term costs âś… Maximize the value of your case under Connecticut law
We fight to ensure our clients receive the support they need—not just now, but for years to come.
What Compensation Can You Recover?
If your brain injury was caused by someone else's negligence, you may be able to recover damages for:
• Medical bills (past and future)
• Lost wages and earning capacity
• Pain and suffering
• Long-term care and rehabilitation
• Cognitive or emotional impairments
• Loss of enjoyment of life
