How We Handle Bicycle Accident Claims in Washington, DC
The District’s vulnerable-user rule can change how alleged cyclist fault is evaluated in certain collisions involving motor vehicles. A vulnerable user includes a person riding a bicycle. Under D.C. Code § 50-2204.52, a cyclist in a covered case may recover when the cyclist’s negligence isn’t greater than the combined negligence of the defendants, although damages can be reduced according to the cyclist’s share of fault.
Our review can address:
- Liability Evidence: We consider crash reports, photographs, witness information, surveillance footage, vehicle or bicycle damage, and available roadway documentation.
- Insurance Claims: We identify potentially applicable policies and handle communications and negotiations with insurers and responsible parties.
- Documented Losses: We evaluate medical expenses, lost income, property damage, and longer-term effects supported by the available records.
- Public-Entity Issues: If District property or a District agency may be involved, we assess whether the six-month written-notice requirement under D.C. Code § 12-309 applies.
