Los viajes en bicicleta son una tendencia en aumento, tanto para los viajeros como para los recreacionistas. El ciclismo ofrece múltiples beneficios para la salud de los ciclistas y el medio ambiente al tiempo que proporciona un método de transporte asequible y divertido. Desafortunadamente, los ciclistas también son vulnerables a los accidentes de tráfico y sufren lesiones leves o graves.
Cuando se producen estas lesiones, es importante consultar a un abogado de accidentes de bicicleta en New Jersey, tan pronto como le sea posible para desarrollar una defensa y asegurarse de que su reclamo sea lo más sólido posible. Para obtener más información o comenzar a discutir su reclamo, consulte a un abogado calificado hoy. In English.
Cuando una bicicleta está involucrada en un accidente con un vehículo motorizado, es más probable que el ciclista sufra lesiones que el conductor del vehículo. A pesar de que todos los estados hacen cumplir la seguridad vial para los ciclistas, pueden ocurrir accidentes. Los ciclistas deben seguir las reglas de “lado del camino”, limitándolos a andar en bicicleta en el extremo derecho de la carretera o en un carril designado para bicicletas. Sin embargo, los ciclistas que respetan Ley todavía corren el riesgo de colisionar con las puertas abiertas de los automóviles estacionados o ser golpeados por un conductor que gira a la derecha.
A menos que se indique lo contrario, las bicicletas tienen los mismos derechos en las carreteras que los vehículos. Los ciclistas tienen derecho a un carril completo si un carril para bicicletas no está disponible. Los ciclistas deben mantenerse en el carril más a la derecha de una carretera y tener el derecho de paso siempre y cuando estén en el carril correcto. Si ocurre un accidente o colisión con un automóvil mientras un ciclista sigue las reglas de tránsito, el operador del vehículo generalmente es responsable del accidente.
Los conductores están obligados por Ley a dar a los ciclistas un amplio espacio en las carreteras. Este fallo se aplica a los automóviles estacionados y en movimiento. Una persona en un automóvil estacionado es responsable de verificar que la puerta de su automóvil no se abra hasta después de que haya pasado un ciclista para evitar accidentes de “puertas”.
Además, los vehículos que intentan pasar a un ciclista deben dejar una cantidad razonable de espacio entre ellos y el ciclista. El conductor del vehículo debe esperar hasta que sea seguro pasar o enfrentar sanciones legales si ocurre un accidente mientras pasa. Si un conductor golpea una bicicleta mientras gira a la derecha, el conductor generalmente se considera culpable y el ciclista debe consultar con un abogado de accidentes de bicicleta en New Jersey.
En el caso de un accidente, los ciclistas deben saber qué medidas tomar para protegerse de los litigios y prepararse para su propio juicio si el accidente fue culpa de otra persona. Las víctimas de accidentes deben permanecer en calma e implementar las siguientes estrategias de resolución.
Todos los accidentes, sin importar cuán pequeños sean, deben ser seguidos con un informe policial. A veces, los ciclistas asumen que están ilesos, se suben a sus bicicletas y continúan su camino, dándose cuenta de que es demasiado tarde que han sufrido daños y pueden necesitar atención médica o asistencia legal. Si no se presentó un informe policial, puede ser extremadamente difícil obtener una indemnización. Una vez que la policía está en camino, los ciclistas deben permanecer en la escena y no intentar involucrar al otro conductor.
Es esencial que ambas partes involucradas en un accidente registren su versión de los eventos en el informe policial. Los ciclistas deben hablar con la policía personalmente y detallar los eventos del accidente y cada lesión. Incluso los detalles menores deben incluirse en el informe en caso de que se vuelvan significativos más adelante.
Si bien los ciclistas deben limitar la cantidad de comunicación que tienen con la otra parte, es importante intercambiar información relevante, como información de contacto y seguro. Se debe pedir a los testigos que proporcionen su información de contacto también.
Los informes policiales son útiles si se persigue un litigio, pero las víctimas de accidentes también deben registrar la información relacionada con el accidente para sus propios registros personales. La información como la fecha, hora, lugar, clima y condiciones de la carretera podría convertirse en un factor en una demanda. Las lesiones médicas también deben ser documentadas. Las víctimas de accidentes deben enumerar todas las lesiones y realizar un seguimiento de su progreso, así como documentar cualquier tratamiento médico solicitado.
La evidencia fotográfica puede hacer un caso más fuerte. Las víctimas de accidentes deben fotografiar lo que puedan. Tomar fotos en la escena del accidente si es posible. Cualquier lesión debe ser fotografiada e incluida en el expediente personal de la víctima.
Todo el material del accidente debe conservarse como evidencia hasta que el caso se resuelva por completo. Los ciclistas no deben intentar reparar o enviar sus bicicletas o equipos fuera del estado. La ropa usada durante el accidente debe conservarse sin lavarse ni limpiarse. Es importante asociarse con un abogado de accidentes de bicicleta en New Jersey, que pueda informar a las víctimas sobre los pasos a seguir para presentar una demanda legal.
Si Usted es un ciclista o el miembro de la familia de un ciclista que se lesionó en un accidente con un automóvil, es posible que tenga derecho a recibir una compensación de la parte culpable. Los tipos de compensación típicamente disponibles incluyen el reembolso por salarios perdidos, costos de atención médica y rehabilitación.
Además, a menudo existe la posibilidad de indemnizaciones monetarias por dolor y sufrimiento o muerte injusta. Los abogados de accidentes de bicicleta en New Jersey de Grungo Colarulo son un grupo de expertos en la representación tanto para las víctimas como para sus familiares en un Accidente de bicicleta.
This team is incredible. They are friendly and knowledgeable. I appreciate everything they have done for me and would recommend them to anyone. Overall great experience
My case settled recently after lasting 4 years. Grungo and Colarulo’s law firm were able to secure a large settlement award for my slip and fall accident. This money will help secure my future for the permanent injury I received as a result of the slip and fall. Everyone was very caring, and kept me informed throughout the entire process. Christine Lafferty is an excellent litigation lawyer. I highly recommend using them if you have been injured or in an accident. I hope I am never in a situation again to need their services, but I know who to go to if I, or any of my family members are ever injured. Thanks Grungo and Colarulo and staff for your compassionate service!
Thank you so much Grungo and Colarulo for helping me with my case. Special thanks to Erica Domingo, Esquire and her team.

My wife and I reached out to Grungo Colarulo in 2020 for advise on a legal matter. After a meeting with the Attorney and Paralegal, we decided to go forward with a case. This case required a lot of documentation, and expert review of the documentation which was aquired. Throughout the process, we were kept up to date monthly, and Grungo Colarulo was always responsive to any questions that we had. The entire staff at Grungo Colarulo are very professional, caring, and willing to go the extra mile. This firm is a definite recommend!
I left five (5) stars only because that’s as many as I could leave. If I could, I would have left 100 stars. Bob & Christine are the absolute best! My settlement far exceeded what I ever imagined. They are professional, friendly, and really listened to what I had to say. They kept me up to date with the progress of my case every step of the way. I can’t recommend them highly enough.
Very professional, communicates well, makes me feel like they have my best interest at heart, and overall just a great company. Christine and the whole team has been on top of everything. Would definitely recommend!! 10/10

In addition to that, Stephanie & Riley & Drenna have done such an outstanding job taking care of me in such a difficult and low point of my life.

A dear family friend referred us to a young attorney named Rich Grungo, Jr. We wanted answers and if necessary, justice for our father. From day one of a five-year journey, Mr. Rich Grungo, Jr. made our family and our pain his own. The man never stopped working for us. He kept us informed every step of the way. Questions were answered quickly and with great compassion and expertise. Even though Rich was always busy, he was never too busy for us. We always felt like we were his only clients
I had the opportunity to observe Mr. Grungo work in this case, both in the courtroom on the technical matters of the motions and also as his presentation to the jury in opening and presenting witnesses as well as utilizing animations… and drawings and films that were necessary for a proper understanding of the case…At all times during the presentation, Mr. Grungo operated mostly without notes and questioned the witnesses in a conversational manner which made it most effective. **
Thank you for everything. I honestly felt like you treated my son like he was your own son, for that I am grateful. I would recommend your services to anyone. Thanks for being so awesome to both of us.
It was a pleasure working with Bill. He constantly kept me informed. I would recommend Bill and his firm to anybody I know. They’ll be in good hands.
I had the opportunity to retain Mr. Colarulo for a vehicle accident I encountered. I give him my highest recommendation for anyone in need of an excellent Personal Injury Attorney. Not only does he have an in depth knowledge of the legal field, but he emanates a sense of trust-worthiness that makes you feel secure during the entire process. Mr. Colarulo has the knowledge, drive and enthusiasm that will get the job done for you. He comes highly recommended.
Hi Rich, Well I’m on my way up to college to finish packing my son’s stuff up and to go to his Graduation tomorrow. It’s hard to believe how fast and how slow, at the same time 5 years can go by. I was just thinking of you as I am getting ready to leave and wanted to thank you once again for everything you have done for my son’s future. You are a good and just man. God Bless to you and your family.
Be Well,
