Biking is a great way to explore and exercise. To keep bicyclists safe, most state and local laws now require drivers to share the road with them. Unfortunately, motorists often overlook bicyclists and collide with them. Such accidents can have deadly consequences for cyclists because they are relatively unprotected compared to motor vehicle operators.
If you were harmed in a bicycle accident, a seasoned personal injury attorney from our firm could help you obtain compensation for your pain and suffering. Reach out to a Haddonfield bicycle accident lawyer today for help with moving forward.
Biking Accident Injuries
Bicycle accidents can be devastating, even at low speeds. Bicyclists are especially vulnerable to the force and impact of a motor vehicle and are likely to suffer debilitating injuries or even death in an accident.
For this reason, minor injuries such as broken bones, lacerations, and bruises are common in bicycle crashes. Severe injuries like internal bleeding, loss of limbs, spinal cord damage, and severe head trauma can also occur – especially when a bicyclist is struck by a heavy vehicle at high speeds.
Unfortunately, these conditions could leave an injured cyclist unable to work and may require long-term medical care. Depending on the circumstances surrounding an accident, an injured bicyclist may be able to pursue compensation to offset his or her medical bills, lost wages, and other damages.
With the help of a Haddonfield biking accident attorney, claimants may also be able to recover:
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional turmoil
- Property damage
The sum of a plaintiff’s compensatory award would depend largely on the severity of his or her losses. Fortunately, a dedicated member of our legal team could help you measure your losses and articulate your goals in court.
Determining Another Party’s Negligence
A person who exhibits reckless or careless behavior and causes an accident as a result could be held financially responsible for an injured party’s subsequent damages. To prove a person is guilty of negligence, an attorney will have to establish that he or she owed a duty of care to the plaintiff. In other words, a bicycle wreck lawyer in Haddonfield would need to demonstrate that it was the defendant’s responsibility to ensure the plaintiff’s safety to some degree.
When establishing negligence, a judge would consider what a reasonable person would have done in the same situation. For a bike accident case, the tribunal would need to identify what any other driver would have done under similar circumstances to determine whether the defendant acted negligently. A motor vehicle operator who drives carelessly could be required to reimburse an injured claimant’s damages.

Testimonial from Paul D. -
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!

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!

Testimonial from Aminah M. -
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
Testimonial from Mickey -
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. **

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.
