Our attorneys bring more than 40 years of combined experience and have handled thousands of personal injury cases across Missouri, Illinois, and beyond.

Our focus is straightforward: the complete measure of justice for every client we take on. That commitment applies just as fully to bicycle accident claims as it does to any catastrophic injury case we handle.

Why Injured Cyclists Choose Kolker Law Firm

Our attorneys are prepared to go to trial. That readiness matters because insurers know it. When an adjuster understands that our team won’t accept a lowball offer, it shifts the negotiation. In many cases, the result can be a favorable settlement before trial becomes necessary.

We also come to you. Our attorneys meet clients at home or in the hospital, including evenings and weekends, so a serious injury doesn’t become a barrier to getting sound legal counsel. Our attorneys have been recognized on the National Trial Lawyers: Top 100 Trial Lawyers in Missouri list, selected for inclusion in Super Lawyers®, and are members of the Million Dollar Advocates Forum®.

Common Causes of Bicycle Collisions in St. Louis

Busy corridors like Grand Boulevard, Kingshighway, and Gravois Avenue are among the most dangerous stretches in the city for cyclists, according to Trailnet crash-report analysis. The collisions that happen there follow recognizable patterns.

Frequent causes our attorneys handle include:

• Unsafe passing by drivers who crowd or cross too close to a cyclist
• Dooring, when a parked driver opens a car door into a cyclist’s path
• Intersection conflicts, including right-turn and left-turn crashes
• Hit-and-run crashes that leave a cyclist without an identifiable at-fault driver
• Poor road conditions or missing bicycle infrastructure

Depending on the facts, liability may fall on a negligent driver, a government entity responsible for road design or maintenance, or a manufacturer when a defective bicycle or vehicle component contributed to the crash.

Damages Available in a Bicycle Accident Claim

A serious crash can upend a cyclist’s finances, health, and daily life. Recoverable damages typically include medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and long-term care costs when injuries are severe. We understand that a catastrophic injury affects the entire family, not just the person who was struck.

When a cyclist doesn’t survive a collision, we also handle wrongful death claims on behalf of surviving family members. No area of our work carries more weight, and we approach these cases with the same commitment to complete justice.

Start with a Free Consultation

Evidence fades and witness recollections weaken quickly after a crash. Speaking with an attorney soon after the incident can give your claim a stronger foundation. There’s no cost to contact us: we offer free initial consultations and collect no fee until a settlement or verdict is reached.
