Bicyclists and drivers share the road, and both have to follow the same traffic rules. However, there is a major exception to this rule in Albuquerque. If it is not safe to ride in the street, bicycles are allowed to ride on the sidewalk.

This exception is very important in Albuquerque, where a lot of areas, and drivers, are still not bike-friendly. Many parts of the city do not have bike lanes and cycling on busy streets, such as Montgomery Boulevard, can be completely unsafe. Riding on the sidewalk is the only option-and the law recognizes this. However, insurance companies and, sometimes, police officers do not. I have experience representing New Mexicans with their bicycle accident cases with more than 18 years of legal experience. I am honored to have been rated by other attorneys in New Mexico as well as judges to have the highest legal ability and highest ethical standards through an AV rating by Martindale Hubbell.

What Should I Do After An Accident?

If you have been hurt in a bicycle accident, it’s important to remember that you have the right to be on the road, just as any vehicle does. An experienced Albuquerque personal injury attorney can help you get the medical treatment and money you deserve for the injuries you’ve suffered. Bicycle accidents are similar to motorcycle accidents, even what is considered a small impact to a car can cause major injuries in bike accidents: bone fractures, neck and back injuries, even brain injuries.

I am the attorney you want fighting for you when it comes to dealing with insurance companies after a bicycle accident. If you have been injured in a bicycle accident, it is important to get appropriate medical care as soon as possible. Getting the right medical care is important because the insurance company may not consider or pay for all of the medical treatment that you get if you are not following the right steps.
