BICYCLE ACCIDENT LAWYER BRAMPTON
The Biking Lawyer Brampton
Cyclists in Brampton often navigate fast-moving traffic, limited bike lanes, and construction-heavy routes. Riding a bike supports your health, the environment, and helps reduce congestion, but it also comes with real risks. When a rider is hurt due to someone else’s negligence, we call it a collision, not an accident.
If you or a loved one has been injured in a bike crash in Brampton, you may be entitled to compensation. This can include damages for pain and suffering, lost income, medical expenses, and rehabilitation support.
If a motor vehicle was involved, you may also be eligible for Accident Benefits, which can provide funding for treatment, income replacement, and personal care. Learn more about what you may be entitled to here.
Our legal team has over 20 years of experience representing injured cyclists, and we ride too. We understand the physical, emotional, and financial toll a bike accident can take, and we’re here to help you recover.

Accident Benefits for Brampton Cyclists
A cyclist struck by a motor vehicle in Brampton may be entitled to receive no-fault Accident Benefits, even if they do not have automobile insurance. These benefits are available in addition to filing a legal claim against the at-fault driver. Many cyclists are unaware they have this right.
Accident Benefits can help cover medical care, rehabilitation costs, income replacement, and other necessary supports, both short-term and long-term depending on the severity of the injuries.

To get started, the first step is determining which insurer is responsible. That might be your own provider, or coverage under a spouse’s or parent’s policy. If those are not available, the insurance company of the driver who caused the crash will provide the benefits.
If no insurance exists for either party, the cyclist may still apply for benefits through Ontario’s Motor Vehicle Accident Claims Fund (MVACF), a process we frequently assist with in hit-and-run situations.
BRAIN INJURIES AND CONCUSSIONS
In Brampton, a bike crash can lead to serious head injuries, including concussions, even when the cyclist is wearing a helmet. Protective gear does not eliminate the risk of a traumatic brain injury (TBI).
At The Biking Lawyer LLP, TBI cases are among the most serious injuries we handle. While these injuries can happen in many situations involving head trauma, motor vehicle versus bike crashes are one of the leading causes we see.
The impact of a brain injury can be life-changing, often requiring long-term medical care and support. These injuries affect not only the individual, but their entire family. If you or someone you care about has suffered a TBI in Brampton, it is important to consult with a legal team that understands how to calculate long-term costs and secure the maximum compensation available.
ROAD DISREPAIR OR NEGLIGENT ROAD CONSTRUCTION
Cycling crashes in Brampton aren’t always caused by other vehicles. Sometimes the danger is in the road itself — a pothole, crumbling pavement, or a construction zone that wasn’t properly signed or secured. These conditions can easily lead to serious injuries for unsuspecting cyclists.
If the road played a role in your crash, it’s important to document the scene right away. Take clear photos of where the incident occurred, including the hazard itself. If you can, record basic measurements of any defects that may have contributed.
Construction zones in particular can be unpredictable and hazardous. Poorly marked detours, loose gravel, or missing barriers are all risks that demand proper maintenance and warning. Because roadwork setups often change quickly, we strongly recommend reaching out to The Biking Lawyer LLP as soon as possible. Preserving evidence early is key when pursuing a claim involving road conditions.
