BICYCLE ACCIDENT LAWYER KINGSTON
The Biking Lawyer Kingston
Cycling is a popular way to get around Kingston, whether you’re commuting through the city or riding along the waterfront. But even in a bike-conscious community, riders are at risk. Roads built for cars, distracted drivers, and unsafe infrastructure all put cyclists in harm’s way. When negligence is involved, we refer to these incidents as collisions, not accidents.
If you or someone close to you has been involved in a bike crash in Kingston, you may be entitled to compensation. This could include pain and suffering, loss of income, rehabilitation costs, and medical expenses.
You may also qualify for Accident Benefits if a motor vehicle was involved. These benefits help cover medical care, income loss, and personal support needs. Learn more about what you may be entitled to here.
With more than 20 years of experience in personal injury law, and as cyclists ourselves we understand the injuries and challenges that come with a serious bike accident. We’re here to help.

BIKE VS. MOTOR VEHICLE:
Accident Benefits for Kingston Cyclists
Cyclists struck by motor vehicles in Kingston may be entitled to no-fault Accident Benefits, even if they do not have their own automobile insurance. This is in addition to the right to bring a claim against the at-fault driver. Many cyclists are unaware that these benefits apply to them.
Accident Benefits can provide coverage for medical treatment, income replacement, rehabilitation services, and other essential care, sometimes for the long term.

The first step is identifying which insurer is responsible. This may be your own insurance company, or a policy held by a spouse or parent. If none of those apply, the insurance provider of the vehicle involved in the crash will supply coverage.
If neither the cyclist nor the driver is insured, which is often the case in hit-and-run incidents, you may still qualify for benefits through Ontario’s Motor Vehicle Accident Claims Fund (MVACF).
BRAIN INJURIES AND CONCUSSIONS
Cycling incidents in Kingston can result in head injuries, including concussions, even when a helmet is worn. We know that helmet use does not make cyclists immune from suffering a concussion.
At The Biking Lawyer LLP, traumatic brain injuries (TBI) are among the most serious injuries we handle. While TBIs can happen in many types of accidents involving head trauma, bike collisions with motor vehicles are one of the most common causes we see.
These injuries often have a lasting impact, not only on the person injured but on their family as well. In many cases, they require lifelong care and support. If you or a family member has sustained a TBI in Kingston, our legal team is equipped to project future care needs and pursue the maximum compensation you may be entitled to.
ROAD DISREPAIR OR NEGLIGENT ROAD CONSTRUCTION
Not all bike crashes in Kingston are the result of a collision with a motor vehicle. In many cases, the road itself is to blame, from a pothole or cracked surface to a poorly marked or maintained construction zone. These conditions can turn an ordinary ride into a serious injury.
If you believe your crash was caused by dangerous road conditions, act quickly to protect your case. Take photographs of the location and any hazards that may have contributed. If you're able, measure the size or depth of the road defects — this kind of evidence can be critical.
When construction zones lack proper signage or traffic control, the risk to cyclists increases significantly. These areas often change within hours or days, making it essential to consult with The Biking Lawyer LLP as soon as possible. The sooner we can document the conditions, the stronger your case will be.
