BICYCLE ACCIDENT LAWYER MISSISSAUGA
The Biking Lawyer Mississauga
We support the push for safer cycling in Mississauga, where riders often face high-speed traffic, construction, and gaps in cycling infrastructure. Riding a bike is a healthy, low-impact way to travel that also helps reduce emissions and congestion. But too often, our roads prioritize cars, leaving cyclists exposed and vulnerable. When someone’s negligence leads to harm, we call it a collision, not an accident.
If you or someone you love has been injured in a bike crash in Mississauga, you may be entitled to compensation. This can include damages for pain and suffering, loss of past and future income, medical treatment, rehabilitation, and other out-of-pocket costs related to your recovery.
Cyclists hit by motor vehicles may also qualify for Accident Benefits, which cover medical and rehabilitation expenses, income replacement, and personal care assistance. You can learn more about your rights and benefits here.
It is important to speak with lawyers who truly understand the risks cyclists face. Our team has over 20 years of personal injury experience and we ride bikes ourselves. We know what’s at stake after a serious bike accident and are here to help you get the support and compensation you need.

BIKE VS. MOTOR VEHICLE:
Accident Benefits for Mississauga Cyclists
Cyclists in Mississauga who are hit by a motor vehicle may be entitled to no-fault Accident Benefits, in addition to filing a lawsuit against the at-fault driver. This is vital information. We often speak with cyclists who do not realize they can access these benefits, even if they do not have their own auto insurance.
Accident Benefits can offer immediate and sometimes lifelong coverage for medical care, lost wages, rehabilitation, and personal support services.
We explain Accident Benefits for cyclists in more detail here.
The first step is determining which insurance company is responsible. If the cyclist has auto insurance, or is covered under a spouse’s or parent’s policy, that company will provide the benefits. If not, the insurer of the vehicle that struck the cyclist becomes responsible.
If neither the cyclist nor the driver has insurance, as is often the case in hit-and-run collisions, the cyclist may still apply for coverage through Ontario’s Motor Vehicle Accident Claims Fund (MVACF).
BRAIN INJURIES AND CONCUSSIONS
In Mississauga, we frequently see cyclists suffer head injuries in bike crashes, even when they’re wearing helmets. A helmet cannot always prevent a concussion or traumatic brain injury (TBI).
At The Biking Lawyer LLP, we handle TBI cases with the highest level of care and legal precision. These are among the most serious injuries we work with. While traumatic brain injuries can happen in many scenarios, bike versus motor vehicle collisions remain one of the most common causes.
Brain injuries often have far-reaching impacts, and families may face overwhelming emotional and financial strain. If you or a loved one has suffered a traumatic brain injury, it is critical to work with a team that understands how to forecast and prove long-term care needs, so you can secure the full compensation you deserve.
ROAD DISREPAIR OR NEGLIGENT ROAD CONSTRUCTION
Not every cycling crash in Mississauga involves a motor vehicle. In many cases, injuries are caused by poor road conditions, such as a pothole, uneven pavement, or a badly marked construction zone. These types of hazards can make riding extremely dangerous, especially when not clearly marked or repaired.
If you’re injured in a crash and suspect the road itself played a role, it’s important to take photographs of the scene and document anything that contributed. If possible, try to capture measurements of potholes, gaps, or damaged surfaces.
When construction zones are not properly controlled or maintained, the risks to cyclists increase significantly. We have seen cases where unclear signage, missing barriers, or confusing detours have led to serious or even fatal injuries. Because construction areas change rapidly, it’s essential to contact The Biking Lawyer LLP as soon as possible. Road conditions, signage, and layouts may be altered quickly — early evidence collection is crucial.
