BICYCLE ACCIDENT LAWYER WINDSOR
The Biking Lawyer Windsor
We support safer cycling in Windsor, where riders share the road with high volumes of traffic, inconsistent bike lanes, and ongoing construction. Cycling is a low-impact and eco-friendly way to get around, but our cities are still largely built around the car. That leaves cyclists vulnerable. When someone’s negligence leads to injury, we call it a collision, not an accident.
If you or a loved one has been involved in a bike crash in Windsor, you may be entitled to compensation. This can include damages for pain and suffering, lost income, medical costs, and rehabilitation expenses.
Cyclists hit by vehicles are also eligible for Accident Benefits, which provide coverage for medical treatment, income replacement, and personal care support. Learn more about what you may be entitled to here.
Our team has over two decades of experience in personal injury law. We ride bikes too, and we know the unique physical and emotional challenges that come after a bike accident. Contact us for help navigating what comes next.

Accident Benefits for Windsor Cyclists
Cyclists in Windsor who are struck by motor vehicles may be entitled to no-fault Accident Benefits, in addition to filing a lawsuit against the at-fault driver. This is important information, especially for cyclists who do not have automobile insurance and may not realize they still qualify for coverage.
Accident Benefits can provide essential support, including immediate and long-term funding for medical care, rehabilitation, income replacement, and attendant care.
Learn more about Accident Benefits and how they apply to injured cyclists.
The first step is to determine which insurance company is responsible. If you have auto insurance, or are covered under a spouse’s or parent’s policy, that insurer will handle the claim. If not, the benefits are provided through the insurance company of the driver involved in the crash.
In situations where no one involved has insurance, cyclists can apply to Ontario’s Motor Vehicle Accident Claims Fund (MVACF). This applies frequently in hit-and-run cases, which we regularly assist with.
BRAIN INJURIES AND CONCUSSIONS
Bike crashes in Windsor can result in serious head injuries, even when the cyclist is wearing a helmet. Helmets can help reduce the severity of an injury, but they do not always prevent concussions or traumatic brain injuries (TBI).
At The Biking Lawyer LLP, we handle many TBI cases, and we know how devastating they can be. These are among the most serious injuries we see, especially in motor vehicle versus bicycle collisions, which are a leading cause of brain trauma.
Brain injuries can impact every area of life, from memory and mobility to emotional well-being and the ability to work or live independently. Families are often left with long-term care needs and significant financial burdens. If you or a loved one has suffered a traumatic brain injury, it is essential to consult with lawyers who can accurately project future needs and fight for the maximum compensation you deserve.
ROAD DISREPAIR OR NEGLIGENT ROAD CONSTRUCTION
Not every cycling crash in Windsor involves a motor vehicle. In some cases, the injury is caused by unsafe road conditions, such as a pothole, broken pavement, or a poorly marked construction site. These hazards can seriously affect a cyclist’s safety, especially when they’re not addressed by the city or contractor.
If you’ve been injured and suspect a road feature contributed to your crash, it’s important to document the scene. Take photographs of the area, and where possible, record measurements of any surface defects like holes or cracks.
Construction zones that are not properly maintained or signed can also be extremely dangerous. Crashes often occur when signage is missing, detours are unclear, or road surfaces are left in poor condition. Because construction sites are constantly evolving, contacting The Biking Lawyer LLP as early as possible is key. Road conditions and signage often change within days, making early collection of evidence critical to your case.
