Named after Colonel John Quincy, the City of Quincy has been associated with many things – one our nation’s first presidents, the world’s first airport, and home to the largest marina in the northeast. Quincy is a wonderful city for outdoor activities. Outdoor activities mean lots of cyclists coexisting with other commuters in cars, motorcycles and trucks. This coexistence can lead to devastating collisions that leave cyclists especially at risk of serious injuries.

How did Your Bicycle Accident Occur?

Accidents happen every day, but sometimes accidents are the result of the irresponsible or negligent actions of others, which can have serious implications. There are many instances where an accident may be grounds for a personal injury settlement or lawsuit, including but not limited to:

• Accidents where a motorist was drunk or under the influence of other drugs
• Accidents where a motorist failed to yield or obey other traffic laws
• Accidents where a motorist was distracted, either by a cell phone or something else
• Accidents where a driver or passenger in a parked car didn’t properly check for cyclists before opening their car door, leading to a “dooring” incident, which can cause serious injuries
• Accidents where a motorist exercised reckless behavior, such as excessive speeding or road rage
