Fighting for Injured Cyclists in Garner, NC
Bicyclists in Garner share the roads with cars, trucks, and other vehicles — often with little physical protection. Unfortunately, this puts cyclists at serious risk for devastating injuries in a crash. Whether it happened on Timber Drive, Vandora Springs Road, or a local greenway crossing in Garner, a negligent driver can forever alter a cyclist’s life.
Riddle & Riddle Injury Lawyers is proud to serve injured cyclists in Garner and throughout Wake County. Our attorneys have the experience, resources, and determination to hold careless drivers and their insurers accountable. If you’ve been hurt in a bicycle crash — or if a loved one was killed — we’re here to help however we can.
Common Bicycle Accident Injuries
Even when wearing a helmet, cyclists are highly exposed to impact. Some of the most common injuries we see in Garner bike crash cases include:
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI) and concussion
- Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
- Broken bones and fractures
- Internal organ damage
- Road rash and soft tissue injuries
- Facial injuries and dental trauma
These injuries often require extensive medical care, time away from work and potential lost wages, and long-term rehabilitation. In the most heartbreaking situations, bicycle accidents in Garner can even result in death.
If you qualify for a claim and decide to hire Riddle & Riddle Injury Lawyers, we’ll fight to make sure you’re fully compensated for your current and future needs. We always pursue maximum compensation.
What Causes Bicycle Accidents in Garner?
While some bike crashes are unavoidable, most are caused by driver negligence. Common causes of bike accidents include:
- Distracted driving (texting, eating, or GPS use)
- Failing to yield at intersections
- Unsafe passing or turning
- Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs
- Speeding, especially in residential or school zones
- Opening a car door into a cyclist’s path (“dooring”)
In many of these cases, the driver’s insurance company will try to deny liability — or worse, blame the cyclist. Don’t let that happen. Riddle & Riddle can investigate the crash, gather the evidence, and protect your rights every step of the way.
IMPORTANT: Never give a recorded statement to the insurance company without first consulting with an experienced Garner bike accident lawyer.
What to Do After a Bicycle Accident in Garner
After a bike crash, your priority should be safety and medical care — but it’s also important to take steps that protect your legal rights. Here’s what to do:
- Call 911 and report the crash to law enforcement.
- Seek immediate medical care, even if you feel okay.
- Document the scene — take photos and gather witness contact info.
- Do not speak with the insurance adjuster before speaking to a lawyer.
- Call Riddle & Riddle Injury Lawyers at 1-800-525-7111 for a free consultation.
We can help guide you through the process and, if you decide to hire us, deal with the insurance companies so you can focus on healing. Your health is most important.

- Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress and trauma

How Long Do You Have to File a Bicycle Injury Claim in NC?
In North Carolina, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims — including bike accidents — is generally three years from the date of injury. For wrongful death claims, the limit is generally two years from the date of death.
However, it’s critical to act quickly. Evidence can disappear and witnesses can become harder to locate. Contact our Garner bicycle accident attorneys as soon as possible to protect your rights.
