Bicycle Accident Lawyers Near Rockville
Facing Fault-Shifting After a Bicycle Crash? Reach Our Bilingual Team 24/7
A cyclist has little protection from a motor vehicle, so a collision can cause broken bones, road rash, traumatic brain injuries, and other serious harm. At Antezana & Antezana, LLC., we investigate the crash, handle insurer communications, document losses, and pursue compensation from those responsible.
Founded in 2001 by Alfredo J. Antezana, our family-owned personal injury firm serves injured cyclists in Rockville and throughout Montgomery County. Our fully bilingual staff assists clients in English and Spanish.
Call (301) 640-5735 for a free consultation with our Rockville bicycle accident attorney, available 24/7. You won’t pay attorney fees unless we win your case.
Hands-On Representation Backed by More Than $70 Million in 2025
Insurance adjusters may scrutinize everything from a cyclist’s lane position to helmet use in an effort to assign partial fault. We challenge unsupported allegations by gathering available photographs, video, witness accounts, police records, vehicle damage evidence, and medical documentation.
We have served more than 37,000 injured clients. In 2025, we secured more than $70 million in settlements and verdicts for clients in Maryland and Virginia. Alfredo J. Antezana’s experience clerking for the Maryland Workers’ Compensation Commission also gives our firm firsthand familiarity with Maryland legal and administrative procedures.
Clients receive personalized, hands-on attention. We explain the claim process, provide regular updates, and build each case around its specific evidence rather than treating every bicycle collision the same.

How Driver Negligence Causes Bicycle Crashes
Determining how a collision occurred may require examining vehicle movements, visibility, traffic controls, roadway markings, and each party’s actions before impact. This evidence can show whether a driver overlooked a cyclist who had the right to use the road.
Common causes of bicycle and motor vehicle collisions include:
- Left-turn collisions: A driver turns across an oncoming cyclist’s path without yielding.
- Dooring: A vehicle occupant opens a door into a cyclist’s path, leaving too little time or space to avoid impact.
- Failure to yield: A driver enters an intersection, driveway, or roadway without respecting the cyclist’s right-of-way.
- Unsafe passing: A motorist overtakes a bicycle too closely or returns to the lane before clearing the rider.
Compensation Available After a Bicycle Crash
When another party’s negligence causes a collision, an injured cyclist may seek compensation for the resulting harm. Recoverable damages depend on the injuries, financial losses, insurance coverage, evidence of fault, and long-term effects of the crash.
A bicycle accident claim may include compensation for:
- Medical expenses: Emergency treatment, hospitalization, rehabilitation, medication, and related care.
- Lost income: Wages missed during recovery and other documented effects on the cyclist’s ability to work.
- Pain and suffering: Physical pain and other nonfinancial harm caused by the injuries.
- Property damage: Repair or replacement costs for the bicycle and other damaged personal property.
A responsible driver’s auto insurance may cover these losses, depending on the policy, available evidence, and Maryland law. We identify potential coverage and document damages with medical records, income documentation, repair estimates, and other supporting materials.
What to Do After a Rockville Bicycle Accident
Once immediate safety needs are addressed, preserving evidence can protect a cyclist’s ability to pursue a claim.
After a bicycle collision:
- Seek medical care: Prompt evaluation can identify injuries that weren’t immediately apparent and create a record connecting treatment to the crash.
- Report the collision: Request police assistance so the incident can be investigated and officially documented.
- Preserve evidence: Keep the bicycle, helmet, damaged clothing, photographs, witness information, medical records, and receipts.
- Avoid recorded statements: Don’t give the other driver’s insurer a recorded statement or accept blame before obtaining legal advice.
- Watch the filing deadline: Under Maryland Courts and Judicial Proceedings Section 5-101, injured parties generally have three years from the date of injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. Exceptions and other claim requirements may change the applicable deadline.
