Bicycle use in Ontario continues to grow and in certain and while it brings many health benefits, it also brings about several safety concerns for these vulnerable road users. Individuals who choose to walk, jog, or cycle are particularly susceptible as they lack the protection a car and all its safety features can provide. They have little recourse to prevent injuries in the event of a collision with a motor vehicle. When drivers are distracted, engrossed in their phones, make errors, or speed on our roads, they can inflict severe injuries on cyclists and pedestrians, including fractures, spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries, and even fatalities.

The usage of e-bikes and e-scooters is also on the rise. Regrettably, as these modes of transport gain popularity, accidents and injuries are becoming more common. E-bikes can reach speeds of over 30 km/h, and riders are more likely to sustain serious injuries in accidents compared to traditional bicyclists due to these higher speeds.

Victims of serious accidents, especially vulnerable road users like cyclists and pedestrians, require assistance and support. Our team is committed to helping them rebuild their lives. Advocating for the rights of highly vulnerable cyclists and pedestrians is a cornerstone of our reputation within the legal and medical communities.
