Bicycle Accident Attorney in Huntington, WV
Protecting Injured Cyclists Across West Virginia
Cyclists have the same rights to the road as any driver — but when negligent motorists fail to yield, the consequences can be devastating. At McClure & Goad, we help injured cyclists pursue compensation after crashes caused by careless drivers, unsafe roads, or defective equipment.
Why Bicycle Injuries Deserve Serious Legal Attention
Even a low-speed collision can cause life-altering injuries to a cyclist. Broken bones, head trauma, or internal injuries often follow. Our West Virginia bicycle accident attorneys understand how to hold negligent drivers — and their insurers — accountable for the harm they cause.
Bicycle Accident Cases We Handle
Right-of-Way Violations
Many drivers fail to yield at intersections or when turning — putting cyclists directly in harm’s way.
Dooring and Roadside Collisions
Injury can occur when parked drivers open car doors into a cyclist’s path without warning.
Distracted or Impaired Drivers
We pursue justice when texting, drunk, or inattentive drivers cause preventable crashes.
Poor Road Maintenance or Signage
Potholes, unclear bike lanes, or missing signs can contribute to dangerous conditions.
Fatal Bicycle Accidents
We represent grieving families in wrongful death claims when a cyclist is killed due to negligence.

Bicycle Accident FAQs
What if I wasn’t wearing a helmet?
You may still have a case. West Virginia doesn’t require helmets for adults, and lack of a helmet doesn’t excuse driver negligence.
Who pays for my damages?
Typically, the at-fault driver’s insurance covers medical bills, lost wages, and more. We pursue full compensation on your behalf.
What should I do after a bike crash?
Get medical help, file a police report, take photos if possible, and contact a bicycle accident lawyer in West Virginia right away.
How long do I have to file?
Generally, two years from the date of the crash — but the sooner we start, the stronger your case.
What if the driver fled the scene?
Uninsured motorist coverage or legal investigation may still lead to a recovery. We’ll explore all options.
