Indianapolis Bicycle Accident Attorney
Last updated on January 28, 2025
Like many other states, Indiana has several laws that are implemented to protect bicyclists and pedestrians. Bicycle laws help ensure both public and personal safety, making the streets that we all share safer. Indiana laws provide the following:
- Indiana code 9-21-8-37 – A person who drives a vehicle should exercise great care to avoid colliding with a pedestrian or person on a bicycle, giving an audible signal when necessary and exercising great care upon observing a child.
- Indiana code 9-21-11-2 – A person riding a bicycle on a roadway has all the rights and duties that are applicable to a person who drives a vehicle.
Unfortunately, no matter how much bicyclists may adhere to the codes that govern bicycle safety, many are still involved in tragic collisions. Clearly, there are huge safety concerns for any bicyclist, but the hazards of the road are magnified when inattentive drivers do not adhere to motorist laws as well. At Parr Richey Frandsen Patterson Kruse LLP, we aim to hold other motorists responsible for their negligence, and we encourage injured cyclists to reach out to our Indianapolis or Lebanon office.
