Most people think stunt driving means a ticket.

In reality, it can mean a traumatic brain injury, a lifetime of chronic pain, or a family forever changed by a preventable crash.

The drivers usually walk away.

The victims often don't.

We see the consequences every day.

🚴‍♂️💥 Got “doored” while cycling? Here’s what to do next 👇

Getting hit by a suddenly opened car door is scary, painful, and unfortunately way too common 😟

If it happens:
✔️ Move to safety if you can
✔️ Call 911 if anyone is injured
✔️ Get the driver’s information & plate number 🚗
✔️ Take photos of the scene, your bike, and injuries 📸
✔️ Get witness contact info 👀
✔️ Don’t brush off injuries — adrenaline is sneaky!
✔️ Seek medical attention and document everything 🩺

And remember: cyclists have rights too 🚴‍♀️💙

Drivers - before opening your door, try the “Dutch Reach” ✋ Use your far hand to open the door so you naturally look for cyclists first. Small habit. Big difference.

Stay safe out there and keep the rubber side down 🙌

Thank you for your reviews. They help people find us in times of need!

5 ✨Exceptional Legal Support – Highly Recommended.​

I had a fantastic experience with Alexander David at Deutschmann & Law (Deutschmann de Koning). After my accident in September 2023, I was initially working with a different firm, but I was unsatisfied with how my case was progressing.

​I reached out to Alexander in March 2025, and the difference was night and day. He took over the case and handled everything with incredible efficiency. From the start, he provided realistic timelines and a very candid, honest picture of what to expect. What I appreciated most was his accessibility; he was always available to clear up my doubts at every single step of the process. Alexander is compassionate, professional, and deeply expert in his field.If you are looking for a personal injury lawyer who truly cares, I highly recommend him."
