Bicycle Accident Attorneys
In beach communities, suburbs, and college towns across America, bike use is extremely high and in some cases, outnumbers cars on the road. Yet this form of transportation also leaves people extremely vulnerable to accidents. Many motorists do not want to share the road, do not pay careful attention, and even try to run bicyclists off the road. Whether in broad daylight, or under the cloak of darkness, bicyclists are at extreme risk for serious accidents. If you have been in a bicycle accident, you could be entitled to compensation for your injuries. Call our experienced bicycle accident attorneys today for your free consultation.
Bicyclists are Vulnerable to Severe Accidents
Bicycle accidents can be extremely dangerous for bike riders.
Without the protective steel shell that driving a car affords, bicyclists can suffer damaging and potentially lasting injuries, including:
- Concussion
- Head injuries
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Broken bones
- Fractures
- Spinal cord injury
- Back and neck injuries
- Internal organ damage
- Road rash injuries
- Amputation
- Paralysis
- Wrongful death
Less than 10% of roadways across America include designated bike lanes, and often, sidewalks are crowded, busy, or too full of obstacles to allow bike riding. Riders who enter into the streets often risk their lives to do so. 1/3 of the bicycle accidents occur between a bicycle and a motor vehicle, which can be extremely dangerous.
What to Do if You’re in a Bicycle Accident
- Wait for the police to arrive and make a police report to document the accident. Obtain the officer’s information to follow up later.
- Take pictures of your injuries and the damage to your bike. Also take pictures of the scene for reference.
- Obtain contact information from witnesses at the scene.
- If the driver has stopped, obtain the driver’s insurance information and contact information. Do not work out side deals for cash upfront.
- Leave your bike in the same state it was following the accident.
- Seek immediate medical attention.
