Bicycle Accidents and Injuries

A bicycle accident may cause catastrophic and potentially fatal injuries. Of all auto accidents, those involving a bicyclist are often the most serious - most frequently to the rider of the bicycle rather than the driver or occupants of the motor vehicle involved. A bicycle accident may cause broken or fractured bones, head trauma, spinal cord injury or neck injury even in a relatively low-speed accident. In high-speed or high-impact collisions, the bicyclist may lose his or her life.

Bicycle Accidents and Driver Negligence

Many motorists simply do not see bicyclists or pedestrians until it is too late. Studies have shown that drivers are more likely to focus on frequent dangers, such as oncoming traffic and other drivers. When sharing the road with a bicycle rider, the motorist may be entirely unaware of the cyclist's presence or may not understand the cyclist's right of way. This can easily cause a serious bicycle accident and therefore injury or even death.
