Bicycle Accidents
Bicycle riders are at risk of injury from a variety of sources. Crowded city streets are ripe for collisions between bicyclists and pedestrians or motor vehicles. Even in area of less population density, bicyclists are at risk due to the low visibility profile of a bicycle and may be struck or run off the road by careless or impatient automobile drivers who may fail to respect a cyclist's rights. Unfortunately collisions involving motor vehicles are far more frequent than accidents involving pedestrians.
When a cyclist is struck by a motor vehicle, there is a high possibility of severe injury. These injuries may include broken or dislocated bones, torn ligaments or tendons, injuries to the spinal cord or brain injuries. Sometimes, these injuries have permanent or semi-permanent physiological and emotional effects that may require expensive ongoing treatment and rehabilitation. Understanding your rights under the law and recovering damages to which you are entitled is greatly facilitated by the assistance of an attorney that has extensive experience in personal injury law.
