Car Accidents Involving Bicyclists

Drivers who handle cars and trucks on the roadway are faced with an incredible responsibility. They are in control of vehicles that pose a serious danger to the safety of anyone who should have the misfortune to become involved in a car accident. Unfortunately, the bicyclists with whom motorists are to share the road are at particular risk of traumatic injury because of the discrepancy in size and protective features that are available to them. As a consequence, bicyclists who are struck by inattentive automobile drivers can face a daunting recovery if they are fortunate enough to survive.

If you were lawfully riding your bicycle and were hit by a negligent motorist then you may be able to file a claim seeking financial compensation for your injuries. Damages may be awarded for medical bills, lost wages, mental anguish, and other considerations as appropriate.

Consequences of Car-Bike Collisions

• Severe abrasions
• Traumatic brain injuries
• Spinal cord injuries
• Fractured bones
• Internal organ damage
