In some areas, bicycles have their own designated lanes, but there are also many areas in which bicyclists share the road with drivers of larger vehicles such as passenger cars
, light trucks or 18 wheelers. Accidents can easily occur if a larger vehicle is negligent, inattentive or performs a dangerous or illegal maneuver.
If you or someone you know has been seriously injured in a bicycle accident, it is in your best interests to speak with an experienced personal injury attorney. When you have suffered a serious, catastrophic or devastating injury, it is very important that you receive the medical care that you need. With the help of an experienced lawyer, you can recover compensation for any and all financial and non-financial losses caused as a result of somebody's negligence.
Because a bicycle offers no protection and restraints, cyclists can often be severely injured while the vehicle driver only suffers superficial damage to his/her vehicle. Even slow-speed accidents can cause very severe injuries, including:
Road rash
Traumatic brain injury
Spinal Cord injury
Broken bones
Soft tissue injuries
Organ damage
Wrongful Death
If you have suffered due to someone's negligent or illegal actions, please don't hesitate to speak with an experienced personal injury attorney. Your attorney can help to get you the compensation that you deserve. You may be able to obtain damages for your medical bills, cost of repair/replacement of your bicycle, lost wages and lost future wages, and pain and suffering, depending on the circumstances of your case.
