Cyclist Injured in an Auto Accident? Contact an Attorney Today!
According to a report by the NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration), 52,000 cyclists were injured in traffic accidents in 2008 alone, a 21% increase from the previous year. Bicyclists are at a particular risk of injury or death in the event of a collision with a motor vehicle, due to the sheer size of a typical car or truck versus the size and weight of a bicycle. A bicycle rider, even with a helmet and protective gear, is likely to sustain broken bones, back injuries, injury to internal organs, head trauma and more. These injuries will result in medical bills and the possibility of physical therapy and continued medical care to make a full recovery, and some injuries may result in permanent damage.
In the face of the devastating consequences of a serious bicycle accident, an experienced personal injury lawyer can assist you. By looking over the circumstances of your accident and your injuries, a legal professional can determine whether you may take legal action against the responsible driver. This is particularly valuable because an attorney will understand what factors to take into account when determining the value of your claim, and an attorney will then be able to take the appropriate action necessary to maximize your financial recovery.
