Bicycle Accident Claims

As growing numbers of new vehicles take to the roads in the United States every year, the risk to bicyclists increases substantially.  6.2 million traffic accidents take place on an annual basis, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, and 2% of those accidents involve bicycles.  That translates to approximately 124,000 bicycle accidents, which result in 50,000 injuries and 700 deaths.  As bicycles afford no manner of protection for the rider, save for possibly a helmet and pads, accident victims can sustain injuries that include broken bones, internal hemorrhaging, spinal cord damagebrain damage, and coma.

One of the largest contributors to bicycle accidents is negligence on the part of motorists.  Many car, truck, and SUV drivers simply to not pay adequate attention while driving, and collide with bicyclists at stop lights, stop signs, and roads where two or more lanes merge.  If you have been harmed in a bicycle accident, there is a very strong chance you will be able to recover damages, and a Fort Bend injury lawyer can provide you with help in seeking that injury compensation.
