Get Financial Compensation For Your Medical Bills

Bike riders are often injured due to the negligence of drivers. They are supposed to yield to bike riders, but they do not always do that. They may also follow to closely. There are always risks involved when you start pedaling. Some common risks include:

• Cars or trucks making turns
• Flaws in the road, such as speedbumps, potholes, etc
• Vehicles trying to pass on the right
• Drivers who are under the influence of drugs or alcohol
• Vehicles that are emerging from side streets or driveways
• Lack of visibility due to nighttime lighting or weather conditions
  

When bicycling through traffic, be sure to take safety precautions, such as wearing a helmet, riding in the bike lane when applicable, and wearing reflective clothing if you are riding at night. Even if you take safety measures yourself, serious injuries can still happen. The head, neck, face and back are the parts of the body that are most likely to get injured. Abrasions are among the most common injuries. They are often referred to as road rash. These abrasions are superficial, which means that they only affect the surface of the skin. Fractures, strains and dislocations are other injuries that are extremely common. Head injuries can include concussions and brain injuries. Any type of injury that happens because of a bicycle accident should be treated by medical professionals and documented for your case.
