Bicyclist Injuries After a Crash
When on a bicycle, a rider is protected by their helmet, and maybe additional paddings like kneepads and elbow pads. Otherwise, they are completely unprotected and rely on the motorists and pedestrians around them to avoid them. When an accident does happen, the bicyclist could be severely injured.
Bicyclists' injuries after a crash often include:
- Permanent scarring
- Spinal cord injuries
- Sprains, strains, and broken bones
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
If you are seriously injured in a bicycle accident, then 911 should be called to get emergency responders on the scene at once. If you are injured but not sure how badly, then you should at least go to urgent care right away. In no situation should you not seek medical attention. You need to know the extent of your injuries and create a note in your medical record that shows when your injuries happened and why.
Common Causes of Bicycle Accidents
People often blame bicyclists for the accidents they are involved in, unfairly saying bicyclists clog the road and increase danger. However, the road must be shared by everyone, including drivers and cyclists. An investigation into your crash may reveal that negligence rests with the other party.
Bicycle accidents can be caused by:
- Drivers who change lanes without checking mirrors.
- Drivers who drive in designated bike lanes.
- Drivers who speed or tailgate when around a cyclist.
- Pedestrians who open storefront doors without looking.
If you get hit by a driver, we can file your claim against their auto insurance policy. If you were hit by a pedestrian, then the case could be a little more complicated. You might file against an insurance policy they own. Or we might file against an insurance policy held by the property owner of the location you were injured, such as if your bicycle accident occurred in a parking lot without speed bumps to slow down drivers.
