Bike Wrecks Leave Physical and Financial Scars

Cars win the battle on the road. We can win the battle in the courtroom.

Cars and all moving vehicles must be attentive to bicycle riders. Drivers of cars must treat bicycists with the same respect as other drivers and must certainly obey and observe the same laws. Ignorance of the laws will not protect a negligent or careless driver for causing serious personal injury to a bicycle rider.

Staggering Bicycle Accident Stats

Careless and negligent drivers causing serious personal injury to bicycle riders and bicyclists have resulted in some staggering statistics.

A bicyclist is fatally injured every 6 hours
Nearly one million children are injured each year in bicycle related accidents
Nearly half of all bicycle fatalities occur to children under the age of 16
75% of all serious injuries and fatalities from bicycle accidents are from head injuries

Bike accidents are typically caused by inattentive drivers because of the following reasons:

A driver turning directly in front of a bicyclist
A car entering the street from a driveway or parkng spot and pulls out into traffic in front of the bicyclist
A driver's failure to yield at an intersection or running a stop sign or red light
A driver's inattention while driving past a bicyclist
An automobile driver's failure to look both ways when resuming travel after stopping at a stop sign
A drunk or impaired driver

An increase of bike traffic may lead to an increase in bike accidents.

Many cities now recognize the increase in bike traffic and have constructed special bike lanes. Parks have now made bike trails accessible to bicyclists and bike riders. However, many drivers do not respect the bicyclists' rights to share the roads and, more importantly, many bike riders have not been educated on how to legally and safely share the roads with automobiles.
