Bicycle Accident Information
A bicyclist is fatally injured every six hours in the United States. In 2004, 725 bicyclists were killed in auto accidents, and 41,000 bike riders suffered injuries as the result of automobile accidents. 18% of those fatally injured were under 14 years old.
Please remember, a bicycle is a vehicle. Bicyclists share a complex traffic environment with other larger forms of transportation. As a bicyclist, you are more likely to get seriously injured because you are sharing the roadways with automobiles and other larger vehicles. Also, you are extremely vulnerable to significant injuries.
Each year in California, over one hundred people are killed and thousands more are injured in bicycle accidents. Please feel free to call us now at 1-800-655-6585 or click here for a FREE CONSULTATION with an experienced bicycle accident attorney.
