Bike Injury Lawyers

Riding a bike is something that many of us enjoy in the spring, summer and autumn months, but that enjoyment can quickly turn to horror if we are involved in a bike accident. Very little, if anything, protects a cyclist from the hard surface of the road or a passenger vehicle. For this reason, bike accidents often result in catastrophic injuries and death.

It is helpful to ride your bike in such a way that motorists will not hit you even if they do not see you. On very fast roads, cars have less time to see you because they're approaching so fast. Of course, you should avoid fast roads in the first place, if at all possible, unless there's plenty of room for a car and a bike side by side. And if there is such room, then on fast roadways you can practice invisibility by riding to the extreme right. If you're far enough right that you're not in the part of the lane the cars are in, then they'll drive by and won't hit you, even if they never saw you.

When riding a bike as if you were invisible, you are simply riding with the assumption that cars cannot see you. Of course, you want to be seen by motorists and you should help them see you.

If you or a loved one has been injured or killed in a bicycle accident, you may have a valid legal personal injury claim and should contact an experienced bicycle accident attorney in your area today.
