BICYCLISTS AND AUTO ACCIDENTS The Most Common Injuries
Imagining the aftermath of a crash with a bicycle and an automobile is cringe- worthy. Just the thought of what the injuries resulting from the impact of a vehicle versus bicycle crash look like should really drive home the importance of bicycle safety.
federal government survey commissioned by the United States Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration, it was found that roughly one- fourth of bicyclists injured in roadway accidents are rushed to the hospital. It was also determined that about 40% of bicyclists hit by a car succumb to injuries to their arms, 55% of bicyclists hit by a car have damages to their legs, 28% of bicyclists wind up with head injuries, and 30% of those riding a bike suffer damages to their face and neck. About 12% of those bicyclists involved in the accident wind up with injuries to their chest, 13% with damages to their pelvis and lower back, and 11% get injuries to their spine or back. Of course, in these types of accidents, injuries can occur anywhere on the body, as the impact is usually very traumatic. When an accident occurs between a bicyclist and a vehicle, sometimes the injured bicyclist ends up facing an insurance company that avidly fights to avoid paying out a settlement. Astonishingly enough, the bicyclist is even sometimes found at fault or partially at fault. With a skilled and professional bicycle accident lawyer, the other insurance agency’s denials can be overturned, and a justified settlement can be reached.

Because bicyclists involved in a crash typically sustain very serious injuries, they can qualify for legal settlements. Severe injuries mean hefty medical bills. In a
