Even though many cyclists wear helmets and take other safety precautions, people hurt in bicycle accidents may sustain a variety of severe injuries, including broken bones, brain injuries, and spinal cord injuries. A cyclist's serious injury may even result in death. As cycling continues to grow, motorists and bicyclists alike need to be mindful of each other when sharing the road.
If you were injured in a bicycle accident, you may be entitled to compensation. Flager & Yockey, P.C. has the resources and skills to get injury victims the full compensation they deserve.
Pennsylvania and New Jersey law considers a bicycle a vehicle. Bicycles are governed by a general set of rules common to all vehicles, as well as rules specifically for bicycles. But even the most law-abiding cyclist still remains vulnerable to injuries on the roadways. Helmets may minimize or reduce the risk of head injury in a bicycle accident, but the rider can still sustain severe injuries.
Some motorists may resent bicyclists who share the roadway. They may believe cyclists don't deserve to ride on the same roads. A driver's "road rage" could lead to a collision with the cyclist, which could prove to be a factor in determining negligence. In other cases, a cyclist may slam into a car door if a driver is not looking while trying to exit a vehicle.
