Facts About Bicycle Injuries
According to the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration,
there were approximately 45,000 bicycle accident injuries and nearly 1,000
deaths in 2005. Of these bicycle accidents, roughly one-third involved
automobiles.
When an accident occurs between a bicyclist and another vehicle, the bicyclist
is at a huge disadvantage. This vulnerability commonly leads to serious
injuries including traumatic brain injuries, paralysis, broken bones,
road rash or even death. Bicycle riders can face long periods of recovery
from their injuries following the accident resulting in significant lost
income as well as significant medical costs.
Rio Rancho Injury Lawyer Protecting Pedestrians
If you or a loved one has been seriously injured or killed when hit by a car or truck while walking, you should consult with an experienced pedestrian accident attorney. While sidewalks, crosswalks, and parking lots are intended to provide a safe way to travel for pedestrians, accidents still happen because drivers of cars and trucks don't always give their full attention to the roadway in front of them.
When a pedestrian is hit by a car or truck, even at low speeds, the impact can result in:
- Neck and back injury
- Spinal cord injury or paralysis
- Wrongful death
- Traumatic brain injury
- Broken bones
- Head injury or trauma
Pedestrian accidents can also happen when car and truck drivers drive at excessive speeds, preventing them from reacting quickly enough.
