Bicycle Accidents

Each year, bicycle riders suffer a staggering number of serious injuries or even fatalities in accidents. Many of them involve motor vehicles, and statistics show that those accidents are most often the fault of the automobile driver.

According to the NHTSA, in 2009 there were 51,000 bicycle riders injured in traffic accidents within the United States. As most bike riders know, automobile drivers often do not pay attention to their surroundings and they rarely respect the rights of cyclists. This equates to serious accidents involving bicycles. In a moment’s time, a driver can make a sudden move that endangers the lives of cyclists.

Accidents Happen

All too often, injuries occur when motorists fail to check their blind spot before changing lanes. They also make right turns directly in front of oncoming bicyclists, or sideswipe riders as they travel on the shoulder of the road. Bicyclists sustain many other serious injuries each year from thoughtless drivers who aren’t paying attention.
