What You Need to Know about Bicycle Accidents
As a bicyclist, you're at significantly more risk of injury than others on the road. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), there were almost 460,000 bicycle-related injuries in 2015. Because bicyclists are harder to see and rely more on smooth and obstacle-free roads, bicycle accidents are unfortunately common.
Wearing a helmet, paying attention to your surroundings, and obeying traffic laws can help you avoid injury, but you're still vulnerable. It can be confusing and worrying when you've had a bicycle accident. This is made even worse if you've been injured and cannot work or have medical expenses.
