Bicycle Accidents

If you have recently been involved in an bicycle accident and suffered an injury, or if someone close to you has been injured or killed in an bicycle accident, you may have the legal right to obtain compensation. Bicycle accidents may result in serious injuries or death. Serious injuries can permanently negatively impact the victim's health and lifestyle. If the accident was caused by a motor vehicle driver error, someone's negligence, a road hazard, a bike component design flaw or a manufacturing defect, you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries, loss of wages and other losses.

According to the U.S. Department of Transportation's National Highway Safety Administration, in 2002 662 pedal cyclists were killed and roughly another 48,000 were injured.
