Bicycle accidents can leave riders facing serious injuries, medical treatment, lost income, and long-term physical recovery. Because cyclists have very little physical protection during a collision, accidents involving passenger vehicles often result in severe injuries and significant medical complications.
Many bicycle accidents happen because drivers fail to share the road safely, fail to yield, make unsafe turns, drive distracted, or fail to notice cyclists traveling alongside traffic.
Cyclists throughout Indiana face unique roadway dangers involving intersections, congested traffic areas, distracted drivers, road hazards, poor visibility conditions, and unsafe passing situations.
Serious bicycle accident injuries may involve traumatic brain injuries, fractures, spinal injuries, internal trauma, road rash injuries, and long-term physical limitations capable of affecting both daily life and future employment.
In some situations, insurance companies or opposing parties may attempt to dispute liability or minimize the seriousness of bicycle-related injuries after an accident occurs.
