Bicycle Injuries After An Accident

Bicyclists involved in
motor vehicle crashes often have more serious injuries than other types of accidents. Since cyclists have much less protection than occupants of motor vehicles, even “minor” collisions with vehicles can have severe consequences. Some of the most common injuries in bicycle accidents include:


Other common injuries from bicycle accidents include fractures, broken bones,
neck and back injuries, scrapes, contusions, and road rash. 

Medical and Hospital Costs for Bicycle Injuries

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported that in 2013, there were 494,000 emergency room visits due to bicycle related injuries in the United States. These fatal and non-fatal injuries from bicycle crashes resulted in lifetime medical costs and productivity losses of $10 billion. It is imperative to speak with Pearland bicycle accident attorney James Zier as soon as possible after an accident. Insurance companies will frequently deny liability and blame the bicyclist. These severe injuries put extreme financial pressure on families, not only because of the extensive medical treatment and resulting bills, but also because of the lost wages and loss of future earnings.

Wrongful Death Lawsuits for Surviving Family Members

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), a total of 857 bicyclists were killed in crashes with motor vehicles in 2018. The Texas Department of Transportation reported that there were 68 pedal cyclist fatalities in Texas in 2019. Although most people believe that children riding bicycles are the vast majority of fatalities in bicycle accidents, the reality is the opposite. According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, 88 percent of bicyclist deaths are adults ages 20 and older. Whether you have lost a
child, parent, or spouse due to a negligent driver, we can help you obtain justice and get answers.
