In Maryland, especially recently, bicyclists and motorists coexist tenuously. Unfortunately, a simple bike ride can sometimes result in a serious injury. Many motorists and bicyclists are unaware of the rules regarding bike riders on the road. Such ignorance, along with lack of awareness, poor visibility, and other factors, can lead to harmful or even deadly accidents involving bike riders. In rare cases, bicyclists are injured because of driver's blatant indifference to or frustration with bike riders. Our bicycle accident lawyers are extremely experienced in handling cases involving bicycle accident injuries. Some examples of causes of accidents involving bicyclists are:
Bike accidents account for many traffic related injuries and fatalities every year. In a recent report, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reported 48,000 bicycle crash injuries and 662 fatalities resulting from bike and motor vehicle collisions. Of these reported incidents, the most common cause of the collisions was the result of a driver failing to yield to a bike rider on the road. Other leading causes of bike injuries also involved at-fault motorists. Our lawyers are instrumental in getting compensation for cyclists injured by careless and negligent drivers. Injuries caused when a bike is struck by a motor vehicle can be devastating. Bicyclists are almost completely exposed while on the road and injuries suffered by them in accidents are often life changing. As a result of a bike crash, a biker may be permanently injured in a way that inhibits his or her ability to perform a job and participate in everyday activities or hobbies .
