Bicycle Accidents
The most common type of bicycle accident is a collision with a motor vehicle. Bicycle accidents are most likely to occur in urban areas, during the daylight hours, and on weekends. If you are involved in a bicycle accident, it is important to seek medical attention immediately. Even if you do not feel injured, you may have sustained injuries that are not immediately apparent. You should also report the accident to the police.
Bicycle injury law is a complex area of law that can vary from state to state. In general, however, bicycle accident victims may be able to recover damages for their injuries if they can prove that the other party was negligent.
In addition to negligence, bicycle accident victims may also be able to recover damages for their injuries if the other party was reckless or intentional. Reckless conduct is conduct that shows a conscious disregard for the safety of others. Intentional conduct is conduct that is done with the intent to harm another person.
