Bicycle accidents are more common than you may think and if you spend a considerable time on the road, there is a big chance that you will see or be part of one. The Bicycle Almanac stated that accidents involving bicycles are not reported properly. Majority of police departments, which include many in Texas, do not make a report if nobody suffered an injury or if the damage to the vehicle that is involved in the accident is not severe enough to necessitate a tow truck. However, statistics show that there is always the risk of accident every time a cyclist goes on the road. Because such an accident often results to serious injuries, you should be prepared for long-term care and huge amounts of lost incomes.

It is advised that cyclist applies proper caution and follows traffic laws but even then, bicycles are not prone to the actions of negligent drivers. In fact, it has been recorded that a bicyclist suffers injury in a road accident involving a motor vehicle every six hours. Majority of cyclists who are injured by motorists in the United States are young people below 16 years old.

There are many causes for bicycle accidents. These include parked vehicles that open their doors suddenly without looking if there are cyclists around, drivers who do not yield to cyclists, distracted driving, driving while intoxicated, cars going into traffic in front of cyclists and vehicles making a turn suddenly without looking.

If you are injured in bicycle accidents, it is recommended that you get in touch with an experienced lawyer right away. An experienced legal counsel will aid in sorting through the complexities of insurance claims and make sure that your rights are protected.
