Bicycle accidents pose a significant threat to public safety. While comprising only 2% of traffic fatalities, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the actual number of bicycle injuries is likely much higher. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates hundreds of thousands of emergency department visits for bicycle-related traumatic brain injuries annually. These accidents result in billions of dollars in economic losses. If you’ve been injured in a bike accident, a bike injury lawyer can help you recover the compensation you deserve.
Contrary to the common misconception that cyclists are primarily at fault in bicycle accidents involving motor vehicles, statistics indicate that motorists are more frequently responsible.
At Phoenix Accident and Injury Law Firm, our bike injury lawyer understand that when a driver’s negligence or reckless behavior causes injuries, victims deserve compensation.
