Due in large part to the increase in popularity of the Tour de France, the number of people participating in bicycling activities continues to climb. As more bicyclists share the road with vehicles, more accidents are bound to happen. Unfortunately, more than a thousand people lose their lives in bicycle accidents every year. Approximately 75% of all serious injuries occur as a result of injuries to the brain. Obviously, negligent drivers are a major factor in causing bicycling accidents.

Bicycle injury cases often involve very serious injuries. As a result, it is critically important to investigate any and all available areas of recovery. Most people are unaware that their own automobile insurance can provide additional benefits in the form of uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage. These benefits come into play in hit-and-run cases as well as accidents where the at-fault driver has limited insurance.

Unlike many automobile accidents, liability is often hotly disputed in auto-bicycle accidents. Many defendant drivers will attempt to blame the bicyclist for the accident. If you have been seriously hurt as a result of an auto-bicycle accident, please call or email us as soon as possible. In many cases it is necessary to conduct a thorough accident investigation early while evidence (including the bicycle) is still preserved and witnesses� memories are fresh.
