Bicycle Accident Attorney Serving Corpus Christi, McAllen, Brownsville and Harlingen
Bicycle Accidents in South Texas
Thousands of people ride bicycles in the United States every day, enjoying it as both a means of entertainment as well as for commuting. However, because bicycles share the streets with motor vehicles, they can be at risk for accidents that usually result in severe injuries. As bicycles offer no protection to a rider and with the speed of a vehicle a factor as well, catastrophic injuries can result.
Often a bicyclist is struck by a car due to the negligence of the driver, who fails to give the right of way to the bicyclist, or doesn't even see them. Driver inattention, speeding, breaking traffic laws and drunk driving are all factors that result in bicycle accidents. Most often a rider will be thrown from their bike, which exacerbates injuries. Typical injuries incurred from such accidents include:
- Fractures
- Road burns
- Head injuries
- Back and neck injuries
- Spinal cord injuries
- Brain injuries
- Fatalities
