Causes of Bicycle Accidents

Most motor vehicle drivers pay careful attention to other cars and trucks on the road. But, you only see what you’re looking for, so many drivers don’t see cyclists; their small size compared to other motor vehicles makes them easy to overlook.

Bicycle accidents are also caused because drivers don’t acknowledge bicycles as vehicles. According to New Mexico State law, bicyclists are granted the same rights and are subject to the same responsibilities as motor vehicle drivers. But often motorists don’t yield the right of way or observe other applicable traffic laws, putting bicyclists at risk.

Effects of Bicycle Accidents

Bicycles don’t offer much protection in a collision, so bicyclists are likely to suffer serious injuries if involved in a collision with a car or truck. Injuries may include:

• Broken bones
• Spinal cord injuries
• Traumatic brain injuries

Victims of bicycle accidents may be entitled to compensation for:

• Injuries and related medical bills
• Pain and suffering
• Time away from work and lost wages
• Cost of repairs or bike replacement, possibly even loss of use
• Loss of enjoyment of your life while recovering

The bike accident lawyers of Berenson & Associates, PC can help you fight for just compensation.
