Bicyclists who are struck by other vehicles may sustain a variety of serious injuries, including broken bones, brain injuries, and spinal cord injuries. A serious injury may even result in death. As cycling continues to become more popular, it's important for motorists and bicyclists alike to be mindful of each other when sharing the road.
If you sustained a personal injury in a bicycle accident, you may be entitled to compensation. Don't let the insurance company control what happens next. Turn to Metzger Wickersham. We aggressively advocate for injury victims to pursue the maximum compensation they are entitled to under the law.
In Pennsylvania, a bicycle is considered a vehicle and is governed by a general set of rules common to all vehicles, as well as rules specifically for bicycles. But even the most law-abiding cyclist is still vulnerable on the roadways. Helmets and crash protection sometimes is no match against a motorized vehicle. A serious injury can occur in an instant.
Some motorists have difficulty with bicyclists who share the roadway. A driver's "road rage" could lead to a collision with the cyclist. In other cases, a cyclist may crash into a door if a driver is not looking while trying to exit the vehicle.
