A bike accident is a collision, often with a motor vehicle. It can result in serious injury and even fatalities. Property damage also often occurs. If you or someone you love has been involved in a bike accident, consulting a lawyer from Hinkle Law Offices, LLC. can help you get the compensation you deserve.
While bicycles aren’t built to stand up to collisions, they’re more maneuverable and can often avoid instances where a car would be damaged. This also means that they’re easily overlooked when motorists are maneuvering through traffic. In 2013, 743 bicycle accidents resulted in a fatality. This isn’t a significant number of traffic accidents for that year—just over two percent—but it demonstrates that bike accidents are still something to be concerned about.
If a fatality hasn’t occurred, there are still injuries to be dealt with and property damage to consider. Even minor injuries can turn into major ones if they’re not immediately treated. When the police arrive at the scene of your bike accident, make sure to get your statement included on the accident report. Don’t engage the motorist at the scene; that’s the responsibility of your representation.
