Bicycle Accidents


Bicycle Accident Lawyers Serving the Bronx and Victims Coast to Coast

In 2005, 45,000 bicyclists were injured and an additional 784 were killed. Tragically, nearly one-fifth of those killed in bicycle accidents were between 5 and 15 years old (NHTSA).

In addition to the statistic above, bicyclists under age 16 accounted for 35 percent of bicycle accident victims. Approximately 33 percent of bicycle accidents involve automobiles. Due to the low level of physical protection afforded to a bicyclist, even the most skilled rider faces significant danger if a motorist fails to share the road in a responsible manner. Many bicycle-motor vehicle collisions result in traumatic brain injuries.
