Low Visibility
When you hop on your bike for a relaxing ride, the last thing on your mind is probably the risk of a low-visibility bicycle accident. But the truth is, these incidents are more common than you might think, and they can have serious consequences. Whether you’re cycling in the early morning, late evening, or even during the day in poor weather conditions, low visibility can make it difficult for drivers to see you on the road.
At the Law Offices of Roderick T. McIver, PLLC, we understand the dangers of low visibility under bicycle accidents and the devastating impact they can have on you and your loved ones. Whether it’s poor lighting, inclement weather, or negligent drivers, these factors can all contribute to increased risk for cyclists on the road. If someone else is at fault for your bicycle accident, you can seek compensation for your injuries.
Common Injuries from Bicycle Accidents
Common injuries from bicycle accidents include fractures, lacerations, head injuries, and spinal cord injuries. Other common injuries may include road rash, sprains and strains, dislocations, and contusions. In severe cases, bicycle accidents can result in internal injuries or organ damage.
Possible Damages We Can Recover in Bicycle Accidents
Possible damages include medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and long-term rehabilitation costs. In some cases, punitive damages may also be awarded if the defendant’s actions were particularly egregious or intentional.
Additionally, compensation for property damage or other losses related to the incident can also be sought in a personal injury claim. It is important to document all expenses and losses related to the injury to ensure that you are fully compensated for your damages.
