Could You Be Due Compensation from a Serious Bicycle Accident?

Recreational use of bicycles can be a fun, healthy form of exercise that the whole family can enjoy. But what should you do when your fun outing turns grim due to a serious bicycle accident in Palm Beach?

Bicycle accidents are a common occurrence; they can cause serious injuries as a result. According to the center for disease control and prevention, upwards of 500,000 people in the United States are treated in the emergency room due to bicycle-related injuries. Sadly, more than 700 people die due to bicycle related accidents each year.

What Causes Serious Bicycle Accidents?

Bicycle accidents can be caused by a variety of factors:

  • A driver pulling out of a driveway or parking lot in front of a bicyclist
  • Drugs or alcohol
  • A driver failing to yield
  • A driver ignoring a red light or stop sign
  • A driver turning into a bicyclist (via a u-turn or at a crosswalk)

You Could Be Due Compensation

Over 37% of all bicycle accidents are due to a driver being under the influence of alcohol. If your bicycle accident was due to the negligence or careless driving of another individual, you could be entitled to compensation.

If you or a loved one has experienced injuries related to a serious bicycle accident, it is important to contact an experienced Palm Beach accident attorney. They will help to protect your rights and determine the best course of action.
