Bicycle Accidents in Maine

Although bicycling is a fun, healthy, and overall enjoyable activity for adults and children alike, accidents can result in severe injuries, such as brain and spinal cord injuries. Each year, over half a million individuals undergo treatment in U.S. emergency rooms for injuries associated with bicycle incidents, as per the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The number of minors who have sustained injuries exceeds fifty percent. Regrettably, approximately 700 individuals per year succumb to injuries sustained in bicycle crashes in the United States.

If individuals sustain injuries in bicycle accidents that were at least partially the result of negligence or the use of a defective product (such as defectively manufactured or designed bicycles or helmets), they have the right to pursue compensation for their medical expenses, pain and suffering, lost wages, and related property damage. Compensation may also be available to injured victims or the relatives of individuals who are killed in bicycle accidents through the pursuit of a wrongful death claim. This is one of many reasons why you must speak with a knowledgeable accident attorney after being hurt or losing your loved one to the actions of a negligent motorist in a bicycle or pedestrian collision.
