Bicycle Accidents in Indiana
Collisions involving bicycles and motor vehicles often result in serious injuries, as bicyclists have little protection against the impact of a car. In Indiana, bicycle accidents are frequently caused by distracted driving, failure to yield, and limited visibility at intersections. Even at low speeds, these crashes can lead to head trauma, fractures, and other serious injuries.
Statewide reports indicate that intersections are particularly dangerous for bicyclists, with many accidents occurring due to vehicles failing to yield the right-of-way. Wearing helmets, using reflective gear, and following traffic laws can help reduce the risk of severe injuries, but cyclists remain vulnerable when sharing the road with larger vehicles.
Victims of bicycle accidents may face medical expenses, lost wages, and long-term recovery. If you or someone you love has been involved in a bicycle crash, understanding your legal rights is crucial. Local Accident Reports can provide assistance in navigating the aftermath of an accident.
