Bicycle Accidents in Maryland
Bicycle accidents are a significant concern in Maryland, particularly in areas like Ocean City, which attract numerous cyclists and tourists. Each year, many individuals suffer injuries in bicycle-related incidents, often due to collisions with vehicles or hazards on the road. These accidents can lead to a range of injuries, from minor scrapes and bruises to more severe conditions requiring extensive medical treatment.
