As someone who enjoys riding a bike, you know that the roads aren't always safe. Dangerous drivers can put your life at risk in an instant, just because they're rushing to get somewhere quickly or want to talk on the phone while they drive. When you're hurt, your lawyer can help you get the compensation you need during your recovery, so you can show the driver that you won't stand for negligent acts.
Understanding risk factors for bicycle accidents
Bicycle accidents, like car accidents, can come without warning and cause significant injuries. But there are risk factors that can increase the chance that you are involved in an accident. Understanding those risks can help keep you and your family safe while enjoying biking.
You can fight a claim that your accident was inevitable
When you are in a car accident, the last thing you want to find out is that the authorities believe it to be an inevitable accident. An inevitable accident is one that occurs without negligence as a cause. For instance, if a driver couldn't have anticipated black ice on the road and was driving cautiously, then the accident may be seen as inevitable because of the factors beyond either driver's control.

Walking in the darkness at night can be dangerous, but that doesn't mean it's an excuse for drivers to hit pedestrians. Pedestrians have a right to be on the roads and sidewalks; negligent drivers put them at risk. Sometimes, crashes happen suddenly, and pedestrians happen to become involved as vehicle spin out of control.
