Bicycle accidents, particularly those involving cars, can result in severe injuries due to the lack of protection cyclists have on the road. Even low speed collisions can cause serious harm, including broken bones, head injuries, and other types of trauma. In many cases, victims face a lengthy recovery process involving medical treatment, rehabilitation, and time away from work.
