Bike Accidents in St. George
Bicycle accidents, particularly those involving cars, can result in devastating outcomes. Cyclists are among the most vulnerable road users due to the lack of physical protection. Even with helmets and visibility gear, the force of a collision can lead to serious injuries like fractures, spinal trauma, internal bleeding, or traumatic brain injuries.
In addition to physical injuries, many victims face psychological effects such as anxiety, depression, or post-traumatic stress. Recovering can require hospitalization, surgeries, physical therapy, and time away from work, all of which carry financial burdens.
Victims injured in bike crashes may be entitled to compensation for their medical bills, emotional distress, property damage, and lost income.
