Bicycle Accidents in Washington
Bicycle crashes, especially those involving motor vehicles, can lead to serious and sometimes life-changing injuries. Cyclists have minimal protection in collisions, making them vulnerable to fractures, head trauma, spinal cord injuries, and other significant harm. Even when wearing helmets and safety gear, the force of an impact with a car can result in long recovery periods and substantial medical expenses.
In many cases, these accidents occur due to driver inattention, failure to yield, unsafe lane changes, or poor visibility. When negligence is involved, injured cyclists may have the right to pursue compensation for medical bills, rehabilitation costs, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
