The personal injury attorneys at Good Guys Injury Law urge all motorists to take the time to notice the possible presence of cyclists on the road.
The police officer who responded to the 911 call reported:
“There was a blood trail from the bike to one of the corners of the intersection that after the accident [the client] walked to, to sit down.”
According to the police report, the officer further stated that the cyclist had an “obvious deformed nose.” The impact was so severe that the head trauma incurred left the client unable to remember what happened. Fortunately for the cyclist, there were witnesses whose recorded statements plainly indicated that the motorist was at fault, thus enabling him to receive full compensation for his injuries.
Ken Christensen, a personal injury lawyer at Good Guys Injury Law, urges motorists to understand the possible injury potential to cyclists in bicycle/car accidents and to take corrective measures necessary to ensure cyclists’ safety. Cyclists are generally unprotected while riding their bicycles; yes, it is the responsibility of the cyclist to wear helmets, reflective equipment, and have numerous lights on their bicycles, but on some occasions, it isn’t enough. A motorist needs to be constantly looking for cyclists in the streets; they are smaller and often difficult to spot. The reality is if a bicycle/car accident does occur, a car will always win, and the consequences for the cyclists will most likely be dire.
