Waco Bicycle Accident Attorney
Riding a bicycle is an environmentally friendly, health conscious way to get around Waco. Not only that, but you get the added benefit of saving on gas money and maybe even car insurance. Unfortunately, riding a bicycle is not without its share of potential danger. Bicycle helmets and other safety equipment can serve to lessen the harm done by a crash, but when a bicyclist is struck by a car or truck on the roadway those protections are only of minimal use because the force of impact is likely to be great.
Although riders are to be considered as equal to motorists on the roadway and are expected to abide by the same traffic laws, many drivers refuse to act accordingly. If you have been hit by a negligent driver while riding your bike, contact the Waco bicycle accident attorneys at the Law Offices of Vic Feazell, P.C. at 877-948-4842. We will fight to help you get the compensation you are due for your physical, emotional, and financial injuries.
Bicycle Accident Statistics
Because there are so many fewer bicyclists than motorists, most people lack awareness about how prevalent bicycle accidents are. Sadly, bicyclists face grave consequences due to the unequal treatment they receive on the highways and byways across the country. Consider these disturbing numbers:
- On average, roughly 700 bicyclists are killed each year
- 40,000-50,000 cyclists are injured each year
Families must contend with the consequences of these accidents for months, or even years after they occur, and an injured bicyclist has a right to seek financial compensation for the harm he has sustained.
