What Is The Average Settlement For Bicycle Accident Claims?
Bicycle accident settlements can vary significantly depending on the circumstances of the accident and the harm the plaintiff suffered as a result. Thus, there is no such thing as an average settlement amount for bicycle accident claims. Nevertheless, an experienced attorney can help you determine what compensation you may be able to recover under the specific facts of your case.
Of course, no two bicycle accident cases are exactly alike. Our California bicycle accident lawyers know which factors to weigh and how much weight to give each factor. We can help you determine your claim’s worth, so you don’t accept a lowball offer from an insurance company that leaves you in bad financial straits a few years down the road.
Bicycle Accident Statistics
According to the National Safety Council (NSC), the number of cyclist fatalities in traffic accidents has increased gradually in the United States in recent years. For example, in 2010, approximately 793 cyclists died in traffic accidents—but in 2019, a staggering 1,089 cyclists died in traffic accidents.
However, these fatality statistics do not even take into account the hundreds of thousands more that are injured in non-fatal bicycle accidents every year. Some non-fatal bicycle accidents lead to devastating injuries and disfigurement that victims must endure for the rest of their lives.
If you have suffered injuries after a California bicycle accident, contact one of our California bicycle accident lawyers to discuss your case and see how we can help you fight for your rights.
Common Bicycle Accident Injuries
In most cases, state laws require bicyclists to travel on roadways with passenger vehicles and trucks. Unfortunately, bicycles offer much less protection to riders than normal vehicles do. Thus, when accidents happen involving bicycles, cyclists often suffer more severe injuries than motorists due to the lack of outer protection.
Common bicycle accident injuries include:
- Spinal cord injuries;
- Concussions;
- Broken bones;
- Traumatic brain injuries;
- Scrapes and bruises;
- Road rash;
- Internal bleeding;
- Dismemberment;
- Scarring; and
- Sprained or pulled muscles.
Approved bicycle helmets can reduce the risk of suffering a catastrophic head injury during a bicycle crash. However, even with a helmet, bicycle accidents can have deadly consequences.
If you have sustained these or other injuries in a California bicycle accident, be sure to seek medical attention as soon as possible. Then, speak with a qualified personal injury attorney to discuss your options for recovery.
