Broadside car crashes can be deadly on Bellingham roads

Broadside collisions include T-bone accidents, and can happen at intersections, in parking lots, or on the highway when a driver fails to drive defensively, or, worse yet, is drunk or distracted. These accidents can bring severe injury or death, and the financial repercussions can be high.

Spinal columns and head injuries are common injuries to cyclists hit by cars

Bicycling has many benefits – economic, environmental, and healthful. It’s a great way of getting around town, especially here in bike-friendly downtown Bellingham. Some of the roads around Whatcom County offer scenic rides beyond compare, and Galbraith Mountain attracts professional mountain bikers to live here and train. However, in collisions between bicyclists and motor vehicles, the cyclist is no match for the vehicle. All it takes is one distracted or drunk driver to debilitate the cyclist - sometimes permanently. Often these injuries include those to the neck or back, which require surgeries and long term rehabilitative care. Have you been hit by a car on  your bike in Bellingham and it was not your fault? Here are some resources for what to do next.

Who pays after a car accident?

What happens if the at fault driver doesn't have enough insurance? In many states including Washington, all motorists are offered underinsured or uninsured motorist protection by their insurance company.
