Take these important steps after a serious or fatal bicycle accident:
When you have been seriously injured in a bicycle accident, or if a loved one has been killed in a bike crash, it’s hard to know what to do first. Bicycle collisions often result in more severe injuries, and even fatalities, because bicyclists are not protected from the impact of a crash. After an accident, a bike rider faces a daily struggle to recover from injuries while dealing with medical bills and lost income. And the families of bike riders killed in collisions must face moving forward without their loved one.
It is important to investigate a bike accident immediately while witnesses’ memories and physical evidence are fresh and intact. Sometimes faulty equipment or unsafe roads can make even the safest rider at risk for an accident.

After a serious or fatal bicycle accident, take these steps to help the recovery process
When someone is seriously injured in a bicycle accident, the first days and weeks are spent getting medical treatment and dealing with the new reality of injuries, pain, lost work, and disruption to normal life. When someone dies in a crash, family members are forced to deal with grief, anger, and loss as they struggle to move forward.
After a serious or fatal bicycle collision, an injured person, or the family left behind, incur damages including the cost of current and future medical expenses, lost work and wages, pain and suffering, and loss of enjoyment of life. When the crash is caused by a negligent driver, there may be financial recovery available for the victims.
