Bicycle Accidents

Michigander’s love the outdoors and bicycling or cycling around the city or beautiful countryside is a wonderful way to spend a day but be sure to keep a close eye out for motorists as they are often not looking out for you. According to Michigan Traffic Facts, in the year 2012 1,981 auto accidents involved a bicycle; with 1,598 injuries and 20 deaths. The unfortunate truth is motorists are not as aware as they should be. So when out on your bike make sure to you are visible; use clear hand signals when turning and use reflective clothing with rear and front lights when riding in the evening or early morning. Motorists are often mistaken that they have the right of way when encountering bicyclists or cyclist which is simply not true. Cyclists have every right to the roadway, so if a driver violates that right you need an attorney with experience and understanding to fight for your legal rights.
