Common Bicycle Accident Injuries

Even with the proper safety gear, such as helmets and reflective clothing, bicyclists are relatively unprotected in the event of a motor vehicle collision. Cars, motorcycles, and other types of vehicles are much bigger, heavier, and travel at faster speeds than bicycles. Furthermore, drivers and passengers in automobiles are protected by seatbelts, airbags, and crash-resistant car doors and frames. Unfortunately, all this means that bicyclists typically suffer far more severe injuries than others involved in the accident.

Some of the most common types of injuries that result from bicycle accidents include:

• Broken bones, including multiple fractures
• Serious cuts, scrapes, and lacerations
• Road rash and burns
• Accidental limb amputation
• Spinal cord, neck, and back injuries
• Internal organ damage and bleeding
• Traumatic brain injuries

These and other common bicycle accident injuries often require extensive medical care, including both immediate emergency attention and ongoing—sometimes lifelong—treatment. The cost of treating these injuries can be exorbitant. Compounded with lost income/wages from time taken off work to receive medical care, as well as lost future income in instances where injuries prevent the victim from returning to work, the total cost of a bicycle accident can be overwhelming.
