Car vs. Bicyclist Accidents

Serving Minneapolis, Saint Paul and all of Minnesota

A car accident that involves a bicyclist is more likely to cause serious injury than an accident between two cars.  Any collision between a bicycle and an automobile will always end with the same result, the bicycle will lose.  This is because the bicycle rider is virtually unprotected in the event of a collision between a much larger and heavier motor vehicle.  Even with the protection of a helmet, the rider may suffer from serious head trauma, spinal cord or neck injury, damaged internal organs, serious lacerations, multiple broken bones, and more.  There is a strong need for automobile drivers to take extra care when in close proximity of bicycle riders.
