Fresno Bike Accident Injuries
After suffering a serious injury in a Fresno bicycle accident, victims may face accruing medical and living expenses. If a victim’s injuries prevent them from returning to work, lost wages may also add to stress of financial worries. Cyclists who have been injured through no fault of their own may be entitled to financial damages from the party or parties responsible for the accident. Depending on the circumstances surrounding the bicycle collision, various parties or entities could be financially liable, including:
- Motor vehicle driver
- Government agency
- Construction contractor
- Bicycle manufacturer
- Bicycle repair shop
- Helmet manufacturer
- Bike part manufacturer.

Types of Bicycle Accident Injuries
More than 51,000 cyclists were injured in bicycle accidents in 2009, reports the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The National Safety Council reports bicycle accident related injuries and deaths cost more than four billion every year in the U.S. Cyclists tend to suffer from more serious, and more expensive injuries, because of the lack of protection offered by a bike. Bikes do not have airbags, seatbelts or even a steel cage to protect a cyclist from severe harm. Bicycle accidents often result in open or closed head injuries, severe brain injuries, coma, broken bone injuries, skull fractures, facial injuries, broken teeth, severe road rash, severed limb injuries, lacerations and wrongful death.
