Bicycle Accident Statistics

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reported that in 2008, 52,000 people were injured in bicycle accidents and 716 cyclists were killed. The majority of people killed in bicycle accidents were involved in a collision with a car or truck.

Common Injuries from Bicycle Accidents

Data provided by the Massachusetts Department of Transportation shows that there have been nearly 500 bicycle accidents reported over the last five years in the city of Boston. Unfortunately, injuries in these cases are often severe because bicyclists do not have much protection from the force of a vehicle slamming into them. Additionally, most bicyclists sustain a second impact with the ground after being struck by a vehicle. It is not uncommon for our Boston bicycle accident lawyers to help clients who have sustained the following injuries:

• Severe lacerations and road rash
• Broken or dislocated bones
• Amputations or crush injuries
• Internal organ damage or internal bleeding
• Traumatic brain injuries
• Concussions
• Open head wounds
• Spinal cord injuries with paralysis
• Other severe back and neck injuries
• Significant scarring and disfigurement

In addition to these physical injuries, bicycle accident victims in Boston regularly suffer from significant emotional and psychological trauma as a result of the crash and their subsequent injuries. Our bike accident attorneys in Boston strive to ensure that clients receive compensation for all of their injuries, physical and non-physical.
