Bicycle & Pedestrian Accident Attorneys Columbus OH
No matter how careful a bicyclist is, the road is a dangerous place to drive or walk or be on. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 726 bicyclists were killed in crashes with motor vehicles in 2014. A bicyclist hit by a car may suffer catastrophic injuries that include head trauma and/or paralysis, and even death.
Bicyclists are subject to many of the same laws and protections as motorists. However, they are often involved in a collision with a motorist who:
- Exhibits a lack of driver awareness
- Follows too closely
- Drives recklessly
- Operates a vehicle under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs
