There’s a feeling you get when riding a bike, whether it’s your only way to get around or if you’re just biking for recreation. You’re using the force of your own body to travel in a clean, efficient way. The wind blows past you as you get a healthy bit of a exercise. Communities are making it easier than ever before to ride your bicycle.
But as with any means of transportation, accidents can happen. A motor vehicle could hit you while you’re on your bike. Because you’re more exposed to the elements, bicycle accidents can leave extensive injuries and expensive damage, including medical bills and months or even years of medical treatment. A bicycle accident will also probably leave you having to deal with an insurance company that might fight your claim: It’s that classic saying, “adding insult to injury,” come to life.
