Should I Seek Medical Attention After a Bike Accident?
If you were hit by a car while riding your bike, the first thing you need
to do is seek medical attention. Even if you believe the incident was
relatively mild and you don’t think you were injured, you could
have underlying injuries. In the shock that often follows these types
of collisions, it is not uncommon for cyclists to be unaware of the full
extent of their injuries or to even believe that they weren’t injured
at all. However, you could have internal injuries that may not become
apparent for hours or even days after the accident. Always seek medical
attention after a bicycle accident, especially if you were hit by a car.
