If you or a loved one have been in a bicycle accident, a personal injury lawsuit may help cover costs like:
Medical bills and lost wages, including follow-up care and extended unemployment)
Pain and suffering damages, such as physical agony or psychological anguish
Wrongful death damages like loss of income and loss of the person’s unique companionship and guidance
Traumatic brain and spinal cord injuries require long-term financial and medical support. According to the Bicycle Helmet Safety Institute, bicycle accidents are the leading recreational cause of head injuries that end up in the ER (nearly double the amount of the second-leading cause, which is football injuries).
In particular, young children are more likely to die from head injuries than adult cyclists, and more than three times as likely to require hospitalization for head injuries. Almost three-quarters of all fatal bicycle crashes involved a head injury.
A brain injury settlement or damages award could help improve your healthcare options, protect the financial well-being of your family, and afford a life of dignity for those with permanent brain damage.
Head, brain, neck, and spine injuries are often devastating, causing life-altering or life-ending harm. Contact the Brain Injury Law Center at (757) 821-5423 for help seeking the compensation you need to recover and survive.
