Nationwide Bicycle Accident Law Firm
Bicycle riders across the United States are held to the same standards as other motorists, meaning they are afforded the same rights and responsibilities as cars and motorcycles. This includes following traffic laws, yielding where appropriate, and signaling turns. Unfortunately, when a cyclist is involved in an accident, the lack of physical protection can lead to severe injuries, often requiring extensive and costly medical treatment and rehabilitation.
It is crucial for victims of bicycle accidents to understand their rights and seek the help of an experienced bicycle accident attorney who can help them pursue compensation for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other expenses. Legal representation can make a significant difference in holding negligent drivers accountable and securing the compensation needed for recovery.
The best way to learn about your rights and options after being injured in a bicycle accident is to contact Maxx Compensation directly. Please call 877-4-Maxx Law or 877-462-9952 today to schedule your free confidential consultation.

National Bicycle Laws and Bike Safety Guidelines
In severe cases, bicycle accidents can cause life-threatening injuries. Wearing a properly fitted helmet is one of the best ways to reduce injury risk and is required by law for younger riders in many states. For example, some states mandate helmets for cyclists under 16. Safety laws also require riders to maintain full control, keep both hands on the handlebars, and be able to stop quickly in emergencies.
Carrying bulky items while riding increases accident risk and is often regulated by local and state laws to help prevent unnecessary crashes. Following safety guidelines and consulting with a bicycle accident attorney after an accident can help protect your rights and secure the compensation you deserve.
Visibility is key to preventing common injuries in bicycle accidents. Cyclists should wear bright, fluorescent, or reflective clothing to increase visibility both during the day and at night. Bicycles should also be equipped with front and rear lights or reflectors. Additionally, riders should always travel in the same direction as traffic and stay within designated bike lanes to reduce the risk of being near larger vehicles that may not have a clear view of the cyclist.
The Stats On Bike Accidents
Bicycles can be just as hazardous as other vehicles. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that cyclists face a greater risk of injury and death in crashes compared to motor vehicle occupants. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, from 2010 to 2021, cyclist fatalities ranged from 623 to a peak of 966, with an average of approximately 800 per year. In 2021 alone, around 41,615 cyclists were injured, and over the past five years, there were an estimated 45,400 injury-only bicycle accidents annually.
