GRAND PRAIRIE BICYCLE ACCIDENT LAWYER

BICYCLE INJURY ATTORNEY GRAND PRAIRIE

Unfortunately many bicycle accidents can result in injuries that are often catastrophic in nature. They can have a massive impact on the cyclists and their families. A bike offers little protection in a bicycle accident for this reason the injuries sustained are usually severe, even if the rider was wearing appropriate safety gear. For this reason, the loss of earnings and the time taken to recover due to the injuries caused by a bicycle accident can be overwhelming. It is important to have a Grand Prairie area bicycle accidents lawyer from The Goolsby Law Firm on your side from the start to fight for what you need to put your life back together.

Often bicycle accidents happen when bike riders are involved with a collision with a car turning at an intersection, and they fail to see the cyclist. Another frequent type of bike accident happens when a person in a parked car opens a door hitting a passing biker causing damage and injury. A further result can be the bike rider being thrown into the roadway and being run over by a moving truck or car, all because the person in the car failed to properly check the road behind them before opening their door.

Our bicycle accident attorneys at The Goolsby Law Firm realize that drivers of motor vehicles often blame the bicyclist. This can happen when the bike rider is injured so badly that the police cannot take a statement from him or her, leaving the motorist to make up their own version of events.

Remember that your bike should be treated like any other vehicle. You can reduce the chance of being involved in an accident by paying attention to its condition. You should check your tires frequently with a tire gauge before riding, and inflate them to the correct pressure. Your brakes and other bicycle components should be checked regularly, and worn parts replaced. Lastly, the bicycle’s reflectors and lights should be clean and undamaged, so that they are visible in low light. Every little bit helps, also your clothing should be bright enough not to blend in with the roadside.
