Bicycle Accidents May Cause Major Injuries
Since bicyclists are exposed to the elements, they are at greater risk of injury than motorists. Taking proper precautions can minimize this risk, such as using hand signals, riding in dedicated bicycle lanes, donning protective gear and wearing a helmet. Regardless, bicyclists who wear a helmet and protective gear are still at risk of brain damage, head trauma, abrasions, broken bones and internal injuries caused by falls or blows.
Bike Accident Insurance Coverage
Insurance companies usually cover medical treatment for bike accident injuries, depending on the specific policy and injuries. In addition, some insurance plans provided by supplemental insurance companies cover bicycle damage and theft. The client’s policy determines whether or not compensation or a replacement for the bicycle is available directly through the insurance company.
