What Should Cyclists Know About Serious Traffic Crashes?
Serious bicycle accidents can cause significant harm because cyclists have far less physical protection than people inside motor vehicles. Common concerns include head trauma, broken bones, internal injuries, and damage to the spinal cord.
After a bicycle collision, medical evaluation can help identify injuries that may not be immediately obvious. People involved may also benefit from preserving photographs, witness information, and other records connected to what happened. Documentation of road conditions, vehicle positions, and visible damage can provide useful information later.
Cyclists can reduce some risks by wearing a properly fitted helmet, using lights and reflective gear, and following traffic signals. Motorists should check carefully for cyclists before turning, changing lanes, or opening vehicle doors.
