Frequently Asked Questions
What injuries are most common for cyclists in crashes with vehicles?
Cyclists struck by vehicles usually suffer head and neck injuries, broken bones, and road rash from being thrown from the bike. The severity usually depends on the vehicle's speed and whether the cyclist was wearing a helmet.
What are the most common causes of bicycle accidents?
Many collisions happen because a driver fails to see a cyclist, misjudges their speed, or turns across their path at an intersection. Distracted driving and failure to yield are frequent factors.
Where do most car-bicycle collisions happen?
A large share of these crashes occur at intersections, where turning vehicles and crossing cyclists have the greatest chance of overlapping paths, much like the intersection involved here.
What is "dooring" and why is it dangerous?
Dooring happens when someone in a parked car opens a door into the path of an oncoming cyclist, giving the rider little time to react. It can cause serious falls or throw a cyclist into traffic.
What to Do After a Bicycle Accident in Noblesville, IN
Anyone involved in a crash between a vehicle and a bicycle should seek medical evaluation right away, even if injuries seem minor at first. Adrenaline can mask pain from fractures or head trauma that only becomes apparent hours later. It's also important to make sure a police report is filed and to get the names and insurance information of anyone involved. Taking photos of the scene, the bicycle, and any visible injuries can help later if questions arise about how the crash happened. Noblesville residents who bike regularly may also want to check their equipment for damage after any collision, even a minor one, before riding again.
