Bicycle accidents cause untold pain and suffering to innocent victims.
Accidents can take many forms and have numerous causes. Accidents and
injuries may involve motor vehicles, defective roads, or unsafe equipment.
Bicycle accidents involve a large number of head injuries. Thousands of
bicyclists are injured or
killed in crashes with motor vehicles. Many are younger than 16 years old accounted for a large percentage of
those seriously injured. Each year over 150,000 children get treatment
in hospital emergency departments for bicycle-related head injuries.
Larry King Law helps victims of serious bicycle accident injuries. Our
bicycle accident lawyers encourage the proper use of approved bicycle helmets. There are states
and local laws requiring the use of helmets, particularly for young riders.
