Michigan Bicycle Accidents

Riding a bike is a great way to get around, but riders are more exposed to the dangers of eh road. Michigan bicycle crash statistics are shocking. There were 1,723 bicycle-vehicle crashes reported in the state in 2017, and the statistics show that out of that total, 21 bicyclists lost their lives and 1,363 others were hurt.

Driving a car to work is sometimes far more difficult, time-consuming, and expensive than simply using a bike, and some employers will even give rewards to workers who commute by bicycle. Of course, riding a bike is a milestone for young people and active teenagers who do not yet have a driver’s license. Unfortunately, many motorists fail to respect bikers’ rights, which leads to major bicycle accidents in Michigan.

Personal injuries sustained in bicycle crashes may give rise to settlement claims. Families of victims who lost their lives in bicycle accidents may be able to bring a wrongful death claim in Michigan, and injured parties may also be eligible for compensation.
