Philadelphia Bicycle Accident Attorneys
Bicycle Accidents
Each year in Pennsylvania and throughout the United States, fatalities and life altering injuries resulting from bicycle accidents increase due to the fact that many motorists are not paying attention. A serious bike accident can change your life significantly causing catastrophic injury or wrongful death. Under the codes of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, bicyclists have the same rights and responsibilities as motor vehicles. However, many car and truck operators do not recognize this.
For decades, the experienced Pennsylvania bicycle accident lawyers at The Beasley Reiff Law Group have worked hard to help educate cyclists and often find that motorists just don't pay attention to bicycle riders and try to blame them for all of the accidents that occur just because they are on a bike. Most bicycle accident cases are fairly severe, if not fatal. Philadelphia has more bicycle commuters per capita than any of the nation's other top ten most populated cities according to new census figures. Philadelphians rate of bicycle riders is more than triple the national average of .55% according to an analysis performed by The Bicycle Coalition of Greater Philadelphia. This statistic calls to issue an interesting query – what happens when a bicyclist is hit or run down by an uninsured or underinsured motorist?
Our experienced Philadelphia bicycle lawyers are well aware that Philadelphia is one of the leading cities in the United States for hit and run bicycle and car accidents by underinsured or uninsured drivers. There is not a week that goes by when there is not a number of bicycle accidents caused by a hit and run driver. It goes without saying that when a car strikes a bicycle, the injuries are generally catastrophic and many times fatal. These types of accidents require a skilled and experienced who also understands Pennsylvania's underinsured and uninsured motorist laws and knows how to explore all assets of recovery.
In the last year, our experienced Pennsylvania bike crash attorneys have noticed an interesting upward trend where many cases of hit and run occurs involving repeat DUI offenders with minimal insurance or no insurance coverage at all where innocent bicycle riders have been catastrophically injured or killed.
