Who Is The Best Bicycle Accident Lawyer To Speak With If I Am Injured In A Bicycle Accident?
According to news sources and statistics, there is an epidemic rise in bicycle accidents in Philadelphia and surrounding Pennsylvania communities. Over the past years, I have received a number of calls from riders and their family members who have been catastrophically injured and sometimes tragically killed as they seek to determine who is the best Philadelphia bicycle accident lawyer to represent them or their families. Of course, who is the best lawyer to represent a victim is a subjective decision but this active bicyclist lawyer suggests that over 30 years of experience and knowledge of biking laws would go a long way to determining qualifications that qualify for the best.
I have been an active bicyclist for the last 40 or 45 years and a bicycle accident lawyer since 1979, and I have been the unfortunate victim of multiple bicycle accidents causing significant injuries. I have had my share of lacerations, stitches, casts, and damage to my bicycle beyond repair due to the fact that other individuals on the roadway were not paying attention and struck me while I was lawfully riding one of my bicycles. I am really one of the lucky victims of bicycle accidents and have witnessed claims of many innocent and law abiding bicyclists being killed due to the negligence of others.
Since 1992, there have been more than 48,000 bicycle fatalities across America and there are currently 85 million bicycle riders in the U.S. and one out of every 8 cyclists have been injured or have sustained a brain injury. According to the Brain Injury Association of American, approximately 540,000 bicyclists visit emergency rooms with injuries every year of which 67,000 sustain a permanent and traumatic brain injury. Not so surprisingly, bicycle accidents are under-reported and the summer and fall months have the highest percentage of bicycle related deaths.
