Contact in Bicycle Accidents

When I was a kid, we rode our bikes everywhere, even where we may not should have been riding them. On Saturday mornings, I would get up and head straight out the back door to grab my bike and head out to find my friends…that is unless I had to mow the lawn first. I recall one day when we were all riding down the street on our way to the park when a car of teenagers coming the opposite direction swerved over toward us like they were going to run us over. All of us swerved to our right and up onto the curb and/or grass. Thankfully, none of us crashed, but each of our hearts was pounding!

Bicycle Accident Injuries

I don’t let my 13-year-old ride around our neighborhood on her bike without Sara or me by her side…period. There are lots of other 13-year-olds that ride around on their bikes without their parents, but not mine. As a personal injury attorney, my firm often handles cases that involve a bicycle accident injury. Sometimes, having a dad that is a personal injury attorney has its drawbacks – which will come up in future blogs, no doubt.
