Bicycling and walking are excellent ways to explore Denver’s beautiful landscapes and bustling urban areas. However, with the increasing number of cyclists and pedestrians sharing the roads, accidents are unfortunately becoming more common. At Gray Law Injury, we understand the complexities and emotional toll of bicycle and pedestrian personal injury claims. Our dedicated team is here to help you navigate the legal process, ensuring you receive the compensation you deserve.
Understanding Bicycle and Pedestrian Accidents
Bicycle and pedestrian accidents can occur in various scenarios, often leading to severe injuries due to the lack of protection for cyclists and walkers. Common causes include:
- Distracted Driving: Drivers not paying attention to the road are a significant threat to cyclists and pedestrians.
- Speeding: High-speed collisions often result in more severe injuries.
- Failure to Yield: Drivers failing to yield the right of way to pedestrians or cyclists at crosswalks or intersections.
- Road Conditions: Poorly maintained roads and sidewalks can lead to accidents.
Common Injuries in Bicycle and Pedestrian Accidents
The injuries sustained in these types of accidents can be life-altering. Some common injuries include:
- Fractures and Broken Bones: These often require extensive medical treatment and rehabilitation.
- Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI): Even with helmets, cyclists can suffer from TBIs, which can have long-term effects.
- Spinal Cord Injuries: These injuries can lead to partial or complete paralysis.
- Soft Tissue Injuries: Sprains, strains, and tears in muscles and ligaments are common and can be incredibly painful.
