Injured in an Ann Arbor biking accident?
Bike riders are especially vulnerable to severe injury. Aside from a helmet, a cyclist is not protected from the impact of a motor vehicle and a helmet may not be able to protect a rider from injury in a serious accident. As a result, many cyclists suffer major injuries.
The months and years following a bicycle collision are often difficult for a person as well as his or her family members. To recover from an injury, especially one that is catastrophic, an individual may acquire steep medical fees for hospitalization, medication, surgery, physical therapy, counseling, and other expenses. Depending on the severity of the injury, an accident survivor may require construction at their home to accommodate for wheel chair accessibility or a specific disability. While many injured bicyclists are able to return to work after some time off to heal, many others cannot carry out the same job duties as before or may not be able to work ever again.
Unfortunately, these are only some of the many consequences that recklessness can cause.
