San Francisco Bicycle Accident Lawyer

San Francisco bicycle accident lawyerAccording to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), about 49,000 bicyclists were injured in traffic collisions in the United States in 2012. 726 were killed. In the majority of cases, those bicycle accidents are the fault of the motor vehicle driver, not the bike rider, but the cyclist is the one who usually suffers the more serious injuries. Bike riders do not have as much protection during a collision as drivers do, so as a result, an accident is much more dangerous for them.
