Cycling Accidents
Collisions and accidents involving cyclists can be devastating. The huge disparity in size between a car or truck and a bicycle or motorcycle means the cyclist nearly always suffers serious injuries in such accidents. In some instances, a motorist who sideswipes a cyclist keeps driving away, rather than stoppng to render aid. Such hit-and-runs not only evidence a lack of basic human compassion on the part of the at-fault driver; they are illegal. In the case of a hit-and-run, a cyclist should consider making a claim under his or her own uninsured motorist insurance, which may provide coverage in cases where the identity of the at-fault driver is unknown.
