Michigan Bicycle Accidents Attorney

Bicycles and Auto Accidents in Michigan

Bicycle riding is more than just a recreational activity in America. For many, a bicycle serves as transportation or even a major component of a their daily health and fitness regime. Unfortunately, because bicycle riders often share the roadways with motor vehicles and pedestrians, serious accidents resulting in injury or wrongful death can and do occur. In fact, recent studies reveal that one bicyclist is fatally injured in the U.S. every six hours; the majority of these deaths are the direct result of head injuries.

Even the most precautious cyclists who take extra care to follow the rules of the road can still be injured or killed by inattentive or reckless drivers. These injuries can be devastating for the victims and their families, creating extensive physical injury, emotional distress, and expensive financial obligations that can forever alter their lives. If you or someone you love has been a victim of a bicycle accident, it is in your best interest to contact a Michigan personal injury attorney at Sommers Schwartz as soon as possible.
