Common Types of Injuries From Bicycle Accidents
Bicycle accidents can cause a wide range of injuries, some of which may not be visible right away.
Here are four of the most common types of bicycle-related injuries:
- Head and brain injuries — The impact of being thrown off a bike after a crash or collision can lead to serious head and brain injuries including concussions, skull fractures, traumatic brain injury (TBI), or even death.
- Spinal cord injury — When cyclists fall, they often land on their back or neck, putting pressure on the spinal cord that could result in permanent paralysis if it is severe enough.
- Broken bones — Bicyclists frequently suffer broken bones due to collisions with cars, trees, or other objects while riding. Sometimes these injuries require surgery and lengthy rehabilitation times for recovery.
- Soft tissue damage — Muscle sprains and strains as well as ligament tears can occur when someone falls off their bike during an accident and lands awkwardly. These soft tissue injuries can take months to heal, depending on severity level.
What Is a Common Settlement Amount for Bicycle Accidents?
Generally speaking, settlement amounts for bicycle accidents can vary widely and can range from a few thousand dollars to several hundred thousand dollars or more. The amount of compensation awarded will depend on the specific circumstances of each case.
Factors that may affect the settlement amount include the severity of the injuries suffered, the cost of medical treatment and rehabilitation, the length of recovery time, and the impact of the injuries on the victim’s quality of life.
Other factors that may be taken into consideration include the amount of property damage, the cost of repairing or replacing the bicycle, and any lost income or wages as a result of the accident.
Ultimately, the best way to determine what a reasonable settlement amount might be for your specific case is to consult with an experienced Memphis personal injury lawyer who can review the details of your case and help you understand your legal options.
