In 2015 every single day of the year two people were killed in bicycle/motor vehicle crashes in the United States. This is a 12.2 percent increase from the year before. An estimated 45,000 people were hurt while riding a bicycle in 2015. However, this number is probably far lower than the reality as research into hospital records shows that only a fraction of bicycle crashes causing injury are ever recorded by the police, possibly as low as ten percent of the actual total.

Fully Exposed

Bicyclists are always going to lose in a collision with a car or truck. They are fully exposed to all of the negative consequences of a wreck with none of the safety features available to the driver of the vehicle. Drivers on the road with bicycle riders often fail to follow the rules of the road for sharing the roads with two wheeled riders and if they aren’t just generally careless, some seem to be actively aggressive. The consequences of this carelessness for the bicyclist are often extreme and permanent life altering, if not death. In these situations, many victims could benefit from having Personal Injury Protection (PIP), a low cost form of insurance that pays up 80% of your lost wages and 100% of you medical costs. This form of insurance could be crucial while you seek legal action after one of these serious wrecks.
