According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, “ Bicycle trips account for 2% of people who die in a crash involving a motor vehicle on our national roads.” They also reported that over 1,000 people die every year in the United States due to bicycle accidents. These statistics should serve as a reminder always to remain protected in ways that you would expect and in ways that you wouldn’t. Preventable measures for bicycle injuries include a helmet, reflective clothing, and active lighting on your bike. However, securing your future with the best bicycle lawyer is an overlooked action.
