Warm Weather Brings Bicyclists, More Accidents Warns Greg Coleman Law

(LegalLaw247.com, March 02, 2013 ) KNOXVILLE, TN – As the winter season fades away, spring brings warmer weather and a number of activities that the cold temperatures kept away. Bicycling has become a popular form of recreation for Tennessee residents. In addition, many people are turning to bikes as an alternative form of transportation outside of passenger vehicles. However, the designs of most roads leave bicyclists vulnerable to car and commercial vehicles. It is not uncommon for bicyclists to be involved in vehicle crashes.

For commuters that ride their bikes to work, the average accident rate is equivalent to one accident every 8 years. When a car or commercial vehicle hits a bike rider, it often results in critical and life-threatening injuries for the bicyclists. When drivers and bicyclists are sharing the road they can avoid car vs. bicycle accidents by remaining alert. Tennessee motorists need to recognize that bike riders, also referred to as pedal cyclists, have the same rights and responsibilities as drivers do.

Bicycle crashes can be complex cases to handle. At times, it can be difficult to determine who the liable party was. Oftentimes, these case come down to who had the right-of-way. At Greg Coleman Law, we urge all bicycle accident victims to seek legal guidance. A skilled attorney can review the circumstances of the accident and recommend the best legal remedy to pursue.
