Bicycle Accidents in Washington
Bicycle accidents are a growing safety concern across Washington, especially in busy areas like Seattle where heavy traffic and limited bike infrastructure increase the risk of serious collisions. Because cyclists have little protection, injuries are often severe and life-changing.
Victims of bicycle crashes frequently suffer:
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Multiple fractures and broken bones
- Internal organ damage or bleeding
- Severe road rash, bruising, or lacerations that may lead to infection
Head injuries are especially dangerous. The brain is a soft and delicate organ, so even a minor collision can cause lasting damage.
Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) may not show immediate symptoms but can later lead to memory loss, concentration issues, mood changes, and chronic headaches. Prompt medical evaluation is essential to diagnose hidden trauma, prevent complications, and improve recovery outcomes.
