Bicycle Accidents in Washington
Bicycle accidents are a growing concern across Washington, especially in busy urban areas like Seattle. Cyclists often share narrow streets with fast-moving vehicles, and even a small mistake can lead to life-changing injuries.
Common causes of bicycle crashes include:
- Drivers failing to yield at intersections
- Distracted driving or poor visibility at night
- Sudden turns or unsafe lane changes near cyclists
- Road hazards or worn-down markings
Cyclists often suffer broken bones, internal injuries, head trauma, and road rash during a crash. The brain is a soft and delicate organ, and even a low-speed crash can lead to symptoms like dizziness, confusion, memory loss, or mood changes. Early medical care helps doctors catch hidden injuries before they worsen.
Working with a personal injury lawyer who understands bicycle accidents in Seattle can make a major difference.
