Bicycle Safety
When it comes to U.S. streets and roadways, bicycles are subject to the same responsibilities and rights as any other type of vehicle. Bicycle riders should always exercise caution when riding and observe all applicable traffic laws to avoid accidents and serious injury.
Observing proper bicycle safety is an important step toward keeping the road safe for bicycles and motorized vehicles alike. If you have been injured in a traffic accident involving a bicycle, you may be entitled to compensation for injuries suffered and property damage sustained.
