What do I need to know if I have been injured as a runner or a bicyclist?

A: Being struck by a car, truck or other vehicle while running or bicycling all too often results in serious injury and death. With physical fitness becoming more popular, in the United States as well as Missouri and Kansas and here in Kansas City, Missouri, running and bicycle accident injuries are becoming more common as well. This is compounded by the cell phone and texting epidemic, which makes drivers less safe. Runners and bicyclists are struck by cars or other vehicles for a variety of reasons, but most always there was some form of driver distraction. Drivers who are not paying attention to the road are a very real danger to runners and bicyclists who are particularly vulnerable to serious injury or death because of the relative lack of safety and protective equipment. The most common injuries to runners and bicyclists when stuck by vehicles are: spinal cord injuries fractures traumatic brain injuries Hit and run accidents are all too common in running and bicycle accidents. This can result from runners running on the side of the street not being able to move out of the way soon enough to avoid being struck and bicyclists being struck from behind while riding with traffic as required. Drunk drivers cause strike runners and bicyclists and if intoxicated at the time of the accident often hit and run, leaving the injured runner or bicyclist lying in the road. Worse yet, runners and bicyclists in such a situation are susceptible to greater injury due to being struck again. If you or a loved one has been struck and injured by a vehicle as a runner or bicyclist, there are often important liability issues that should be investigated immediately so that your rights are protected. Contact an experienced personal injury attorney. The best accident injury attorneys will provide consultation for free and with no obligation so you have nothing to lose and everything to gain by protecting yourself and your rights.
