New Mexico Bicycle Accidents
Many people choose to ride bikes in New Mexico, and most riders know just how dangerous it can be to share the road with large motor vehicles. According to statistics from the New Mexico Department of Transportation (NMDOT), an estimated 1.3 percent of bicycle crashes result in fatal injuries and 77.4 percent result in some form of injuries. Hundreds of riders are killed each year in cycling accidents in the United States, and thousands more suffer life-changing injuries. You need to be sure that you take all necessary actions to protect yourself if you or someone close to you is hurt as a result of a bicycle accident.
Cycling is a hobby that is embraced by many people across the country, and it is particularly popular here in New Mexico. There are many reasons that riding a bike is a common way to get around the state, but riding a bike can be incredibly dangerous for many reasons. Riders are not afforded the same protections provided to those traveling in motor vehicles, and this means that they are more likely to suffer from life-changing injuries in the event of a car accident. It is a fact that many drivers do not look out for those on bikes as they should, and this can cause catastrophic collisions in the process.
Injuries resulting from a bicycle crash can be quite severe. Some of the most serious injuries commonly resulting from a cycling accident include traumatic brain injuries.
