Common Injuries in Bike Accidents

Bicycling is a popular activity in Illinois, but unfortunately, it also comes with risks. Bicycle accidents can result in serious injuries, and even fatalities. Here are some of the most common injuries sustained in Illinois bicycle accidents:

Head injuries are one of the most common injuries sustained in bicycle accidents. A rider’s head can hit the ground or a car, causing traumatic brain injuries or concussion. Wearing a helmet can significantly reduce the severity of head injuries.

Fractures are also common in bicycle accidents. A rider can suffer broken bones in their arms, legs, or hips as a result of the impact with a car, the surface of the road, or other stationary objects.

Soft tissue injuries are another common type of injury in bicycle accidents. Soft tissue injuries include injuries to the muscles, tendons, and ligaments. These injuries can be extremely painful and can range from minor sprains to more serious tears that may require surgery.

Spinal cord injuries can occur in serious bicycle accidents. These types of injuries can result in permanent paralysis and a lifetime of medical care.

Road rash is another type of injury that can occur in bicycle accidents. Road rash is caused by the rider’s skin coming into contact with the pavement and can range from minor scrapes to more severe abrasions that require medical attention.

Bicycle accidents in and around Chicago can result in serious injuries. Riders should always wear helmets and other protective gear to minimize their risk of injury. If you have been hurt in a bicycle accident, get prompt medical care and contact an attorney with the Law Firm of Kass & Moses today.
