Bicycle Accidents And Injuries In Albuquerque

Bicycle accidents are incredibly common, especially in New Mexico, where fatalities in these accidents are the second-highest in the nation. Every year, thousands of cyclists are treated at local hospitals, some with severe injuries, such as traumatic brain injuries (TBIs). Many of them pass away in these accidents, and cyclists and pedestrians are more likely to suffer fatal injuries because of their lack of protection when compared to those in the cars around them.

Because this is such a major threat, it’s important to know where to turn if you suffer injuries. Just call us here at Garrett Law.

Areas Of Potential Compensation

Bicycle accidents can lead to minor issues like cuts and scrapes, but they often lead to broken bones, skull fractures, spinal cord injuries, neck injuries and, as noted above, traumatic brain injuries.

Depending on the severity of your injuries, this means that you may need to seek extensive compensation for medical bills or future medical costs, especially if you have a permanent disability. You may also be able to seek compensation for lost wages or a reduction in your earning capacity. Finally, it’s worth considering things like pain and suffering, loss of consortium, or simply the loss of enjoyment of life due to the injuries that you suffered.
