Bicycle Accidents
It is almost impossible to escape injuries in bicycle or motorcycle accidents. Riders are therefore encouraged to wear safety helmets all the time. Helmets save lives by reducing the severity of head injuries in the event of a collision. Should you be involved in a bicycle accident, you are encouraged to report to notify the authorities who will then issue you with a written report of the incident. You are also encouraged to take photos of any injuries you suffer and damages to your bicycle. It is also a good idea to keep copies of any medical records and any related expenses.
