Everyone knows, given San Diego weather, bicyles are hugely popular in the area. But, with popularity comes the danger of a serious bicycle accident.
When you are riding a bicylce there are perils around every corner. Not only must you be concerned about pedestrians, automobiles and the terrain itself but also other folks on bicylces. The negligence of people on the street, driver’s of care or even owners of property can be liable to for negligence that causes you injury.
Bicycle accidents, unfortunetly, are bound to happen and when the do, they can cause serious injuries. Injuries from bicycle accident can include broken bones, a concussion, injury to your spinal cord, road burns and even TBI (traumatic brain injury).
Traumatic brain injury occurs when there is a jolting of the brain that results in its abnormal functioning. More that 1.4 million people will suffer from Traumatic Brain Injury and of those people 50,000 will die and 250,000 will be hospitalized. It is important that no matter what kind of bike accident you are in, you seek immediate attention because traumatic brain injury can occur not only from direct impact but also from mere acceleration.
