When a distracted driver who was not paying attention runs into you on the road or hits someone you love who is walking across a street, serious personal injuries are suffered in the crash. Injuries may be the result of the impact of hitting the car or being thrown onto the pavement. Injuries from pedestrian collisions are very often catastrophic.

Others simply don’t know safe practices on the road regarding bicyclists.
