Every six hours a bicyclist is fatally injured in America. Head injuries account for seventy-five percent of all serious injuries and deaths from bicycle accidents. Negligent drivers are a major factor in bicycle accidents. If a driver makes a turn, pulls out of a driveway or alley, or opens a car door without being observant, they are putting bicyclists in danger. Injuries sustained to bicyclists may be fatal because of the lack of protection a bicycle provides. There is no competition between a bicycle and a vehicle that weighs thousands of pounds. Drivers must be held accountable for the injuries they cause.
Over the years, Daniel Feldman, an avid cyclist for the last 20 years, has handled several bicycle accident cases, most recently one involving very serious injuries resulting in a confidential settlement right before trial of $2.85 million dollars.
