BICYCLE ACCIDENT ASSISTANCE LAWSUIT CASH ADVANCE
Bicycle
accidents are increasing in frequency at what seems to be an alarming rate.
While auto accidents have increased on average by only 1.2% per year since
1995, bicycle accidents have increased on average by 5.6% and they have not
decrease in any one year. It seems that as our roads get more crowded with cars
and more Americans ride bicycles the combination creates a situation where more
accidents happen. Some communities have made efforts to widen roads or improve
sidewalks and shoulders, however, there is far more to do until we can deem our
roads safe for bicycle riders.
Fortunately there are companies like Global Financial that understand the
personal injury legal process and can advance funds against a potential future
settlement to help these injured victims in need. Many of these injured bicycle
riders have valid personal injury claims against the car or truck that caused
the accident. Global Financial can provide cash advances to the injured while
they try to recover from their injuries and await their personal injury lawsuit
settlement.
Many bicycle accidents happen at intersections when a car or truck is not paying
attention or the bicyclist believes he/she can ignore a red light or stop sign.
Although the speed of the vehicles when the accidents occur at an intersection
is usually lower, the injuries sustained are often just as severe. Bicycle
injuries can be as severe as death which may result in a wrongful death claim
or even paralysis that would result in a personal injury claim.
It is a common perception among motorists that bicycle riders are taking their
lives into their hands when riding on public roads and this ignorance itself
can cause accidents. It has actually been proven that bicycle riders are
consistently using more caution than their pedestrian counterparts or truck and
car drivers. There is a perception that roads were built for cars and not
bicycles but most every state and city in the country permit bicyclists on
their streets at all times of the day. Recent statistics support our ideas. In
the year 2003 there were 192,532 pedestrian accidents in New York City and only
18,540 bicycle accidents. New York City is obviously one of the most dangerous
places to rid a bicycle and still the injuries were at a minimal compared to
pedestrians who have a much better control of where they are going.
Bicycle accidents are so dangerous because the person is not protected by
anything and they are colliding with a heavy car or truck that may be traveling
at great speed. Injuries can be extensive when a 200 lb biker is hit by a 2,000
lb car. The most common injuries sustained by bicyclist that are in accidents
are; whiplash, concussion, closed head injury, broken arms, broken legs and
shoulder injuries. Many of these injuries take a long time to heal and many of
the victims cannot work during the healing process. The bills continue to pile
up even when an injured person has no income.
If you have been in a bicycle accident and have sustained injuries as the
result of someone else's negligence then you will qualify for financial
assistance from our company.
