Injury Accidents in Delaware

Bicycle accidents in Delaware are not as common as other types of crashes, especially those involving cars and passenger vehicles. This does not mean that they are any less dangerous. According to statistics, about 85% of bicyclists who are involved in a crash will also sustain some type of injury. In many cases, the rider’s injuries are very serious and they must be taken to a hospital to receive extensive medical care. Unfortunately, bicycle crashes do occur frequently in Oregon and bicycles offer little protection from the force and impact of a serious accident.
