Bicycling is a popular mode of transportation and recreation in Milwaukee and other parts of Wisconsin. However, sharing the road with vehicles can put bicyclists at risk of harm in bicycle accidents, especially when drivers act negligently or fail to share the road safely. When a bicyclist is struck by a vehicle, the injuries can be severe and life-altering. An experienced Wisconsin personal injury attorney can help injured bicyclists address their legal issues and pursue compensation for their injuries.

Common Injuries in Bicycle Accidents

Bike accidents can result in a wide range of injuries, and an injured bicyclist may require extensive medical treatment and rehabilitation. Here are some of the most common injuries that bicyclists may experience:

• Head injuries: Even with a helmet, a bicyclist can suffer a concussion due to the impact with a vehicle or the ground. They may even experience more serious traumatic brain injuries (TBIs), which can lead to long-term cognitive impairments, emotional issues, and physical effects.
