Bicycle riders run the risk of catastrophic injury due to the lack of safety features. When a bicyclist is hit by a motor vehicle, most often that vehicle is making contact directly with the rider. This violent collision can result in severe injuries or even death. An experienced Nashville bicycle accident attorney can listen to the facts of your situation and provide expert advice on how best to proceed.
