Cycling is a popular pastime in Oklahoma, but you are vulnerable to the dangers of the road when traveling near a motor vehicle. Bicycle crashes on American roads kill almost 1,000 people and hurt over 130,000 more every year. Despite making up less than one percent of trips, more than two percent of roadway deaths involve cyclists. Statistics show that 1,105 cyclists were killed in car crashes in the United States in 2022 alone, making up nearly 2.6 percent of deadly collisions that year. Cyclists are more likely to be hurt in a crash. You can pursue compensation by filing a personal injury claim with the help of a skilled legal team.
