South Dakota Bicycle Safety Essentials

Certain safety measures can help prevent accidents for bicycle riders. If you ride long distances or a bike is your primary mode of transportation, you should definitely take precautions to help prevent accidents with motor vehicles, which pose a serious threat. Such safety precautions include:

Equip your bike with lights, horns, and mirrors.
Wear a helmet, bright clothes, and, if riding at night, a safety vest.

When riding a bike on busy roadways, be defensive and aware of what is around you at all times. Also, give yourself plenty of room to correct if a car does not see you.

On bike paths and trails, it is important to be aware of debris and cars that are parked, turning, or simply unaware that there is a bike path on the roadway .

South Dakota bicycle accidents happen quite frequently. When a car hits a bicycle, the results can be devastating. If you or a family member has been injured in a bicycle accident caused by a negligent driver, you can recover damages by filing a personal injury claim against the individual.

You and your family may be able to earn financial compensation for your medical bills, ongoing care or physical therapy, lost wages from missed time at work, and even very real instances of pain and emotional suffering.

If you think that you may be eligible to recover damages from a bicycle accident, you should contact a lawyer first. An experienced attorney can fight against the insurance companies to earn you the compensation that you deserve.
