Bicycle accidents occur throughout the United States, but with the benefits of naturally beauty throughout our state, as well as some large urban and suburban areas, Washington is a great place to ride a bike which makes it an even more likely place to have a bicycle accident. During the summertime, more of us are out there on our bicycles than any other time of the year, so I have recently written an article with my top 5 pieces of advice to avoid bicycle accidents. As a Seattle personal injury lawyer and Washington car accident attorney, I have worked on plenty of cases involving bicycle accident injuries and have learned a lot about how to prevent them along the way.

In my top five list, you’ll see a mix of common sense solutions to common bicycle accidents, as well as some information on bike law that you may not have already known. In general, I wanted to shed some light on the risks involved with riding a bicycle in the city. 69% of all bicycle fatalities were in an urban setting in 2008, and 64% were at intersections. I believe that bike safety is much overlooked, and hopefully this article will give you some useful information for the next time you decide to take your bike out for a ride.
