Common Injuries Bicyclists Suffer in Crashes in Pennsylvania
Bicycle crashes in Pennsylvania often lead to head trauma, one of the most common injuries bicyclists suffer in crashes. Riders may strike the pavement, a curb, or a vehicle during impact. Even when wearing helmets, cyclists can suffer concussions or other brain injuries.
Facial injuries are also common after a collision. A rider may experience a broken nose, jaw damage, or the loss of teeth. These injuries can affect eating, speaking, and overall daily function.
Back injuries frequently occur when a cyclist lands forcefully on the roadway. Herniated discs or spinal fractures can result from a hard crash and sudden impact. Nerve damage may limit mobility for an extended period.
Many riders fracture a collarbone or wrist while trying to brace for impact. Shoulder breaks and arm injuries can reduce strength and restrict movement in daily activities. Recovery often involves surgery or physical therapy.
Lower body trauma commonly affects the legs and knees. A crash may cause fractures, torn ligaments, or ankle instability requiring ongoing treatment and rehabilitation. Sliding along pavement can also result in painful road rash and lasting scars.
Serious bicycle injuries can disrupt everyday life. Medical bills, therapy appointments, and follow-up visits create financial pressure. Missed time at work can further complicate recovery and future financial stability.
