Bicycle Accidents in Massachusetts

Every year, bicyclists across Massachusetts face real risks when they ride alongside larger vehicles on busy roadways. In 2023 alone, thousands of cyclists were injured in accidents statewide, many occurring in urban neighborhoods like Roxbury where bike lanes can be limited or congested. With more people choosing bicycles for commuting, the chance of collisions has grown significantly in recent years. Local and state officials continue to promote safety programs and improved bike lane infrastructure to protect riders. Knowing what to watch out for can help everyone stay safer on Massachusetts roads. Here are some common injuries that bicyclists can experience after an accident:

• Head Injuries: Cyclists can suffer concussions or traumatic brain injuries, even when wearing helmets. Symptoms may appear immediately or develop over time, making it vital to seek medical attention after any blow to the head.

• Fractures and Broken Bones: Arms, legs, wrists, and collarbones are particularly vulnerable during a fall or collision. Treatment can require surgery, physical therapy, and extended recovery periods.

• Soft Tissue Injuries: Bruises, sprains, and muscle tears are common in bicycle crashes. These injuries might not seem severe at first but can cause chronic pain if untreated.

• Spinal Cord Injuries: Though less common, severe accidents can lead to damage to the back or neck, sometimes resulting in long-term complications or paralysis.

• Facial Injuries: Broken teeth, facial fractures, and eye injuries can occur if a rider is thrown forward or lands on their face. Protective gear and quick medical care can help minimize these effects.
