Bicycle Accidents in Pennsylvania 

Bicyclists are at risk for serious injury and damages in the event of an accident. This is due to the fact that bicyclists have no protection from harm in the event of an accident involving any type of large vehicle. In Pennsylvania, only about 1.1% of accidents involve bicycles. This may seem like a small percentage, but thousands of bicycle-related accidents occur every year.
