Cyclists in British Columbia will always be vulnerable, and even more so at this time of the year when visibility may be a problem. Bicycle riders have hardly any protection against the weight of a negligent driver’s vehicle on impact.

Losing a loved one in a car accident is naturally a traumatic experience, but when a hit-and-run driver caused the fatality, the unanswered questions can be overwhelming. Surviving family members may only get answers once the driver deemed responsible is identified and brought to justice.

Crashes on British Columbia roads are not uncommon, and the causes are varied. However, whether a car accident was caused by another person’s negligence or distracted driving, the injured victims may suffer life-long consequences — both financial and emotional.

Cycling can be an exciting sport and a great way to get around town, but it is not without its risks. Cyclists are sometimes involved in car accidents caused by drivers who are behaving negligently or who are distracted behind the wheel.

There is little worse than being involved in a car accident, especially if there are injuries as a result. Normally, if a person who hits you is intoxicated at the time, it’s much easier to prove fault and seek the compensation you need.

Despite advances in technology, there is no cure for a spinal cord injury. Once damage is done, it is difficult for the body to recover due to the way the nerves need to heal. Unfortunately, the spinal cord does not recover in the same way as other parts of the body, making any complete injuries likely to be permanent.

When you suffer a slip-and-fall accident, the last thing you think will happen is that you’ll suffer a serious spinal injury. Unfortunately, even a short fall can result in fractures, disk dislocations and other issues as you attempt to catch yourself or impact your spinal column.
