A wet-behind-the-ears bicyclist is a diamond in the rough—capable of incredible feats of endurance and extraordinary finesse, but relatively naïve when it comes to riding in the presence of other vehicles. Full competence on the road requires experience, but this can be difficult to acquire when other vehicles are large and don’t follow the three-foot rule. Contrary to what jewelers tell us about diamonds being forever, bicyclists are not invincible; and they have rights that reflect that fact.
Even if you are a diamond, you probably don’t want to end up in the sky with them. Outside of the marriage proposal-fraught world of engagement ring ads, bicycle accidents are a grim reality for even gems of riders. This is why Utah bicycle accident lawyers Christensen & Hymas advocate for bicyclists. If you or someone you know has fallen victim to law breakers on the road and don’t know where to turn for help, Christensen & Hymas offers free consultations at 801-506-0800. Alternately, if you would like preventative tips, you can call 1-800-LAW-BOOK to request a booklet, free of charge.
All bicyclists can use a little polishing up. A skilled bicycle accident lawyer can ensure that you are polished without being broken.
