Bicycle Accidents in Baton Rouge

Louisiana is continually ranked as one of the most dangerous states for bicycle safety. The state comes in at second place for the most fatal cycling crashes in the country. New Orleans is particularly dangerous, being designated as the sixth most dangerous city for cyclists. 

When a cyclist is struck by a motor vehicle, they are at an inherent disadvantage. The size and force of a large vehicle will easily overwhelm someone riding a bike. These crashes can result in significant damages that will make the recovery process difficult.
