Electric Bike Accidents in New Jersey

People outside of cars are involved in a lot of crashes in the Garden State. In 2021, 22 people died while riding bikes, and 204 people died while walking on the state’s roads. This is the most since nearly 1989. Sadly, a lot of people who die on the roads every year are cyclists. People riding bikes are much more likely to be killed or badly hurt in an accident because they don’t have as much protection. Too many reckless drivers fail to look out for those who are on bikes, and this can end in a catastrophic crash. If a bicycle accident hurts someone you care about, you should be ready to file a claim for compensation with the help of a skilled legal team.
