Hit-and-Run Bicycle Accident Statistics

Bicycling is a viable alternative to driving, particularly when visiting nearby areas. Unfortunately, bicyclists are more vulnerable to road hazards than drivers of private vehicles. Bicycle-related fatalities are unfortunately common in the United States. Bicycle accidents claim the lives of approximately 742 people each year.

The year 2018 saw 857 cyclists killed, making it the deadliest year on record for bicyclists. Bicycle accident cases are already complicated to deal with on their own. But, when a hit-and-run driver is involved, it gets even more complicated.

Leaving the scene after an accident is a crime in itself. However, that does not stop other irresponsible motorists from driving away. Every year, approximately 682,000 hit-and-run crashes are recorded all over the country since 2006, with an average of 2,000 reported deaths annually.
