Death of Pennsylvania Cyclist Reinforces Need for Safer Streets

Bicycle Accident

A recent incident in Philadelphia left a 34-year-old bicycle courier dead after he was hit by an SUV in one of the city’s busier sections. After friends and neighbors held a memorial ride in honor of the fallen cyclist, many in the city are wondering what needs to be done to reduce the number of cyclists injured or killed on their streets.

Sadly, close to 45,000 cyclists are injured every year—with 5,400 of those injured being children. Many of these unfortunate accidents are fatal—with 800 lives lost each year. With this in mind, Philadelphia has become one of many cities that has joined the Vision Zero campaign—a three-year plan which aims to eliminate all pedestrian, bicyclist, and traffic fatalities in major cities.

At 70yrs. of age, I have never been in a car accident, nor have I ever had a moving violation! So, needless to say, that the trauma of being involved in an accident that I did not cause, where my car, (which was only 6mos. old) was totaled!) and I received 2 broken bones in my left ankle that warrented surgery…was nothing short of devastating! It’s been 9mos. and I’m still healing! But while I was in the ER, the only injury attorney’s name and number that came to my mind was Freeburn and the 7’s! Well, in came Ryan McDaniels, and ever since that initial encounter at my home, I was thoroughly convinced that the Lord had orchestrated it! This young man’s demeanor, personality, and integrity was awesome! He kept me well informed and I trusted him emphatically! Not only him, but everyone in their office, showed me the utmost respect and courtesies! I would, without any reservations, refer anyone who asked me, to this firm! They made for me a wonderful experience from the most devastatingly, traumatic situation I’ve ever had! Definitely 2 thumbs up!
