Being a lifelong participant in any outdoor sport or activity would seem to prepare a person for the various and specific dangers involved. While this may be the case in general, when it comes to bicycle riding, safety must be paramount in a rider’s mind when negotiating public roadways with other automobile and commercial truck traffic.
As Maryland injury attorneys, I and my colleagues understand how even the simplest error in judgment can mean the difference between life and death on a city street or a country road. Such was apparently the sad case in a bicycle-auto crash not long ago that claimed the life of a father and husband.
According to news reports, the victim of the accident was a 43-year-old bicycling devotee from Owings Mills, MD. Lawrence Bensky was apparently an intrepid cyclist who would think nothing of riding his bike from Bel Air to Ocean City. Regardless of the difficulties, family and friends reportedly said nothing could slow this rider down.
