As an “approved” attorney on the Active Transportation Alliance’s (“ATA”) referral list, I get phone calls all the time from people who were involved in “minor” bicycle vs. car accidents asking me what they should do. The most common questions are whether they should contact the police or get checked out by a doctor, even when they weren’t hurt that badly or if there wasn’t a lot of damage to their bike. The answers are always “yes” and “yes”.

The Amtrak train crash in Nevada on June 24, 2011 generated a lot of national attention. This was the crash where six people were killed and many more seriously injured when a semi tractor-trailer going over 70 mph slammed into an Amtrak train going close to 80 mph in an open stretch of desert just east of Reno obliterating several cars of the train and causing them to burst into flames.
