SPRINGFIELD, MO, (March 25, 2026) – A bicyclist was seriously injured Wednesday morning in a crash involving a vehicle in Springfield, police said.
Authorities reported the collision occurred just before 9 a.m. on North Kansas Expressway near Kearney Street when a vehicle struck the cyclist.
The victim sustained severe injuries and was transported to a local hospital for treatment.
Roadways can present significant risks for bicyclists. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reported that 46,195 cyclists were injured in motor vehicle crashes in 2022.
“Bicyclists are particularly vulnerable, and a number of factors can lead to serious collisions,” said Candice Bond, Managing Partner with Bond Legal.
“It is critical to determine the exact cause of these incidents. Attorneys have the resources to review insurance coverage, retain expert witnesses, conduct background checks, and identify witnesses. We help guide victims and families through the legal process,” Bond explained.
Prompt independent investigations are important to preserve evidence in such cases, Bond added.
“In addition to reviewing official reports, an attorney will examine all contributing factors. Legal counsel can retain experts, conduct background checks, locate witnesses, and review insurance coverage while assisting victims through what can often be a complex process,” said Bond.
The injured bicyclist may have the right to pursue a personal injury claim, pending the outcome of the investigation.
Stefano Formica, Of Counsel with Bond Legal, said, “Victims injured in collisions often seek compensation for medical expenses, future treatment, lost income, emotional trauma, and pain and suffering.”
“Insurance companies may attempt to minimize payouts despite the significant costs victims face. An attorney can advocate on their behalf to ensure fair compensation and protection of their rights,” he added.
