Bicycle Accidents
Bicycle accidents often result in significant injuries to the bike rider. This is because the bicyclist who is involved in a crash with a car or truck does not have several advantages that someone in a vehicle has, such as thousands of pounds of steel for protection, airbags or a seatbelt. As a result, bicycle riders are often seriously injured after a collision. These personal injuries often result in broken bones, shoulder dislocations, brain and spine injuries, and death.
Causes of Bicycle accidents
A few major causes of accidents with bicycle riders include the car or truck driver’s failure to check their blind spot or specifically looking for a bicyclist when merging, not yielding to a bicyclist’s right of way and cutting off a bicyclist while turning. For their part, a bike rider must obey all traffic laws that vehicles must obey, but even when this is done, negligent and careless drivers still cause significant levels of accidents with bicycle riders. In fact, there are often more bicycle accidents than motorcycle accidents every year in certain cities throughout California.
