Bicycle Accidents in California
California sees a high number of bicycle-related accidents each year, particularly in urban areas like Los Angeles, where cyclists share the roads with heavy traffic. Bicycle crashes often result in serious injuries due to the vulnerability of riders compared to motor vehicles.
Common causes of bicycle accidents include driver inattention, failure to yield, unsafe lane changes, and speeding. Cyclists are at higher risk of head injuries, fractures, and other severe trauma when involved in collisions.
Victims of bicycle accidents may face extensive medical treatment, rehabilitation, and financial burdens. Seeking legal assistance can help injured cyclists understand their rights and explore options for compensation to cover medical expenses, lost wages, and other damages.
