Bicycle Accidents in California
California sees a high number of bicycle-related crashes, particularly in urban areas like Canoga Park, where cyclists share the road with motor vehicles. Many bicycle accidents occur at intersections due to factors such as driver inattention, failure to yield, or unsafe lane changes.
Cyclists are especially vulnerable in traffic collisions, often sustaining serious injuries such as fractures, head trauma, and internal injuries. Even when wearing protective gear, bicyclists face significant risks when struck by a vehicle.
Under California law, injured bicyclists may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and other damages if another party’s negligence contributed to the crash. However, proving liability can be complex, making legal guidance essential for accident victims.
