Bicycle Accidents in California
California sees a high number of bicycle accidents each year, particularly in busy urban areas like Los Angeles, where cyclists share the road with heavy traffic. While biking is an environmentally friendly and efficient mode of transportation, it also comes with risks, especially when drivers fail to yield, check blind spots, or respect designated bike lanes.
Some of the most common causes of bicycle accidents include:
- Drivers failing to yield to cyclists at intersections
- Dooring incidents, where a parked driver opens their door into a cyclist’s path
- Distracted or impaired driving
- Poor road conditions, including potholes and debris
- Cyclists riding at night without proper visibility gear
Bicycle accidents often result in serious injuries, including fractures, head trauma, and soft tissue damage. Even when wearing protective gear, cyclists remain highly vulnerable due to the lack of structural protection compared to motor vehicles. Seeking medical attention immediately after an accident is essential, as some injuries may not be immediately apparent.
If you or a loved one has been injured in a bicycle accident, you may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and other damages. Understanding your legal rights can be critical in securing the support you need to recover.
