Bicycle Accidents in California
California is one of the most active states for cyclists, but with that comes a higher risk of bicycle-related crashes. Heavily traveled roadways like Wilshire Blvd and S Vermont Ave in Los Angeles see frequent interactions between cyclists and vehicles, increasing the chance of serious accidents.
Many bicycle accidents occur due to driver negligence, including failure to yield, distracted driving, or speeding. Even when cyclists follow traffic laws, they remain vulnerable to injury due to the lack of physical protection compared to motor vehicles. Common injuries in bike-related crashes include fractures, head trauma, and internal injuries, often requiring extensive medical treatment and recovery time.
Victims of bicycle accidents may be entitled to compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and other damages. Seeking medical attention and consulting with a legal professional can help injured individuals understand their rights and options.
