Bicycle Accidents in California
California sees a high number of bicycle-related accidents, especially in busy urban areas like Sacramento. Intersections such as 4th St and Capitol Mall can be particularly dangerous for cyclists due to high vehicle traffic, turning cars, and limited bike lane infrastructure.
Many bicycle accidents result from driver negligence, including failing to yield, distracted driving, and speeding. Even at lower speeds, collisions involving bicycles can cause severe injuries due to the lack of physical protection for cyclists.
For those injured in bicycle accidents, medical expenses, rehabilitation, and time away from work can create significant challenges. Seeking medical attention and understanding one’s legal rights are crucial steps after an accident.
