Causes Of Bike Accidents

When a bicyclist is sharing the road with trucks, buses, and cars, he or she is constantly at risk. You have to contend with bad road conditions and drivers who are distracted, speeding, ignoring traffic signs and lights, talking on a cell phone, texting, or eating while driving. You may not be granted right of way, and in some cases, you may not even be seen. The injuries that bicycle riders suffer when they tangle with pavement or a larger vehicle can range from minor to catastrophic. If you have been injured while riding on your way to work, to do errands, or just for fun, it is important to gain the assistance of a Los Angeles personal injury attorney who will take action on your behalf.

Bike Accident Lawyer In Los Angeles

With over 100 deaths of bicyclists in California each year, safety equipment, including a helmet, is a must, as two-thirds of these deaths are due to TBI (traumatic brain injury). Other injuries that cyclists suffer include cuts and lacerations, broken bones, multiple fractures, closed head trauma, spinal cord injuries, and wrongful death. Riding defensively, watching out for buses, cars in driveways, at cross streets, and making turns is your best protection against injury. Keep in mind that even if the driver seems to make eye contact with you, this may not mean the driver has actually registered your presence. Most drivers, after an accident, state that they did not “see” the rider approaching.
