Bicycle Accidents in California

Bicycle accidents are tragically common and can have devastating effects on individuals and families. Every year, these accidents are responsible for thousands of deaths in the United States and injure over 100,000 people. Bicyclists, due to their exposed nature on the road, are especially susceptible to sustaining serious, life-changing injuries when involved in collisions.

There are numerous contributing factors to bicycle accidents, including but not limited to poorly maintained bicycle lanes, obstructions on the road, ambiguous bicycle lane markings, potholes, improperly maintained sidewalks or bike paths, and unexpected encounters with animals. These incidents often occur at bustling intersections, where the risk of a motorist making a negligent turn in front of a bicyclist or failing to give the right of way is heightened.

Collisions between bicycles and motor vehicles are alarmingly common and can be attributed to various actions by drivers, such as failing to yield, driving while distracted, exceeding speed limits, making turns without signaling, ignoring traffic control devices, or carelessly opening car doors on the path of an oncoming cyclist.
