Bicycle Accidents

The popularity of bicycling has increased dramatically over the past three decades, and so too has the amount of bicycle accidents increased. Bicycles are used by more and more Californians as their main mode of transportation. Congested roadways, the high cost of commuting and parking restrictions all make bicycling a convenient and inexpensive alternative.Many cities have constructed special bike lanes and many parks have now made trails accessible to bicycles. Even some vehicle manufacturers are now offering bike racks as standard equipment. However, many automobile drivers do not respect cyclists’ rights to share the roads and, more importantly, bike riders don’t always share the roads with automobiles, resulting in a rise in serious, and sometimes fatal, injuries to bicyclists.

Automobiles vs. Bicycle Accidents

In the United States, a bicyclist is fatally injured every six hours and nearly one million children are injured every year in bicycle-related accidents. While collisions with automobiles only account for one-third of accidents, they account for the majority of the catastrophic injuries, 75 percent of which are head injuries.

Car, truck, and bus operators and bicyclists must obey the same traffic laws and there are many “new” traffic laws concerning bicycles. Ignorance of the laws does not alleviate a driver’s fault in an accident if he or she injures a person who is riding a bike.
