What Are The Common Causes Of Bicycle Accidents?

The vast majority of bicycle accidents involve nothing more than simple human error. Negligence on the part of motor vehicle drivers can involve:

  • Distracted driving
  • Speeding
  • Failing to yield
  • Dooring
  • Impaired driving
  • Unsafe lane changes
  • Failure to obey traffic signals

Whether drivers simply fail to check their blind spots before making a left-hand turn or are not willing to share the road, the end result is the same: a cyclist gets hurt.

What Kinds Of Injuries Can Result From Bicycle Accidents?

A bicycle accident can be uniquely devastating. Even when a cyclist is wearing a helmet, the impact of the grill of a car and the pavement can lead to catastrophic injuries, including:

Even relatively minor injuries can lead to massive medical bills and significant recovery times, which means that the bills can start to pile up quickly. In some cases, victims may never fully recover from catastrophic injuries or suffer fatal injuries.
