Common Causes of Bicycle Accidents
While cyclists have the same rights as other road users, they are often more vulnerable to accidents. Some of the leading causes include:
- Negligent Drivers: Reckless or distracted drivers pose a significant threat to cyclists. From texting while driving to failing to yield the right of way, driver negligence is prevalent in bicycle accidents.
- Poor Road Conditions: Uneven surfaces, potholes, and inadequate road maintenance can lead to accidents. In these cases, determining responsibility may involve government entities responsible for road upkeep.
- Dooring Accidents: Opening a car door without checking for oncoming cyclists can result in serious collisions. Cyclists may suffer severe injuries due to the sudden and unexpected nature of dooring accidents.
- Intersection Collisions: Intersections are high-risk areas for bicycle accidents. Failure to obey traffic signals, speeding, and disregarding stop signs can lead to collisions with cyclists.
- Lack of Visibility: Poor lighting, inadequate reflectors, and obscured bike lanes contribute to accidents caused by reduced visibility. Drivers may fail to notice cyclists, especially during low-light conditions.
Understanding the root causes of bicycle accidents allows us to build a compelling case for our clients, holding the responsible parties accountable for their actions.
