Bike Accidents

Bicycles have been considered a healthful and environment-friendly way of transportation all over the United States and the State of California. Most drivers today choose the alternative way of traveling thru short distances. While it's also considered fun to bike, biking virtually offers very little protection. Collisions and crashes are one of the main reasons for personal injury with bicyclists.

Bike accidents happen for a lot of factors. Most of the time it's due to another person's negligence or roadway hazards. Bicyclists can be injured from an automobile driver who turns directly in front of a bicycle driver, or neglecting to see a bicyclist peddling alongside. It can also be caused by driving under intoxication or drug abuse, not following traffic rules such as stop lights and signs and failure to yield at intersections. The results can vary from bent wheels and metal parts to ran-over wrecks which can prove to be potentially very fatal.

Today, many cities have built biking lanes especially made for bikers so that they are separate from the traffic. Bicycle manufacturers also started to design sturdier bikes and have added more safety features such as stronger brakes and bike racks.

Despite these measures many negligent automobile drivers still cause a lot of bike accidents every year, and most of the victims involve children under the age of sixteen. Serious head injuries are usually reported from car collisions and about almost one third of all car collisions with bicycles will lead to catastrophic injury or death.
