Bicycle Accident

Injuries on bicycles are all too common.  Some motorists do not share the road.  Some are plain dangerous.  Many drivers do not realize that they must yield to bicycles the same way they do to other motor vehicles.

Many bicycle accidents are because drivers don’t see bicyclists.  Many bicycle accidents are because drivers don’t give bicyclists necessary room.

A car driver’s failure to keep a proper lookout causing a bicycle accident is negligence on the part of the driver.  Unfortunately because a bicyclist does not have the bubble of protection a car’s passenger compartment provides, bicyclists are seriously injured or sometimes killed due to reckless drivers.

Common causes of bicycle accidents include:

• Motorist not properly sharing the road
• Drivers that do not obey traffic signals
• Drivers that fail to yield the right of way
• The failure of drivers to treat bicycles as they would other vehicles
• Motorists that text while driving
• Excessive speed of drivers passing bicycles
