Bicycle Accidents in Alabama
Bicyclists are particularly vulnerable in traffic-related accidents, as collisions with motor vehicles often lead to severe injuries. Roadways like Airport Road in Huntsville can be especially dangerous for cyclists due to traffic congestion, limited bike lanes, and driver inattention.
Common causes of bicycle accidents include failure to yield, distracted driving, and improper lane changes. Even when cyclists follow traffic laws, they remain at risk from negligent drivers who may not see them in time to avoid a collision.
In Alabama, injured cyclists may have legal options to seek compensation for medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, and lost wages. Investigations help determine fault and whether additional safety measures are needed to prevent similar accidents.
