Frequently Asked Questions
What should a cyclist do after a crash with a car?
Call 911 if anyone is hurt, stay at the scene until help arrives, and get checked by paramedics even if injuries seem minor. Try to get the other driver's information and note any details about how the crash happened, since some injuries, like concussions or internal bruising, aren't obvious right away.
Do cyclists have the same road rights as drivers?
Yes. In California, bicyclists generally have the same rights and responsibilities as drivers of vehicles, including the right of way at intersections when it's their turn.
Are bicycle accidents more common at intersections?
Intersections are a frequent location for car-bicycle crashes because they involve turning vehicles, crossing paths, and limited visibility, all of which increase the chance a driver and cyclist won't see each other in time.
What injuries are most common for cyclists?
Cyclists hit by vehicles often suffer road rash, fractures, head injuries, and joint damage, since they have little protection compared to someone inside a car.
What to Do After a Bicycle Crash in La Puente, CA
If you're involved in a bicycle crash, start by checking yourself and others for injuries and moving to safety if possible. Even if you feel fine, it's important to see a doctor soon afterward, since adrenaline can mask pain from fractures or head trauma. Remember to take photos of the scene, your bike, and any visible injuries, and get contact and insurance information from the driver involved. Filing a police report helps create an official record, which can matter later for insurance or medical follow-up. Give yourself time to recover and don't rush back to riding until a doctor has cleared you.
