Bicycle Accidents in California
Bicycle accidents are a significant concern in urban areas like Los Angeles, where heavy traffic and high-speed corridors create dangerous conditions for cyclists. According to the California Office of Traffic Safety, thousands of bicycle-related injuries and fatalities occur each year, with many incidents happening at intersections where visibility and right-of-way issues contribute to collisions.
California law requires motorists to maintain a safe distance of at least three feet when passing bicyclists, yet many accidents still result from drivers failing to yield or misjudging distances. In some cases, poor road conditions or lack of designated bike lanes also play a role in these tragic events.
Victims of bicycle accidents often face severe injuries, including broken bones, head trauma, and internal injuries, which can result in long-term medical care and financial hardship. If you or a loved one has been injured in a bicycle accident, it is important to understand your rights and options for seeking compensation.
