Bicycle Accidents in California
Bicycle accidents are a persistent concern in California, particularly at intersections where vehicle and cyclist paths often cross. Even when cyclists have the right-of-way, visibility issues, driver inattention, and sudden movements can lead to dangerous collisions. Areas like 65th Street and Stockton Boulevard, where traffic is heavy and multi-lane roads intersect, present heightened risks for cyclists and pedestrians alike.
Even minor bicycle crashes can result in painful injuries, medical expenses, and lasting emotional distress. Knowing what steps to take after an accident—such as seeking medical attention, gathering evidence, and understanding legal rights—can be critical for an injured cyclist’s recovery and well-being.
