In California, cyclists generally have the same rights and responsibilities as drivers and are entitled to share the road and use travel lanes, subject to local rules like bike lane requirements.
Are intersections a common site for bicycle crashes?

Cyclists can suffer road rash, broken bones, head injuries, and joint or ligament damage, since they have little protection compared to someone inside a vehicle.
What to Do After a Bicycle Accident in Visalia, CA
If you're involved in a bicycle collision in Visalia, stay at the scene and call 911 right away. Let EMS check you over, even if you think you walked away unhurt. Take photos of the scene, the bicycle, and the vehicle if you're able, and get contact information from the driver and any witnesses nearby. Ask for the police report number so you can follow up later. Afterward, see a doctor for a full evaluation, since impact injuries aren't always obvious right after a crash.
