Bicycle Accidents
One of the most memorable times in your childhood had to be when you first learned how to ride a bike. While a bicycle is a great way to get around San Diego, a bicycle accident can cause you serious personal injury. If you or a loved one have been involved in a bicycle accident in San Diego or anywhere in California, the first thing you should do is hire an experienced automobile accident lawyer to help you file an insurance claim.
Bicycle Accident Statistics
You may not believe it, but a fatal bicycle accident occurs once every six hours.
There are about 73 to 85 million bicycle riders in the U.S., including at least 44 million people over the age of six. About 540,000 bicyclists visit emergency rooms with injuries every year, and over 90 percent of bicyclist wrongful deaths happen in crashes with automobiles.
Leading Causes of Bicycle Accidents
- Bicycles are hard to see, especially in the dark, and prone to nighttime driving accidents.
- A driver hits a bicyclist from behind when making a right turn.
- A distracted driver fails to see a bike rider.
- A driver fails to yield or runs a stop sign or red light and hits a bicyclist.
- The bike rider is hit by a drunk-driver or someone driving under the influence of drugs.
