Bicycle Accidents
It’s unfortunate that as the popularity of bicycling has increased dramatically over the last 30 years, many automobile and truck operators continue with a lack of respect for cyclists and more often than not, fail to see them. As cyclists ourselves, we are sensitive to the claims of those injured in cycling accidents, and we are prepared to do our part to uphold cyclists’ rights.
There are different types of bicycle crashes, the most tragic of which usually are bike-car collisions. Cyclists are completely defenseless traveling on 30 pound bikes when they’re surrounded by 3,000 pound cars and trucks racing by them. Common types of bike-car collisions that often end in tragedy include:
- Motorist Entering Roadway
- Motorist fails to yield
- Motorist turning
- Motorist passing cyclist
Motorists and cyclists must obey the same traffic laws including many new bicycle-related laws. Ignorance of the laws is not an excuse when a motorist injures a cyclist.
