Redwood City Bicycle Accident Attorney

In a collision between a car and a bicycle, the bicycle always loses. In 2021, 966 bicyclists died in accidents with motor vehicles across the country. Most bicycle accidents are the result of drivers who are careless, distracted, or don’t understand that bicyclists have the same right to use the roads as motor vehicles.

What Are The Causes of Bicycle Accidents

Sometimes, the cause of the bicycle accident is not as it first appears. Police reports, for example, are quick to blame the cyclist when, in reality, the fault lies elsewhere. Some causes of bicycle accidents include:

• Distracted driving
• Texting and driving
• Drunk driving
• Driver failing to yield the right-of-way
• Poorly designed roadways
• Roadway defects or lack of maintenance
• Defective bicycles or component parts such as forks or skewers

Who Is Liable For the Bicycle Accident?

In California, the negligent driver is responsible for the injuries he or she causes. If the driver cannot be found, the cyclist’s uninsured motorist carrier may be required to stand in the driver’s shoes and compensate the cyclist for his injuries. If the condition or design of the road or bike path played a part in the accident, the state or municipality responsible for the public facility may be held accountable.
