Bicycle Accidents

Need An Injury Attorney California – Bicycle Accident

California is a progressive state for cyclists. The terrain offers great adventures in the way of mountain biking and races. Many people in the cities use bicycles to commute and avoid the traffic and steep gas prices. There is even a movement in San Diego pushing for the ability of bicycles to ride on the freeways. Essentially the law states that a bicycle can operate like a car as long as it follows the same rules of the road. In an effort to curb bicycle accidents a law was implemented in 2010 that demands cars to keep a 3 feet minimum distance from cyclists. This space gives cyclists the opportunity to feel safer on the road, given that many bicycle accidents occur when a parked car on the street opens their car door without checking the mirror and it forces a cyclist to weave into oncoming traffic.

It is a sad fact that too many bicycle accidents occur in the state. In large cities such as San Francisco, Los Angeles, and San Diego it can be pinpointed to intersections. Some intersections are a lot more dangerous for cyclists than others. The city may attempt to post safety signs at these locations but it can only deter accidents and when you are the victim in such a case, your situation is all you can think about. While cars are supposed to yield the right of way to bicycles, the fault is often shared in the process. This is based on which party acted more negligently and who could have prevented the accident if they were riding or driving with caution. The cyclist will always suffer more injuries in a bicycle accident. Taking your claim to a personal injury attorney is the best way to protect yourself and fight for the compensation you deserve.
