You should be able to ride your bicycle safely on the road. If you have been injured in an accident that was caused by the negligence of someone driving a motor vehicle, you should hire a Bicycle Accident Lawyer. Hiring a Lawyer and building a case against the person who hit you is the only way to get fair compensation.
Here are some of the most common causes of Bicycle Accidents:
Drivers should not be sending or reading text messages or playing with their digital pads while driving. Their full attention should be on the road and what is going on around them. Unfortunately, too many people believe that they can still drive safely with eyes on the screen of their mobile device rather than on the road.
Despite decades of public safety campaigning and the passage of strict laws, people still continue to drink while under the influence of alcohol and drugs. There has been an especially significant rise in the number of Bicycle Accidents caused by people who drive under the influence of prescription medication.
No one should get behind the wheel of a motor vehicle tired and fatigued. If a driver falls asleep at the wheel, and loses control of their vehicle, a resulting crash may cause injuries to themselves, other motorists, or bicyclists.
Speed limits are posted for a reason. They are designed to keep everyone on the road safe. Drivers who speed excessively and make dangerous turns and overtakes are a major cause of Bicycle Accidents.
You should never ride your bike against oncoming traffic. Accidents of this type account for 25% of Bicycle Accidents nationwide.
If a driver makes a turn at high speed, they may be unable to stop in time to prevent a crash with bicycle, which will be going at a much slower speed.
When a driver pulls out of a small road onto a larger one, it can put bicyclists in danger. If a bicyclist is speeding toward the same junction, they may not have enough time to react to the sudden emergence of a vehicle in front of them.
These types of accidents account for nearly 25% of Bicycle Accidents in urban areas. Even if a motorist parks legally on a street, they should look both ways before opening their door.
