Bicycle Accidents in California
Bicycle accidents in California continue to be a serious concern. Each year, thousands of cyclists suffer injuries in collisions with motor vehicles. The state sees an average of over 100 bicyclist fatalities annually, with many more sustaining significant injuries. Urban areas, including Los Angeles, are particularly prone to such incidents due to high traffic volume and limited bike-friendly infrastructure.
Some of the most common causes of bicycle accidents include:
- Failure to Yield – Many crashes occur when drivers fail to yield the right-of-way to cyclists at intersections, stop signs, or driveways. This often results in side-impact collisions.
- Distracted Driving – Motorists using their phones, eating, or engaging in other distractions may not notice a cyclist in time to avoid a crash.
- Dooring Accidents – Cyclists can be severely injured when drivers open their car doors without checking for approaching riders.
- Speeding Drivers – Excessive speed reduces a driver’s reaction time, increasing the risk of hitting a cyclist and worsening the severity of injuries.
- Poor Road Conditions – Potholes, debris, and poorly maintained bike lanes can force cyclists into the path of vehicles, leading to accidents.
