Bicycle Accidents in California
In 2016, approximately 18,477 cyclists sustained injuries after being involved in road accidents nationwide. Because bicycles are less stable and not as easily seen as other motor vehicles, it’s easy for drivers to overlook them, especially if they’re in a driver’s blind spot. Drivers often switch lanes thinking no one is in the vicinity because they don’t see a large vehicle in their side mirrors. Because bicyclists only wear helmets, it’s very easy for them to sustain injuries after being hit by vehicles.
At Brady Law Group, we know that all drivers are responsible for being alert on the roads at all times, which includes constantly checking for any bicyclists in the area. When drivers fail to do so, they put bicyclists at extreme risk of sustaining catastrophic or fatal injuries. When this happens, we assist injured victims and grieving families with filing their personal injury and wrongful death lawsuits because we love helping them gain justice for their losses.
