Bicycle Accidents in California
Recent studies show that an average of two people per day suffer fatal injuries after being involved in bicycle accidents in the United States. The reason so many bicyclists lose their lives is usually due to drivers’ lack of attention. When drivers fail to check their blind spots, they put bicyclists at great risk. Drivers also turn in front of oncoming cyclists, sideswipe them, open doors in front of them, or hit them while they’re under the influence. It’s important for all injured victims to hire a California personal injury attorney to help them recover compensation for bodily injuries, property damage, pain and suffering, and more.
The police are currently investigating this accident to determine causation and liability. Once they conclude their findings, the bicyclist’s family could file a wrongful death lawsuit to help cover funeral expenses.
