Bicycle Accidents in California
Studies show that hundreds of bicyclists lose their lives every year in the United States. The most common cause is negligent driving, which includes speeding, using a cell phone, driving under the influence, and any other distracting activity. Because this was a hit-and-run accident, it’s clear that negligent behavior was involved. Once the police find and arrest the driver responsible, the injured bicyclist could file a personal injury lawsuit with the help of a personal injury attorney.
