Bicycle Accidents in California

Studies show that 45 percent of all bicycle accidents occur at intersections. When drivers fail to check their surroundings before making right turns, they often accidentally strike bicyclists. Because riders only wear helmets, the rest of their bodies are highly susceptible to obtaining serious injuries. Some of the most common injuries include spinal cord injuries, broken bones, and internal organ injuries. Depending on how severe injuries get, medical treatment may be required for extensive periods of time, which could cost thousands of dollars. Therefore, if a rider believes they were not at fault for the collision, they should immediately contact an experienced California personal injury lawyer for legal help.
