Bicycle Accidents in California

Even though bicycle accidents don’t occur as frequently as motorcycle accidents, a considerable amount of bicyclists are still injured or killed every year in California. Although bicycles are technically not vehicles, they still must follow the same rules of the road as other vehicles, which means they deserve the same amount of respect and caution as other vehicles, too. Most of the time the reason bicyclists get harmed is because of distracted driving or reckless driving. When drivers are busy using their phones, conversing with passengers, speeding, driving under the influence, or driving fatigued, they put bicyclists at risk of possibly losing their lives.

The police are currently investigating this accident to determine what caused the vehicle to crash into a parking lot and ultimately hit the cyclist. Once they evaluate all factors, the bicyclist will more than likely be able to file a personal injury lawsuit with the help of a California attorney.
