Bicycle Accidents in California
Unfortunately, almost 1,000 bicyclists are killed every year in the United States, with the leading cause being negligent driving. Because bicycles don’t have loud engines and are hard to see, it is likely that drivers who are not paying attention will crash into them. When drivers are using their cell phone, driving under the influence, driving fatigued, speeding, violating traffic laws, eating, or partaking in other distracting behavior, they are more likely to harm surrounding bicyclists.
