Bicycle Accidents in California
Unfortunately, California has the highest number of bicycle fatalities throughout the entire nation. From 2010 to 2012, about 338 bicyclists sustained fatal injuries after being hit by vehicles. When bicycle accidents occur late at night, it’s usually due to drunk drivers or drowsy drivers. It’s unfortunate that drivers get behind the wheel under these circumstances and put themselves and others around them in danger of being seriously harmed. For those injured in a bicycle accident, it’s important to contact an experienced California personal injury attorney for legal help.
