Ventura, California Bicycle Accidents
California Drivers Must Share the Road With Cyclists
Bicycle riding is both a popular recreational activity and means of transportation in California. Anyone who has ridden a bike understands the dangers of riding on roads over crowded with vehicle traffic. Bicyclists know there is very little protection for a rider involved in a bicycle accident and bicycle injuries can be severe. If you have been involved in a bike accident, contact an experienced bicycle accident attorney. Our law office handles personal injury cases, and attorney Robert P. Jennings may be able to help you, call 805-981-3937.
Causes of Bike Accidents
A number of causes can contribute to California cycling accidents. Cyclists often share the road with other vehicles and pedestrians, which presents the opportunity for collisions and accidents. Each year, hundreds of cyclists are killed in accidents that are caused by negligent automobile drivers who are distracted or do not see them - too often children are hurt or killed while riding bikes. Bicycle accidents can occur anywhere on the road, but often happen in intersections.
Bicycle accidents commonly result in a variety of serious injuries, in addition to death. Common serious injuries from bicycle accidents include:
- Head injuries
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- Fractures of the nose, face, wrists, arms, collarbone (clavicle) and/or legs
- Neck and spinal cord injuries
- Dislocations and serious soft tissue injuries
- Deep cuts and road rash abrasions that lead to scarring
Determining Fault in a Bicycle Accident - Damages and Compensation
If somebody else caused you to be seriously injured in a California bike crash, you may be entitled to damages. Even if you were partly at fault, the law states that each party at fault be responsible for damages. Because injuries sustained in a bike accident can be substantial, bicyclists and their families may lose the quality of life they previously enjoyed. You may be able to recover your past and future lost wages, expenses for doctors, hospitals and skilled caregivers, and other expenses related to your bicycle accident. You also may be entitled to money that would compensate you for any pain, disability and disfigurement you have and may continue to suffer.
