Driver Negligence is a Leading Cause of Bicycle Accidents

California bicycle accidents happen for a variety of reasons. However, one of the most common causes is a motorist’s carelessness or recklessness while behind the wheel. Our experienced Paso Robles bicycle accident attorneys can represent you if you were injured or lost a loved one in a bicycle crash caused by someone else’s negligence. Instances of negligence that can cause bicycle accidents may include:

• Distracted driving
• Drowsy driving
• Impaired driving due to drugs or alcohol
• Poor road conditions due to defects in the road, bad weather, and traffic
• Failure to yield the right of way
• Speeding
• Failure to check blind spots

Compensation for Bicycle Accident Injuries

After suffering injuries in a collision with a bicyclist or while you were riding your bike, you should consult an experienced Paso Robles personal injury lawyer about your right to compensation. If there is evidence that another person was at fault for the accident, you may be able to pursue compensation for your financial, physical, and psychological injuries. Working with a lawyer will make it far more likely that you can recover a sufficient sum to help you get back on your feet and move forward.

• Past, current, and future medical bills
