Our Redondo Beach Bicycle Accident Attorneys Get You Compensation For Your Injuries 

The Redondo Beach Bike Path runs directly through the city, stretching from King Harbor through to Torrence. It is designed to protect bicyclists' safety while taking them past stores, shops, and other attractions, but users are warned to use caution. Bicycle accidents can still happen, particularly at night and on weekends and holidays when traffic is heaviest. 

When bicycle accidents do occur, reckless behavior on the part of motorists is often to blame. Harris Personal Injury Lawyers help you hold them accountable.

What Are Common Causes Of Redondo Beach Bicycle Accidents? 

The California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) reports an average of roughly three people each month are injured due to bicycle accidents in Redondo Beach. In terms of risk, this ranks us in the top ten percent compared to similarly sized cities across the state.  

One of the leading cause of bicycle accidents in Redondo Beach is recklessness on the part of motorists involved. This includes:  

• Distracted driving: Talking on cell phones, texting, and other behaviors divert the driver’s attention from the road and make bike accidents more likely to happen. 
• Driving while impaired: Driving under the influence of alcohol, drugs, and medications is a common cause of bike accidents in our area. 
• Engaging in aggressive driving: This includes speeding, improper passing, and failure to yield. 
• Running red lights and stop signs: This is a common cause of potentially deadly bicycle accidents in intersections.  
• Speeding and going too fast for conditions: This increases not only the risk of bicycle accidents in Redondo Beach but also the potential for life threatening personal injuries.  

As experienced Redondo Beach bicycle accident attorneys, we can determine the exact cause of your crash and hold at fault drivers accountable in a claim.
