Bicycle Accidents in California
Statistics from 2022 show that bicyclist deaths account for approximately four percent of all motor vehicle accidents in the state of California. This number is considered to be twice that of the national average.
Unfortunately, hundreds of bicyclists lose their lives, while thousands more are left with serious injuries due to automobile accidents that take place in our state every year.
In many instances, bicycle accidents reported in the state of California are entirely preventable. We see countless victims lose their lives or suffer serious injuries as a result of drivers who:
- Travel above the posted speed limit and lose control of their vehicles.
- Run red lights or pass through stop signs while traveling through intersections.
- Fail to yield the right-of-way to other motorists who are able to travel through areas.
- Operate the vehicle while impaired.
