Riverside Bicycle Accident Attorney

EXPERIENCED RIVERSIDE BICYCLE ACCIDENT ATTORNEYS

Riding bikes is a common form of recreation in California, and Riverside County offers a widespread network of bicycle pathways, bike lanes, and recreational events for cycling enthusiasts, commuters, and fitness buffs. Besides being inexpensive, bike riding is a great exercise that doesn’t harm the environment. It’s no wonder that more and more cyclists are sharing the road with motor vehicles in Riverside to commute to work, run errands, or just have fun.

Unfortunately, this puts them at risk of serious injury and even death every time they go out on the road. Regardless of how careful they are, most cyclists have had to perform evasive maneuvers at least once to avoid an accident with a car or truck on local streets and highways. Hundreds have experienced serious injuries, and more than a dozen have died in bicycle accidents in Riverside County in recent years.

Bicyclists have the same rights as Motor Vehicle Drivers in California

Many drivers either don’t know or intentionally ignore the California law that states bicyclists have the same rights to area roadways as motor vehicles do. Riders also have the same responsibilities to abide by the rules of the road and respect the right-of-way of other vehicles as drivers do. There are some irresponsible cyclists who increase the chances of a vehicle striking them by weaving in and out of traffic, talking on cell phones, listening to music while riding, or disobeying traffic signals and stop signs. However, the vast majority of accidents, injuries, and fatalities involving motor vehicles and bikes are caused by negligent drivers.

Here are some common reasons drivers cause accidents with cyclists:

  • Failure to honor a cyclist’s right-of-way
  • Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs
  • Driver fatigue
  • Talking or texting on phones while driving
  • Crowding bicyclists off the road
  • Running stop signs and red lights
  • Changing lanes without looking
  • Weaving through traffic
  • Driving over the speed limit
  • Failure to yield the right of way
  • Engaging in road rage and intimidating riders with their vehicles
