SAN BERNARDINO BICYCLE ACCIDENT ATTORNEY
San Bernardino is a city where residents enjoy beautiful weather all year round, making it a perfect location to get out and ride a bicycle. Many people take advantage of the weather and commute to and from work as well. But cyclists here put themselves in harm’s way every time they share our local streets and highways with motor vehicles. The truth is that Southern California has some of the most dangerous roadways in the country. Cyclists invest lots of money in helmets, reflective clothing, lights for their bikes, and other safety equipment, but they still have very little protection against a negligent driver behind the wheel of a vehicle. Despite the best efforts of cyclists, most accidents with motor vehicles occur because the driver did not see the cyclist. Unfortunately, many cyclists hit by motor vehicles sustain serious injuries, which can be fatal.

The Most Common Types of Bicycle Accidents
The most serious and most common bicycle accidents involve collisions with motor vehicles. They typically result in severe injuries to the cyclist. However, other types of bicycle accidents can also result in very serious injuries and leave injured riders with little choice but to seek damages from the at-fault party. Some of these other types include:
- Accidents from equipment failure: When a part of a bicycle fails due to a manufacturing defect, a design defect, or a failure to warn, the injured rider may have a valid product liability claim against the manufacturer, the distributor, the vendor who sold the bike, or the shop that supplied and installed the defective part.
- Accidents caused by poor road or trail conditions: Bicycle accidents occur due to poor road or trail conditions, including large holes in the pavement, loose gravel, road work, and other hazards in the cyclist’s path. If no warning signs are posted of the hazardous conditions, and they lead to an accident, the cyclist may have grounds for litigation.
- Accidents caused by poor route markings and/or traffic direction during an event: In an organized cycling event, the race route must be clearly marked and riders must be warned ahead of time of any permanent obstacles along the route, such as signs, curbs, train track crossings, or traffic islands. All vehicle traffic must be diverted to protect riders and spectators. If a rider suffers injury due to poor markings or lax safety measures, a skilled San Bernardino bicycle accident attorney can pursue damages against the event organizers or other at-fault parties.
