California Bicycle Accident Lawyers
Although motor vehicles are the most popular form of transportation on our roads, bicycles have long been a standard for non-motored transport. Bicyclists are held to the same laws and regulations as automobile drivers are, and they deserve equal space on the road. In California, the motor vehicle bureau sets strict standards for bicyclists to prevent serious bicycle accidents. Some of these regulations include:
- Staying extremely visible
- Keeping aware of dangerous conditions
- Checking on other vehicles behind and beside you
- Using hand signals
- Wearing bright clothing
- Using lights and reflectors
- Staying out of motor vehicles’ blond spots
- Riding in a straight line
- Remaining about 1 yard from curbs and other vehicles
- Following all rules of the road: stopping at red lights and stop signs, slowing for yield signs, and riding in flow of traffic
Unfortunately, there are occasions when other drivers are negligent or the roads prove to be hazardous and bike accidents occur. Bicyclists, even when wearing helmets, can sustain serious, catastrophic personal injuries to the back, neck, spinal cord, head, and brain. When a bike accident happens, victims and their families should consult an experienced California bicycle accident attorney and fight for the compensation they deserve!
