What are the Most Common Bicycle Accident Causes?
According to an Insurance Institute of Highway Safety (IIHS) educational study, 843 bicyclists were killed in collisions with motor vehicles in 2019. Many riders would say drivers frequently fail to respect cyclists’ rights. They will text, call, drive too quickly, and fail to give bikers enough room while ostensibly sharing the road.
With vehicles appearing to be just concerned with themselves, cyclists must be aware and attentive at all times—the difference can be life or death.
The most common causes of bicycle accidents:
-
Speeding
-
Poorly Designed Crossing Points
-
Inadequate Visibility
-
Infractions of Traffic Laws
-
Driving While Distracted or Reckless
-
Unsafe Driving Conditions
-
Inadequate Separation of Drivers and Bikers
What Should You Do If You Get in a Bicycle Accident?
-
You may have been knocked unconscious or unable to move due to an accident. Depending on your abilities, try to take the following precautions to protect your health (and your personal injury case)
Examine For Injuries
-
Minor injuries that go untreated might lead to serious health issues. Bikers must seek immediate medical attention after an accident; without an examination, it is hard to ascertain the actual extent of the injuries sustained.
Notify Emergency Services
-
If anyone is injured, call 911 right away. Request that the police issue a formal report—a police report can be beneficial in your case.
Take Pictures or Document the Accident
-
Obtain the driver’s contact and insurance information, as well as the contact information of any witnesses to the collision. If you have a cell phone or a camera, write down everything you remember about the accident (time, location, road conditions, etc.) and snap images of the scene.
Don’t say anything
-
Never apologize or confess blame for the mishap. Give the police detailed and concise information regarding the incident, then contact us to get the most out of your case.
Most personal injury claims must be filed within two years of the accident, but other variables can delay a victim’s ability to make a claim. A bicycle accident victim may only have 180 days from the accident date to claim if a government agency or public organization is involved.
You should consult a personal injury lawyer as quickly as feasible to get the most out of your case. Insurance companies will do everything they can to convince you to settle for less—you need a law firm that will not cut them any deals.
