While people often believe that it is a safe activity to ride a bicycle, that is not always the case. Bike accidents can result in serious injuries or even death. In fact, nearly 1,000 bicyclists were killed in 2019 alone due to collisions with motor vehicles. This figure does not include the thousands that survived but were seriously injured in a similar bicycle crash. If you or a loved one has been hurt while riding your bike, you need to speak with a bicycle accident lawyer who can fight to get you justice and the settlement you deserve.

Common Causes of Bike Accidents
Since bicyclists are at an increased risk of injury in an accident, it is important to understand the main causes of these incidents. Even the most safety-conscious bicyclists can be involved in a bike accident. These accidents are often the result of negligence on the part of the motor vehicle owner. Some of the most common factors that contribute to a bike accident are:
- Distracted driving
- Driving while intoxicated
- Failing to leave enough space for cyclists
- Reckless driving
- Changing lanes without checking for cyclists
- Turning without looking in both directions
- Ignoring traffic control devices
- Failing to yield
- Fatigue (driving without enough sleep)
- Carelessly drifting into the bike lane
- Not sharing the road
