Bicycle Accidents in Los Angeles

Bicycle accidents continue to be a serious safety concern across Los Angeles, particularly in high-traffic areas such as West 3rd Street, where cyclists share limited road space with vehicles. According to the California Office of Traffic Safety, Los Angeles County consistently reports some of the highest numbers of bicycle-related injuries and fatalities in the state.

Common causes of bicycle accidents include driver inattention, unsafe lane changes, failure to yield, and opening car doors without checking for approaching cyclists. Even at moderate speeds, a collision between a car and a bicycle can result in severe injuries such as broken bones, spinal trauma, or head injuries. Victims often face long recovery periods, substantial medical expenses, and emotional stress as they work toward rehabilitation. In some cases, these incidents can lead to long-term physical limitations that affect mobility and overall quality of life.

Under California law, injured cyclists have the right to pursue compensation if another party’s negligence caused the crash. Compensation may cover medical bills, rehabilitation, lost income, and pain and suffering. However, navigating these claims can be complex, particularly when determining liability between drivers and cyclists. Legal guidance is essential to ensure that all evidence is preserved and that victims receive fair and full compensation.
