Bicycle Accidents in California

Bicycle accidents continue to be a major issue throughout California. With the rise in bike commuting and recreational riding, the risk of cyclist-related crashes has increased, particularly in urban areas. In 2023, the state saw more than 10,000 reported incidents involving bicycles, many resulting in serious injuries.

Understanding the challenges victims face after a crash can help promote both prevention and recovery. Here are a few key issues that often arise:

• Emergency Medical Costs: Bicycle crashes often result in head injuries, broken bones, and internal trauma. Emergency room visits, surgeries, and follow-up care can create overwhelming medical bills.
• Insurance Gaps and Claim Delays: Many cyclists don’t carry insurance, and drivers may be uninsured or underinsured. Victims often struggle to secure full compensation without legal help.
• Fault Disputes: Law enforcement and insurance companies don’t always view cyclists as favorably as motorists. Proving the driver’s liability can become an uphill legal battle.
• Mental and Emotional Strain: Beyond physical injuries, victims may suffer anxiety or fear of returning to the road. These emotional injuries can impact daily life and long-term wellness.
• Damage to Personal Property: Bicycles, gear, and mobile devices are often damaged or destroyed in a crash. Replacing these items adds to the financial burden.
