California Bicycle Accidents 

Bicycle accidents are not as common as other types of collisions, such as those involving cars or trucks. However, this does not mean that they are any less dangerous or deadly. In fact, crashes involving bicyclists tend to have a much higher rate of injury, serious injury, and even death. The reasons for this are obvious as bicyclists have little or no protection from the impact of a crash.

The reality is that many bicycle accidents take place because of the actions of negligent drivers. Speeding, distraction, reckless driving, and impairment are among the common causes of these collisions.
