Common Bicycle Accident Causes

Bicycle accidents can happen anywhere in Arizona at any time, and the results can be devastating. Even the most careful of cyclists can still get into an accident at the fault of a negligent car driver. There are other dangers to cyclists outside of drivers on the road. There is often a lack of appropriate signage and bike lanes, which all create an environment where catastrophic accidents involving cyclists can occur. Some of the most common bicycle accident causes include:

  • Entering traffic from a parking spot or driveway
  • Entering the road immediately in front of a cyclist
  • Driving while intoxicated
  • Running a red light or stop sign
  • Distracted driving
  • Driving at dangerous speeds
  • Making an unsafe turn
  • Failure to yield the right-of-way
  • Dooring, or the act of hitting a cyclist with a car door
  • Making an unsafe lane change
  • Entering the bike lane

Possible Injuries Due to a Bicycle Accident

The difference in size between a passenger car and a bicycle are considerable. Because of this difference, cyclists often sustain serious or life-threatening injuries. Some of these injuries can include road rash, bodily amputation, internal organ damage, disfigurement, and death. But the most common injuries associated with bike accidents are:

  • Head Injuries & Traumatic Brain Injuries – Even with a helmet, cyclists can suffer skull fractures, concussions, traumatic brain injuries, and intracranial bleeding in an accident.
  • Broken Bones – Cyclists often sustain painful fractures in the arms, wrists, legs, back, collarbone, and other areas, sometimes suffering multiple fractures in a single crash.
  • Spinal Injuries – Severe spinal injuries, including slipped discs, fractured vertebrae, or spinal cord damage, can lead to long-term impairment, paralysis, or even death.

Damages You Can Claim After a Bike Crash

Being seriously injured in a bike accident is something nobody expects to have to endure. With the help of an attorney, victims of bike wrecks may be able to demand compensation. The Statute of Limitations in Arizona for personal injuries is 2 years after the date of the accident. If a victim waits until after that 2 years to file a claim, they will lose their right to collect compensation. The damages bicycle accident victims can claim may include but are not limited to:

  • Medical expenses
  • Wrongful death
  • Loss of income due to injuries
  • Diminished earning potential
  • Loss of job and ability to work
  • Special equipment necessary because of medical issues
