The most common claim defense attorneys make about bicycle car accidents is that bicycles do not belong on the road. Bicyclists have the same rights to roads as trucks and cars.

We consistently see bicycle auto accidents where a cyclist is pulling out of a side road or parking lot are hit because drivers are not paying attention. Another very common accident we see is when a motor vehicle is turning left and does not see the cyclist travelling towards them.  Bicycle truck accidents are widespread yet could easily be avoided. These are all common instances of negligence by motor vehicle drivers in bicycle car accidents that we can help you with.

On average there are over 50,000 bicycle auto accident injuries reported each year and over 800 fatalities.  The actual number of bicycle car accidents is much higher considering that most bicycle auto accidents are never reported by police.

·        88% of the fatalities and 82 % of those injured last year were males

·        Nearly 70% of all fatal bicycle crashes involve head injuries

·        Only 20-25% of all bicyclists wear bicycle helmets.

·        In 2008:

o       773 bicyclists were killed in bicycle auto accidents

o       44,000 were injured in traffic crashes.

o       Children 14 and younger accounted for 98 of those fatalities (13%)

§         Making bicycle auto accidents one of the most frequent causes of injury related death for young children.

Here are some guidelines that may help prevent or lessen the injuries from a bicycle auto accident:

1. Wear bright, reflective clothing
2. Attach lights to you or your bike
1. White headlamp and a red rear reflector
3. ALWAYS wear a helmet
4. Make sure you bicycle is in proper condition
1. Inflated tires, working brakes, etc…
5. Be aware of your surroundings
1. High volume roads require more awareness
6. Ride with traffic
1. Studies show riding against traffic is 3 times more dangerous
7. If possible avoid night riding
1. Fatalities occurred most frequently from 5-9 p.m. (27%).
8. Don’t hug the right side of the road, Ride further left into the center.
1. While you are worried about being hit from behind, this actually protects you more because drivers are looking down the center of the lane.
2. This is very important at intersections so that cars see you near the middle of the lane, preventing them turning out in front of you.
9. Use Hand Signals
10. Do not ride with headphones
11. Make eye contact with other drivers
1. Never assume someone sees you
