A closer look at bike accidents:
Most bicycle accidents are caused by a motor vehicle, usually causing severe injuries to the
rider. In the worst cases, death. The most common bike collisions occur when:
- A vehicle does not leave enough road room and the biker is clipped by a mirror or trailer
- A biker loses their balance because of the draft of a passing car or truck
- A car pulls out of a side street or driveway into a biker’s right-of-way
- A motorist does not yield the right-of-way to a biker making a left turn
- A person in a parked car opens a door, blocking your path
- A dog knocks you off your bicycle
If these situations sound familiar, don’t hesitate to contact a personal injury lawyer at Bye, Goff & Rohde.
