Bicycle Accidents
Many residents of the San Francisco Bay Area ride bicycles for transportation or recreation. Besides the myriad benefits, cycling is deeply ingrained into Bay Area culture.
However, the busy streets of the Bay Area can often put cyclists in dangerous situations. Unfortunately, California often leads the nation in fatal bicycle accidents. Bicyclists frequently crash and are injured because of:
Negligent and careless drivers
Gravel, sand, or other debris in the roadway
Road construction
Potholes and defects in pavement and sidewalks
Rim, tire, chain and other equipment defects and failures
Defects in protective gear
