Common Causes of Bicycle Accidents

The road is rarely the cyclist’s fault.

Bicycle accidents can occur due to various factors, many of which stem from driver negligence. Some of the most common causes include:

  • Distracted driving

    Motorists using mobile phones or other distractions may fail to notice cyclists.

  • Failure to yield

    Drivers often overlook bicycles at intersections or when making turns.

  • Speeding & reckless driving

    Excessive speed reduces reaction time and increases the severity of crashes.

  • Drunk or impaired driving

    Alcohol and drugs impair a driver’s ability to react appropriately.

  • Poor road conditions

    Potholes, debris, and lack of bike lanes increase the risk of accidents.

Injuries in Bicycle Accidents

The toll on an unprotected body.

Bicyclists are at a high risk of suffering serious injuries due to the lack of protection compared to motor vehicles:

  • Head trauma and traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)
  • Spinal cord injuries
  • Fractures and broken bones
  • Internal injuries and organ damage
  • Lacerations and road rash
Filing a Bicycle Accident Claim

If you have been injured in a bicycle accident, you may be entitled to compensation for:

  • Head trauma and traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)
  • Spinal cord injuries
  • Fractures and broken bones
  • Internal injuries and organ damage
  • Lacerations and road rash

Louisiana follows a comparative fault system, meaning that even if you are partially at fault, you may still recover damages. Your percentage of fault may ultimately reduce your compensation. A qualified attorney can help ensure you receive the maximum compensation possible.
