What Causes Bicycling Accidents?
Many mishaps can happen when riding a bicycle. Child accident victims are often not at fault. Environmental factors, including poor visibility, road conditions and even animal attacks, can cause bike accidents. Negligent motor vehicle operators can also cause accidents, especially if driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Some of the most common scenarios include these:
- Failing to yield at an intersection
- Motor vehicle operator turning unexpectedly into the bicyclist's path
- Child failing to yield at an entryway into traffic (such as a driveway)
- Motor vehicle operator attempting to pass a bicyclist and misjudging the amount of space necessary to do this safely
- Bicyclist making an unexpected turn into the path of an oncoming automobile
