Car-Bicycle Accident

Arizona Personal Injury Lawyers for Car-Bicycle Accidents

In 2004, 41,000 bicyclists were injured and 725 were killed in traffic accidents. One out of every eight non-motorists killed in traffic accidents are bicycle riders. Cyclists under the age of 16 made up 21% of all bicycle deaths and 36% of bicycle injuries.

Causes of Automobile-Bicycle Collisions

An unprotected bicyclist is at great risk for severe injuries or even death from being hit by a large, fast-moving motor vehicle. For cars and bicycles to safely share the road, both cyclists and motorists must use extra caution and courtesy. But motorists often do not pay enough attention to bicyclists, and engage in such dangerous behaviors as:

• Turning in front of a cyclist
• Driving in or otherwise disregarding bike paths
• Passing too close to cyclists
• Opening car doors without looking for cyclists
• Stopping suddenly in front of a cyclist
