Bicycle Accidents
Car accidents can be caused by a wide variety of factors. Drivers may face unusual weather, debris on the road, unexpected road conditions, and many other scenarios. However, some of the most dangerous accidents that can occur involve collisions between cars and bicycles. Bicycles can be fast moving and hard to see, and cyclists have little protection, making them susceptible to traumatic injuries.
If you or someone you know has been injured in a collision between a car and a bicycle, you may be able to secure compensation for your medical costs and suffering. Contact the Stevens Point car accident attorneys of Habush Habush & Rottier S.C. ®, at 800-242-2874 to discuss your options today.
How to Be Safe Around Bicycles
There are several things drivers can do to promote safety on the road. These include:
- Stay aware of bicycle friendly areas in your city. Many roads are equipped with bicycle lanes and may experience heavy bicycle traffic. Parks and other areas are also likely to be filled with cyclists.
- Do not expect bicyclists to follow traffic laws. Although they are technically considered a vehicle, many bicycle riders do not adhere strictly to all driving laws. When you encounter a bicyclist, exhibit extreme caution and do not assume that they will follow all the rules of the road.
- Keep a safe distance between your vehicle and a bicycle. If you drive too close to a bicycle, you may not be able to slow or stop safely in time to avoid an accident.
