Why do Elk Grove Bicycle Accidents Happen?
What causes an Elk Grove bicycle accident to occur? Sadly, according to several bicycle accident studies, the majority of crashes are the result of motor vehicle driver negligence. Negligence is exhibited when a driver gets behind the wheel of a car while under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Negligence can also be witnessed in the actions of a driver who fails to obey the speed limit or talks on a cell phone while driving. Bicycle accidents can also happen when roads are not properly cared for. Cracks in the road, potholes, washouts and debris may not be dangerous to a car, but for a bicyclist, these road defects can be deadly. Lastly, poor bicycle design or construction can lead to a traumatic crash. Brakes, spokes, seats and handlebars are just some of the types of bike parts that can malfunction.
Elk Grove Bicycle Accident Injuries
How the accident occurred, how the cyclist was hit and what type of vehicle hit the cyclist often determines a bicyclist's injuries. Due to the fact that bicycles offer no protection to cyclists, injuries tend to be catastrophic. Cyclists often suffer from spinal cord injuries, head injuries, paralysis, back injuries, burn injuries, severed limb injuries, broken bone injuries, deep wounds, contusions, organ injuries, brain injuries and infection.
