Bicycles, Motorists and Road Conditions

Bicycle accidents often occur due to the negligence of other drivers on the road. Whether it's a failure to yield, distracted driving, speeding, or disregarding traffic signals, the consequences can be devastating for cyclists. In many cases, drivers fail to adequately share the road with cyclists, leading to collisions that result in serious injuries or even fatalities.

In 2019, the New York metropolitan area saw 18,494 bicycle injuries with 16 fatalities. In the following year, even with the pandemic lockdown, there were 12,432 injuries and 28 deaths. Since 2020, the number of bicycle accidents has decreased, however, the severity of the collisions has increased.

Bicycle accidents can also be caused by the following:

Poor road conditions pose significant hazards to cyclists.

Cracks, potholes

Uneven pavement

Debris on the road

Inadequate signage

Poorly marked bike lanes

Lack of road structure designed

Cyclists may find themselves forced into dangerous situations, such as swerving to avoid obstacles or riding too close to traffic, increasing the likelihood of collisions. When negligence leads to a bicycle accident, seeking legal recourse becomes essential to hold the responsible party accountable and obtain compensation for the damages incurred.
