How Will An Attorney Help This Case?

A bicycle accident caused by dangerous roadway conditions is likely going to require extensive investigation in order to prove liability. While most bicycle accident victims will not have the resources to conduct a thorough investigation, an experienced bicycle accident attorney will have the ability to do so. In these cases, it may be necessary to work with roadway and intersection design experts to determine whether or not a bicycle accident was caused by dangerous conditions. It may also be necessary to employ accident reconstruction experts to prove what happened in the incident.

How Do Dangerous Roadways Affect Bicyclists?

According to data from the California Office of Traffic Safety, there were more than 11,300 bicycle accident injuries and 155 bicycle accident fatalities during the latest reporting year across the state. In many cases, these incidents were caused by the negligence of other drivers. However, there are times when crashes are caused but dangerous roadway conditions.

Some of the most common causes of dangerous roadway bicycle accidents include:

• Dangerous or inadequately marked crosswalks or bike paths
• Unmarked holes, bumps, or other serious defects in the roadway
• Roadway signs or signals which are hidden by overgrown vegetation
• Malfunctioning crosswalk signs
• Roads that flood or become dangerously slippery during rainfall

Unfortunately, bicyclists are more likely to sustain serious injuries in crashes caused by dangerous roadway conditions than those inside traditional passenger vehicles. Even when a bicyclist is wearing a helmet, they still have little protection if their bodies are slammed onto the roadway or into other objects.
