Caruthers Bicycle Accident Lawyer
Caruthers Bike Accident
Bicycle accidents often result in potentially fatal injuries, such as traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, back injuries, burn injuries, head injuries, neck injuries, amputation (loss of limb) injuries, internal organ injuries, bone fracture injuries and neurological injuries. Bicycle accidents tend to produce much more serious results for cyclists because they have nothing to protect them from the impact of a motor vehicle. The average weight of a passenger vehicle is approximately 3,000 pounds. The average weight of a bicycle is approximately 30 pounds. A bicycle is simply no match for the average passenger vehicle or a larger vehicle.

Causes of Caruthers Bicycle Accidents
Inattentive drivers
Inattentive drivers are one of the biggest threats to Caruthers cyclists. Simple distractions, such as spilling coffee or dropping an item on the floor of a car can cause a driver to take his or her eyes off the road and surrounding area. Cell phones, other passengers, a radio system or navigation system can also cause a driver to lose focus of the road.
Defective bicycle parts
Although not as common as bicycle accidents caused by inattentive drivers, accidents caused by defective bike parts do occur. Cyclists may be injured when a faulty brake, defective tire, malfunctioning seat, faulty spoke or defective handlebar causes them to lose control of their bike.
Bad road conditions
Bad road conditions, such as potholes, loose gravel, scattered debris and unmarked construction zones are a factor in many bicycle accidents. Faulty traffic signals, missing traffic signs and poorly lit sidewalks and streets can also contribute to a Caruthers bicycle accident occurring.
If you suspect your bicycle accident was caused by an inattentive driver, defective bike part or bad road condition, it is important a detailed investigation of the accident is conducted. A detailed bicycle accident investigation can reveal the events leading up to the incident and ultimately, the party or entity responsible for the accident.
