Factors Affecting Sherman Bike Accidents

Bicyclists are likely to suffer serious bodily harm in collisions with motor vehicles. In addition to being injured in the initial impact with a vehicle, a person may suffer further injuries when they are thrown to the ground, especially if this places them in the path of other traffic. Even when bicyclists wear helmets and take other measures to protect themselves, they can be seriously injured through no fault of their own. Bike accidents may occur due to multiple forms of driver negligence, including:

• Traffic violations - Drivers may fail to obey traffic laws when sharing the roads with bicycles, and certain types of violations may increase the likelihood of bicycle accidents. These actions may include passing bicycles too closely, failing to yield the right of way to bicycles when required, or disobeying traffic signals. Reckless or aggressive driving, such as following closely behind bicycles or purposely running them off the road, can be especially dangerous, but even seemingly minor violations such as exceeding the speed limit may cause a driver to be unable to avoid colliding with a bicycle.
• Drunk driving - Intoxicated drivers are a major cause of bicycle accidents. Drug or alcohol use can significantly impair a person's driving skills, and even if a person's blood alcohol content (BAC) is below the legal limit, their ability to drive safely may be affected due to the combination of alcohol with other substances, such as prescription drugs or over-the-counter medications.
• Distracted driving - Many bicycle accidents are caused when drivers use cell phones or engage in other distractions behind the wheel. Drivers who do not fully pay attention to the road or engage in other activities while driving may fail to notice bicycles, and they may be unable to respond in time to avoid striking and injuring a bicyclist.
• Dooring - A bicycle accident may also be caused by a driver or passenger opening the door of their parked vehicle into the path of an oncoming bicycle. This type of crash can result in serious injuries for a bicyclist who is knocked off of their bike, especially if they land in the path of other vehicles.
