What Causes Bicycle Accidents?
Many bicycle accidents occur because both motorists and cyclists fail to follow the rules and watch out for each other. When drivers do not watch out for cyclists, however, the results can be much worse.
Common causes of bicycle accidents include:
- Unsafe lane changes
- Failure to yield
- Speeding
- Following too closely
- Failing to leave enough space
- Distracted driving
- Driving under the influence
- Drowsy driving
- Aggressive driving
- Reckless driving
- Running red lights and stop signs
- Improper turns
- Intersection accidents
- Dooring
- Poorly maintained roads
- And more
If you have been injured by any of the conditions or behaviors above, our Georgia bicycle accident attorney can help.
Common Bicycle Accident Injuries
Regardless of who is at-fault for your crash, bicyclists get the worst of car-bicycle accidents. Common injuries to bicyclists include:
- Head injuries
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- Eye trauma
- Dental fractures
- Facial injuries
- Broken bones
- Dislocations
- Sprains and sprains
- Musculoskeletal trauma
- Back and shoulder injuries

In addition to physical wear and tear, you may suffer psychological injuries. Bike accidents can cause PTSD and other seemingly invisible conditions that are just as hard to cope with as physical injuries.
