Common Causes of Bicycle Accidents
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), last year traffic collisions resulted in 49,000 bicyclists sustaining injuries and 726 bicyclist fatalities.
Below are some of the most common causes of bicycle accidents:
- Distracted driving: Whether using a cell phone or simply zoning out, any time a driver is distracted while operating a motor vehicle, it puts others at risk of injury. Similarly, bicyclists must always pay attention while riding. Never use a cell phone for any purpose or otherwise multitask while riding a bicycle.
- Speeding: Driving over the speed limit drastically increases the distance required to safely stop on time. If a motorist rear-ends a bicyclist due to speeding and failing to stop on time, the results can be deadly.
- Opening doors: Bicyclists must never ride immediately beside a line of parked cars. Parked vehicle doors can be opened unexpectantly, resulting in “dooring” accidents and injuries to bicyclists.
- Inclement weather: If weather conditions are poor, bicyclists should consider waiting for them to improve before hitting the road. Poor visibility or slippery roads can easily create disastrous results.
Common Bicycle Accident Injuries
Depending on the speed of the vehicle and location of impact, bicyclist injuries can potentially be severe, life-altering, or even fatal.
Below are some of the most common types of bicycle accident injuries:
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Fractured bones
- Spinal cord injuries
- Facial injuries
- Ruptured discs
- Neurological damage
- Severe contusions and lacerations
Many of these injuries can have a lasting impact on a victim’s health and, as a result, some often need continued medical care to manage pain and disability caused by their injuries.

Ted McNabola is an amazing attorney! He handled my mom’s case after she was hit by a car as a pedestrian. The difference between Ted and other attorneys is that he never gave up! It was a long process of 3 years but when other attorney’s would have given up just to make some money on the case, Ted refused to do so!! In the end he got my mother EVERYTHING she was asking for! Thank you Ted for never giving up!!!!- Kat J.
