What Are The Common Causes Of Bicycle Accidents?

Your bicycle may be an affordable and
environmentally-friendly way to get around San
Francisco, but it also leaves you at the mercy of
motorists. While the majority of motorists will
drive carefully and be mindful of your
vulnerability, accidents can happen and, when
they do, cyclists tend to come out the worst.
Without the benefit of bumpers and crumple zones,
you stand little chance against a metal,
motorized vehicle in a collision.
If you have been injured in a San Francisco
bicycle accident, an Allegiance Law attorney
could help you to recover the compensation you
are entitled to, in respect of your injuries and
any resulting damage to your property. Where a
motorist has acted negligently, you may have an
additional claim for compensation.
