BICYCLE ACCIDENT LAWYER CANADA
On average someone is killed every day whilst riding a bike on Canada’s roads with about 10,000 injured including more than 1,000 who suffer serious injury. A bicycle accident lawyer must be familiar with the particular difficulties facing cyclists on the road every day in order to be able to prove his case in negligence. Bicycle accidents usually fall into three categories:
- Collisions with other vehicles or loss of control when trying to avoid a collision
- Potholes, protrusions or defective road surfaces from wear or negligent repair
- Spilled debris including liquids on the highway
Road traffic accident statistics show that about 5% of all serious injuries including fatalities involve cyclists. The majority of these accidents occur during daylight and involve a collision with a car near or close to a junction. The most common accident circumstances include:
- failure to heed give way signs at a junction by cyclist
- young or inexperienced rider falling off
- motor vehicle failing to give way at a junction
- turning right after emerging from a driveway or entrance
- riding into the path of a motor vehicle particularly when riding off a pavement
- being struck from behind whilst on a straight, fast road
- rider turning right across a road without heeding the presence of other traffic
- rider and motorist both going straight ahead at a junction
- motorist turning or emerging into path of the rider from a standstill
- rider overtaking and being hit from behind
