Sacramento & Folsom Bicycle Accident Lawyer
Sacramento has one of the most extensive cycling networks in California — including the famous American River Bike Trail. Yet cyclists remain among the most vulnerable road users. California law requires drivers to give cyclists at least 3 feet of clearance. When drivers violate this law and cause injury, they are fully liable.
Common Bicycle Accident Scenarios
- "Dooring" — driver opening car door into a cyclist's path
- Left-turn collisions — driver turning across the cyclist's path
- Right-hook accidents at intersections
- Rear-end collisions by distracted or speeding drivers
- Road hazard crashes — potholes, debris, defective surfaces
