Cycle Crashes Caused by Failure to Yield the Right of Way
San Francisco Biker Injury Attorneys
Motorcycles, motor scooters and bicycles have the same right of way that cars do. They have a right to use an entire lane, and motorcycles have a right to ride between lanes (called lane splitting).
Sometimes other motorists don’t seem to understand or honor these rights and they fail to yield the right of way.
If you were injured by a negligent driver, or your loved one was killed when a car or truck failed to yield, contact the injury lawyers at the Dolan Law Firm.
Injuries Caused by the Failure of Cars and Trucks to Yield the Right of Way
Collisions with cars and trucks are the most common type of accident, and the most common cause of these accidents is the other driver’s failure to yield the right of way.
- Sideswiping a motorcycle because the driver didn’t check his or her blind spot can lead to crushed leg injuries and possible loss of a foot
- A car turning in front of a biker without signaling can cause the biker to collide head-on with the car causing head injuries, or to lay the bike down causing road rash, leg and arm fractures, broken hips and pelvis and spinal cord injuries
- Crowding a biker out of his or her lane, causing him or her to run off the road or pushing him or her into oncoming traffic can have deadly results.
When failing to yield the right of way leads to an accident with injuries, the injured biker deserves compensation.
