A bicycle accident may be caused by negligence on the part of a motorist, bad weather, poor road design, or a defective product. Negligence is the most common cause of bicycle accidents. A distracted driver, person who is speeding or a drunk driver may cause an auto accident involving a bicycle, putting numerous lives at risk. The person who will be at greatest risk of injury or death will be the rider of the bicycle, because he or she is virtually unprotected in the event of a collision with an object the size and weight of a standard passenger car, SUV or truck.
