LA Mayor Injured in Culver City Bicycle Accident

A bicycle accident in Culver City resulted in the injury of the mayor.  A taxi cut of the cyclist in the bike lane and knocked him off of his bike.  The LA mayor hit his head and broke his arm in several places.  He had to under go surgery for his elbow injuries and he raved about the importance of wearing a helmet while bicycling.  The mayor could have sustained a fatal head injury had he not been wearing his helmet, but sadly he still suffered rather serious injuries to his arm.

This bicycle accident and many others make it clear that lanes for cyclists need to be improved upon and made safer.  Many bicycle riders use side walks and walk ways as bike trails because of the dangers presented with using designated bike lanes.  Often times in down town Los Angeles cars are parked in the bike lane or speeding cars are racing past and switching lanes to get around other drivers.

The size and placement of bike lanes are just one concern for bicyclist in Culver City and throughout Los Angeles.  A major issue is that of driver conduct; namely the reckless driving that places so many bicyclists in danger.  Negligence in driving can cause horrible Los Angeles bicycle accidents.  If you have suffered an injury of any kind due to negligent driving you should seek the advice of a lawyer today.
