There are several ways in which a negligent driver can cause an accident with a bicyclist:

• Driving under the influence
• Failure to use turn signals
• Not leaving enough space for cyclists on the shoulder of the road
• Opening a car door as a cyclist is approaching the vehicle
• Running red lights
• Running stop signs

• Bone fractures
• Contusions and lacerations
• Spinal cord injury and paralysis
• Death
