Determining Fault
Common Bicycle Crash Injuries
Cyclists experience two main types of crashes: falls and collisions with motor vehicles. While falls are the most common kind of bicycle crash, motor vehicle collisions are the most serious. According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety:
- 961 bicyclists were killed in motor vehicle collisions in 2021
- 90% of deaths were among people 20 years old and above
For crashes involving a bicycle and car, the most common forms of injuries are head traumas. Head injuries result in the most amount of deaths, indicating the importance of wearing a helmet. The greatest number of injuries occurred between the hours of 6 a.m. to midnight. Other injuries include:
- Broken, shattered, or fractured bones
- Cuts, gashes, and open wounds
- Soft tissue injuries (torn ligaments, tendons, and muscles)
- Neck, back, and spinal cord injuries
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Internal organ damage
- Burns
- Road rash
In the most severe cases, a bicycle-car accident can result in death. Most cyclist deaths (65%) occur at non-intersections including the open road or residential areas. The other 35% of deaths can be attributed to reckless driving at intersections.

Staying Safe on the Road
The NHTSA urges cyclists to cycle predictably when on the road. Cyclists should move in the same direction as traffic, obey street signs, signals and road markings, and avoid or minimize sidewalk riding. Motorists should always be aware of cyclists on the road, yield to cyclists as they would other motorists, and give cyclists plenty of room by not passing too closely.
Cyclists and motorists are both responsible for following the rules of the road. Remaining careful and alert can help decrease bicycle-automobile collisions.
