The Dangers of Bicycling in Aliso Viejo

Given its location in the San Joaquin Hills of Orange County, there are many potentially dangerous and hilly roads for bicyclists in Aliso Viejo. Motorists in Aliso Viejo must remain diligent and attentive to avoid striking bicyclists when traveling on roadways with tight turns and steep elevations. Many Orange County bicycle accidents involve motorists who simply fail to look for bicyclists when entering traffic, changing lanes or when making a turn at an intersection.

Dangerous Aliso Viejo Roadways

Some of the most dangerous roadways for bike riders in Aliso Viejo include Aliso Viejo Parkway, Moulton Parkway, Pacific Park and Aliso Creek Road. Traffic can get particularly congested during rush hour near Enterprise because of the office buildings at that location. These roadways can get congested particularly during the peak hours when people are getting in to work or leaving work.

Bicycle accidents may also occur along the city's many bike trails. On the afternoon of March 10, 2012, a bicyclist lost control and crashed while riding near the corner of Wood Canyon Trail and Awma Road. This particular area has a number of trails that can prove treacherous for bicyclists. On March 15, 2011, another 45-year-old bicyclist was injured along an Aliso Viejo trail when he went over his handlebars and suffered head and shoulder injuries.

In cases involving dangerous roadways, the governing agency responsible for maintaining the roadway such as the city or county can be held liable for injuries and damages. Under California Government Code Section 911.2, any personal injury claim against a governmental entity must be filed within 180 days of the incident.

It is common for bike riders to sustain traumatic brain injuries, neck injuries, shoulder injuries and broken bones. Victims of Aliso Viejo bicycle accidents have the right to pursue financial compensation for their considerable losses particularly if someone else's negligence caused or contributed to the accident. Injured bicyclists can seek compensation to cover medical expenses, lost wages, cost of hospitalization, rehabilitation, pain and suffering and emotional distress.
