Some of the common reasons for left-hand turn bicycle accidents are cars or trucks that did not see you, the design or layout of the road, distracted drivers who are either texting or under the influence of alcohol, bad lighting and bad weather. In addition, another common reason for left-turn bicycle accidents are sideswipe accidents where a car, truck, or SUV merges into you and knocks you out. This typically takes place when a car, truck, or SUV does not see you because they have not carefully checked their rearview or side mirror before turning, or they do not properly signal before they make a turn.
After being struck on your bicycle while taking a left-hand turn, you may be in for the fight of your life. Taking the steps recommended here may be very hard, if not impossible for you, depending on the extent of your injuries. If you are physically able, this is what you should do, though if you cannot you should have a relative or friend or spouse try to do this.
