Bicycle Accident Injury Lawyers
Cyclists share the road with drivers, but accidents often occur when motorists speed, drive distracted, or fail to yield. Poor visibility, unsafe road conditions, and inadequate bike lanes also increase risk. Alcohol or drug use by drivers or cyclists is a major factor in many crashes.
Common Injuries
Bicycle accidents can cause:
- Head and brain injuries
- Broken bones
- Spinal cord injuries
- Paralysis
- Severe cuts and abrasions
Medical care after an accident can be expensive. Wearing a helmet and following safety guidelines can help reduce risk.
What to Do After an Accident
- Get medical attention immediately
- Call 911 and request a police report
- Collect driver and witness information
- Document the scene with notes and photos
- Avoid admitting fault
California law allows injured cyclists to recover damages even if partially at fault. Most claims must be filed within two years, but some cases have shorter deadlines.
Recoverable Damages
Victims may seek compensation for:
- Medical expenses
- Lost income
- Pain and suffering
- Property damage
Why Legal Help Matters
Insurance companies often try to minimize payouts. An experienced attorney can protect your rights and help you pursue fair compensation.
