Los Angeles Bicycle Accident Attorney

Bicycle riders who use public streets of Los Angeles have the same rights and responsibilities as automobile drivers and are subject to the same rules and regulations as any other vehicle on the road. Each year over one hundred people in California are killed and hundreds of thousands more suffer personal injury from bicycle collisions. Even in a minor collision with a motor vehicle, bicycle riders generally suffer a great deal of injury.

In many cases, motor vehicles hitting bicycle riders are negligent. Drivers fail to stop at an intersection; fail to notice a bicycle on a bike lane and hitting from the side; following too closely to a bicycle rider and rear ending the person. In any case, a bicycle rider has a great disadvantage because of the fragile nature of the instrument and the level of personal exposure.

Common personal injuries include scratches, cuts, broken bones, spinal chord injuries, brain damage and sometimes death. A bicycle rider who is injured in a collision should call an ambulance and not ride the bicycle back home because riding anymore at that point could exacerbate any injuries to your back and other parts of your body. You must receive a full body checkup at a hospital and receive compensation from the faulty party’s insurance company.

That is where our Los Angeles bicycle accident lawyer comes into play. We will deal with your insurance company and fight for your rights. This can be a brutal process but that is what we do for living and we are good at it. There is no fees for you unless we recover.
