More and more people are choosing to ride bicycles because they offer a healthy, inexpensive, and environmentally friendly alternative to driving a car or taking public transportation. Unfortunately, riding a bicycle while sharing the roadways with motor vehicles can be dangerous, as bicycle accident injuries occur at an alarming rate: according to National Highway Traffic Safety Administration statistics, over 40,000 Americans are injured and over 700 people lose their lives in bicycle accidents each year. At The Robert Law Firm's Santa Ana and Orange County-area office, our bicycle accident lawyers represent victims and ensure that they receive the fair compensation they need so they can focus on recovery.
When accidents involving bicycles and automobiles occur, bicyclists are extremely vulnerable to serious personal injury, even if they are wearing helmets. No matter how fast a motor vehicle is traveling at the time of impact, bicycle accidents can cause a variety of injuries. Some of the most common injuries resulting from bicycle accidents include:
Victims of bicycle accidents must establish that their injuries are the result of the driver’s negligence in order to be eligible for compensation for their losses and expenses. In order to accomplish this, if you are injured in a bicycle accident, you should obtain the names and numbers of all parties involved in the accident as well as any witnesses, file a police report, and contact The Robert Law Firm's Santa Ana and Orange County-area bicycle accident lawyers as soon as possible.
Driver negligence is one of the top causes of bicycle accidents involving motor vehicles. Because bicycles offer relatively little protection, motor vehicle operators have an obligation to share the road responsibly. When a driver fails to live up to that responsibility and acts negligently, bicycle accidents and serious injuries can easily occur. Common examples of driver negligence include:
Victims of bicycle accidents that are the result of a driver’s negligence or wrongdoing may be entitled to damages, including compensation for past and future medical expenses, loss of income, and pain and suffering. In addition, victims of bicycle accidents may be entitled to punitive damages if the driver’s conduct is deemed to be excessively negligent.
