Aggressive Los Angeles Bicycle Accident Attorneys
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that 773 bicyclists died in bicycle accidents across the country in 2007 and around 44,000 people experienced injuries in collisions with automobiles. That same year, 109 Californians died after cars struck them while they were riding their bikes, and 23 of these fatalities happened right here in Los Angeles County. Bicyclists failing to follow the rules of the road, riding recklessly or engaging in other kinds of risky, negligent behavior caused some of these accidents. However, negligent drivers who violate riders’ rights-of-way, run red lights, drive too fast for conditions, drive drunk and talk and text while driving cause the vast majority of bicycle accidents.
Negligent drivers can and should be held liable for damages. If you want to speak with a Los Angeles bicycle accident lawyer with a proven record of success, call us today at 888-848-5084!
Bicycle Accidents Take a Terrible Toll on Riders and Their Families
The reason so many bicyclists suffer serious injuries and death in accidents is quite obvious: they don’t stand a chance when struck by a vehicle weighing thousands of pounds. Even careful, experienced riders who wear helmets and reflective clothing and ride defensively at all times can be caught off guard by the actions of a negligent driver and suffer serious injuries such as the following:
- Severe concussions
- Brain injuries
- Badly broken bones
- Ruptured internal organs
- Paralysis
- Amputations
- Broken backs
- Crushed limbs
- Other life-changing injuries that require extensive medical care
We take our responsibilities as Los Angeles bicycle accident attorneys very seriously and work hard to ensure that each client receives the maximum possible damages in a court award or settlement. This compensation isn’t about getting even with the at-fault party. It is about ensuring that victims have the financial help necessary to pay medical bills, provide for their families while their injuries prevent them from working and receive the ongoing care they need to recover.
