Why You Need a Bicycle Accident Lawyer

Being involved in a bicycle accident can be a traumatic experience, and dealing with the aftermath can be overwhelming. That's why it's crucial to have a knowledgeable and experienced bicycle accident lawyer by your side to protect your rights and help you navigate the legal process.

Here are some reasons why hiring a bicycle accident lawyer is essential:

  • Legal expertise: Bicycle accident cases can be complex, involving various laws and regulations. A skilled lawyer specializes in personal injury law and understands the intricacies of these cases.
  • Investigation and evidence gathering: A lawyer will conduct a thorough investigation into your accident, collecting evidence such as witness statements, accident reports, and medical records. This evidence is crucial in building a strong case on your behalf.
  • Negotiating with insurance companies: Dealing with insurance companies can be challenging, as they often try to minimize their payouts. An experienced lawyer will handle all communication with the insurance company, ensuring that your rights are protected and that you receive fair compensation.
  • Maximizing compensation: A bicycle accident lawyer will fight for the maximum compensation you deserve. They will assess the full extent of your damages, including medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and future medical needs, to ensure that you receive adequate compensation for your injuries.
  • Peace of mind: Hiring a lawyer allows you to focus on your recovery while they handle the legal aspects of your case. They will handle all paperwork, deadlines, and negotiations, giving you peace of mind during this challenging time.

Understanding the Causes of Bicycle Accidents

At the Law Offices of Delitala, Inc., we understand that bicycle accidents can have devastating consequences. It is important to be aware of the common causes of bicycle accidents to help prevent them and protect yourself on the road.

Some common causes of bicycle accidents include:

  • Driver negligence: Many bicycle accidents occur due to drivers not paying attention, failing to yield right of way, or violating traffic laws.
  • Dooring: This happens when a driver or passenger opens their car door without checking for oncoming cyclists, causing a collision.
  • Poor road conditions: Uneven pavement, potholes, debris, and other road hazards can lead to accidents for cyclists.
  • Distracted driving: Drivers who are texting, talking on the phone, or otherwise distracted are more likely to cause accidents involving cyclists.
  • Failure to signal: Drivers who fail to use their turn signals or fail to signal their intentions properly can cause accidents with cyclists.

By understanding these causes, you can take steps to protect yourself while riding your bicycle and be more aware of potential dangers on the road.

Riding a bike through the streets of Southern California can be dangerous. Unfortunately, bicycle accidents still occur even when cyclists are obeying bike path rules and regulations.

If you’ve been injured in a bike accident, you should:

  • Take photos of the accident scene.
  • Take photos of property damage, including damage to the bicycle, the bicycle helmet, your clothes, etc.
  • Take photos of the vehicle(s) that struck you.
  • Take photos of your injuries.
  • Call the police and file a police report.
  • Obtain the driver’s insurance information.
