Southern California Bicycle Accident Lawyers

Bicycle accidents resulting in wrongful death account for approximately three percent of all traffic fatalities. Over 50,000 riders have been killed in bicycle accidents in the United States over the last 75 years. Despite the advances in safety equipment, cases involving catastrophic injuries to cyclists continue to be a problem.

Bicycle accidents sometimes occur because of defective equipment or roadways, but more often occur because drivers of motor vehicles are not paying attention to the cyclists sharing the road. Drivers often ignore the bicyclist’s right of way or unlawfully enter a protected bicycle lane. Even when cyclists are extremely careful, bicycle accidents still occur—often ending catastrophically.

Special investigation considerations must be taken if the accident occurred at night or if there were no witnesses. Prejudices often exist with police officers and the motor vehicle driving public against cyclists. To deal with these prejudices and special investigations it is important to contact an auto accident lawyer in California who has extensive experience dealing with bicycle equipment, experts and bicycle accident litigation.
