Long Beach Personal Injury Lawyers

California Bicycle Accidents

Bicycles provide a main source of transportation for many individuals in Long Beach, due in part to the pleasant climate in California.  Whether it’s for exercise, leisure, sport, or just to get from point A to point B, bicycles are wonderful options.  The only downfall of riding bicycles is that you face an increased risk of danger, especially when you ride in areas where there is heavy traffic from motor vehicles.  Even with the implementation of bike lanes, which were created to give bicyclists a separate lane in which to ride, cars, trucks, SUVs, buses, and motorcycles wreck into bicycles every day. 

When a bicyclist is injured in an accident, the resulting injuries most often are very serious.  People riding bicycles have nothing to shield them from the road or other vehicles, and with the exception of helmets there is very little to protect a bicyclist in the event of an accident.  Serious & fatal injuries occur very frequently in bicycle accidents, and in these cases the victim may require extensive medical treatment which can become very costly, especially if the person has no insurance.  Medical bills have been known to force many people into filing bankruptcy, and in situations where the victim has no insurance it is especially important for an attorney to take legal action to obtain compensation from the responsible party to cover things like medical expenses.
