Riverside Bicycle Accident Lawyer
A bicycle accident can occur at any given time, and all it takes is one serious mistake, reckless move or negligent action on the part of a motor vehicle driver. Unfortunately, many bicyclists involved in accidents suffer very severe injuries that can lead to death even if treated immediately. Bicyclists who survive accidents may require around the clock medical attention and may be limited to a wheelchair or bed for the rest of their life due to the fact that a motor vehicle is no match for a human body. Bicyclists can sustain the following types of injuries during an accident:
- Brain Injuries
- Disfigurement
- Burn Injuries
- Head Trauma
- Neck Injuries
- Spinal Cord Damage
- Nerve Damage
- Back Injuries
- Loss of Limb(s)
- Broken Bones
- Lacerations
- Bruises
- Fractures
- Road Rash
- Coma
- Disabilities
Many people who are victims of bicycle accidents are often small children, teenagers and recreational bicyclists. Many motorists fail to acknowledge that a bicyclist has just as much a right to be on the roadways as they do. They also often take part in very reckless acts that may include any of the following:
- Turning or pulling out in front of a cyclist
- Failure to follow traffic laws
- Failure to follow traffic signs
- Failure to signal properly
- Speeding
- Reckless driving
- Drunk driving
- DUID (driving under the influence of drugs)
- Driver distraction
- Unsafe lane changes
- Improper Cell phone usage
- Running a red light
In addition to the above, a bicycle accident can also be caused by mechanical malfunctions on the part of a motor vehicle or bicycle manufacturer. In cases such as these, your attorney will fight to hold these parties accountable as well.
