Get help finding the Right Bike Lane Accident Lawyer for your case
More and more cyclists are populating the roads, especially in warm climate areas like California, to minimize their carbon footprint, get exercise, avoid traffic, etc. There are designated bikes lanes on some roads to help accommodate for the increase in cyclists and to protect them from accidents. While motorists are required to share the road with bicyclists, many bike accidents, including bike lane accidents, still do occur. This may happen if a motor vehicle swerves into the bike lane, crosses a bike lane from a driveway or parking spot, or any other common traffic accident or negligence occurs. Many cyclists do not realize that vehicles taking right turns must merge with the bike lane and turn from the bike lane. This can easily result in a bike lane accident for those that are not aware of this law.
Bicyclists may be harder for motorists to see because of their size, speed, and blind spots. In addition, cyclists are much more exposed and are no match for a motor vehicle. Therefore, bike lane accidents can be severely dangerous for the cyclist. Bike lane accidents can result in many injuries such as broken bones, brain trauma, dismemberment, neck or spine injuries, contusions and lacerations, or even death. The livelihood of the injured cyclist may be drastically affected, causing them to face large medical bills, loss of job, loss of wages, mental distress, etc.
If you have been in a bike lane accident, an experienced personal injury attorney can help you recover your damages. Whether the bike lane accident was truly an accident or whether the motorist was negligent causing them to crash into you, you may be able to file a lawsuit against the driver. A personal injury attorney will help you build a strong case to prove negligence and to help you receive fair compensation for your medical expenses, suffering and pain, lost wages, or any other damages you have faced because of your bike lane accident. In the case of wrongful death by a bike lane accident, an attorney can help the surviving family achieve justice and necessary compensation for funeral costs, etc.
