The Need for a Bicycle Injury Attorney

While bicycles are an eco-friendly, convenient, and economical mode of transportation, it is at a higher risk of getting into road accidents that lead to injuries and wrongful death. Due to its nature, there may be unique and complex challenges in handling bicycle accident cases, such as:

• Increased vulnerability: Due to lack of protective barriers, bicyclists are automatically more vulnerable than other motorists on the road. Determining the impact and extent of the injuries is important for an agreeable settlement.

• Shared fault: Evaluating the degree of fault of both parties (i.e., the bicyclist and the other party involved) is difficult but is crucial in determining the compensation the injured bicyclist should get.

• Limited evidence: Obtaining evidence to create an accurate narrative of the accident may be challenging because bicycles do not usually have dash cams and other advanced technologies. 

• Bias and misconceptions: Some law enforcers, insurance adjusters, and jurors may be influenced by their biases and misconceptions about cyclists’ behavior on the road, affecting the outcome of the case.

• Lack of awareness: Some roads make it difficult for drivers to notice bike riders. This may lead to accidents such as motorists failing to yield, making turns, or opening car doors without checking for incoming cyclists.

Explore the legal options available to you to help you seek fair compensation for the injuries you got from a bike accident from your insurance company or that of the other party involved and at fault for the accident. A specialized legal representation can help you with that. 

Areas of Specialization

Hit-and-Run Bicycle Accidents

Hit-and-run bicycle accidents happen when the driver of the motor vehicle involved in a collision with the cyclist flees the scene without attending to the other party or exchanging information. A specialized legal representative from Frantz Law Group can help navigate this situation by helping identify the driver at fault to seek compensation for the damages and cover the expenses for any medical treatment that may be warranted. 

Accidents Caused by Distracted Drivers

Distracted driving, which happens when drivers lose their focus on the road when they engage in activities like talking on the phone, texting, adjusting the car stereo, etc., has become the leading cause of car accidents in California, with over 100,000 cases in 2019. To protect the rights of cyclists and ensure that they are compensated fairly for injuries caused by negligent drivers, good legal representation may be necessary.   

Accidents Due to Poor Road Conditions

Poor road conditions pose significant hazards for cyclists. Lack of proper bike lanes, uneven surfaces, road debris, and potholes can cause cyclists to lose control and balance, and consequently collide with other vehicles. Because it is an urban planning issue, there is a need to urge authorities to prioritize road maintenance and invest in cyclist-friendly infrastructure for the safety of motorists. Frantz Law Group can help provide expert legal representation by advocating for accountability in bicycle crash accidents caused by poor road conditions.

Accidents Involving Commercial Vehicles

Bike accidents involving commercial vehicles may result in severe injuries and even fatalities due to the size and weight disparity between the two. Among some of the serious injuries that bicycle riders incur are broken bones, head injuries, traumatic brain injuries, or spinal cord injuries. It is crucial to have legal representation to pursue claims against commercial entities, hold them accountable, and secure fair compensation for damages.

Bicycle Equipment Failure Cases

Mechanical issues, such as tire blowouts, defective parts, and brake failures, can lead to accidents and injuries due to bicycle equipment failure. Seeking specialized legal representation can help determine liability–whether it is due to the quality of bike components or the injured cyclist’s negligence for lack of regular maintenance. Claims against manufacturers or cycling shops can be pursued and sought to compensate for injuries and losses.
