Bicycle Accidents in California
Motor vehicle crashes are often devastating. This is particularly true when bicyclists are involved. Bicyclists are very vulnerable and more likely to suffer severe injuries as a result of crashes. This is especially true when drivers are traveling at a high rate of speed or traveling in large SUVs or commercial trucks. Bicyclists, like pedestrians, are likely to suffer severe trauma to the head, severe spinal cord fractures, and even compound fractures.
The unfortunate truth is that bicycle accidents are often devastating. The consequences are far-reaching and have an overwhelming impact on the lives of victims. If you have the unfortunate experience of being hurt as a result of a bicycle accident, you should reach out to a bicycle accident lawyer immediately. You may be able to file a claim for compensation against the driver who is responsible.
It is important that you understand that even if you share part of the fault for the accident, you may still be able to recover financial compensation.
