San Francisco Bicycle Accident Lawyer

Contact A Skilled Bicycle Accident Lawyer With A Proven Track Record

Bicycle riders suffer a staggering number of serious injuries and fatalities in accidents involving motor vehicles, and those accidents are usually the fault of the motor vehicle drivers. In 2008, according to the NHTSA, 52,000 bicyclists were injured in traffic accidents in the United States and 716 were killed. As bike riders know all too well, drivers of cars and trucks usually do not pay adequate attention to their surroundings, do not respect the rights of cyclists, and do not look for cyclists before making moves that can endanger their lives. All too often, bike riders are injured or killed by motorists who fail to check their blind spot before changing lanes, make right turns directly in front of oncoming bicyclists, open doors in front of oncoming bicyclists, sideswipe them traveling on the shoulder, drive under the influence of alcohol or drugs, fail to stop at stop signs, pull out from driveways or side streets without looking, or otherwise proceed in a manner which risks the lives of cyclists. Most motorists are in fact ignorant of the California laws which protect bicyclists and give them the same rights to use the streets as motorists.

When involved in an accident while riding or walking their bicycles, California bicyclists have the same right to seek compensation as motorists. The Law Office of Daniel H.

Why you need a bike accident attorney

Many injured people believe that injury claim resolution is something they can easily handle without hiring a qualified bicycle accident lawyer, and they attempt to negotiate directly with insurance companies. This is not advisable. Insurance companies are in the business of collecting premiums and paying out as little as possible for claims. If a victim is not represented by a qualified bike accident attorney, an insurance company will usually try to settle the claim to the insurance company’s advantage.

Until an injured person hires a personal injury attorney, the insurance company knows that the injured person is not prepared to take his or her case to court. When dealing with accident victims, insurance companies usually pretend at the outset that they want to fairly compensate the victim, but then take advantage of them by taking a recorded statement from the victim, have them examined by their doctors, and otherwise build their case against the victim, and end up offering an unfairly low settlement amount. Avoid this scenario by contacting a bicycle accident attorney at a qualified personal injury law firm. If you do talk to the insurance company, do not allow yourself to be recorded. It is best to leave all communications to an experienced bicycle injury lawyer.
