Sacramento Bicycle Accident Attorney

Providing Bicycle Accident Attorney Services in Sacramento, Roseville, Rocklin, Lincoln, Granite Bay, Folsom and throughout California

Northern California, with its beautiful landscapes, is home to dozens of bike trials and bike lanes. Thousands of people ride bikes for recreation on trials or even as a primary mode of transportation on the road. In fact, California leads the nation with more bicyclists than any other state. As the number of bicyclists increases, the number of bicycle accidents involving bikes rises, as well. While bicycles may be a fun and efficient mode of travel, the lack of protection leaves the rider susceptible to severe injuries. Suppose you have been injured while on a bicycle due to the negligence of someone else. In that case, you may be entitled to a financial settlement to compensate you for the pain and suffering.

At Ashley Injury Lawyers, our premier legal team has a decade of experience fighting vigorously for each one of our clients. No bicycle accident case is too large or too small for us to handle. Our personal injury law experience includes recovering thousands of dollars for our clients after a bicycle accident. Because you often deal with insurance companies who want to limit your compensation, it’s vital to hire a skilled personal injury attorney to represent you throughout the arduous legal process.

Causes of Bicycle Accident Injuries

There are many causes of bicycle accidents. A few common examples include:

  • Extreme weather conditions
  • Poor visibility
  • Poor road conditions
  • Reckless motorists
  • Intoxicated drivers

A bicycle injury may result from either the rider or cyclist failing to yield the right-of-way or making an unexpected turn that puts them in the collision path. In some cases, bicycle and vehicle-involved accidents could have been avoided. Both bicycle riders and motorists should have paid more attention to their surroundings and avoided distractions, such as talking on the phone.

Bicycle Accident Injuries

The bicycle injury attorneys at Ashley Injury Lawyers understand that bicyclists need to adhere to traffic laws. Our bicycle accident attorneys believe that extreme caution on the part of bicyclists can be a matter of life or death on the streets of Sacramento and Roseville areas.

Our team also agrees that motorists need to be more aware of increased bicycle traffic in Sacramento and Roseville and surrounding Sacramento and Placer Counties. Bicyclists often suffer the worst kinds of injuries imaginable. Devastating head injuries are not uncommon and make an extreme case for wearing a bicycle helmet without exception. NHTSA reports 70 percent of bicycle deaths to involve traumatic brain injury.

Even cautious bicyclists risk serious injury each time they ride. While a bicycle accident may be no fault of your own, you will be stuck with the mounting hospital bills and inability to work. These personal and financial pressures burn through your savings and place you in a precarious position. In these cases, a settlement from your personal injury lawsuit can be a lifeline. Severe injuries that the bicycle accident attorneys at Ashley Law have seen include:

  • Concussion or TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury)
  • Broken leg
  • Loss of limb
  • Fractured wrist
  • Spinal cord injury

Even if you do not see your injury listed above, you may be entitled to compensation. There is no substitute for a skilled and experienced legal team at your side.

In some states, the driver is always at fault in a car-bicycle accident. However, this is not the case in California. Responsibility rests squarely with the negligent party, and that party is responsible for all damages. “Negligent,” in California law, is defined as “failing to act in a manner expected of a reasonably prudent person acting under similar circumstances.” Suppose you have been injured in a bicycle accident. In that case, you should call the bicycle accident attorneys at Ashley Injury Lawyers to discuss your case and learn about your legal options. We will fight to get you the compensation you deserve.

This will go a long way in helping you cover the costs of damages, including long-term care for life-altering catastrophic injuries or wrongful death.
A personal injury lawsuit is an arduous process without the assistance of a trained legal professional. Don’t wait. Call us now for your free case evaluation at 888-ASHLEY-911 or message us.
