Los Angeles Bicycle Accident Injury Attorneys

Los Angeles bicycle crashes very often involve terrible, catastrophic injuries and death.  Our Los Angeles bicycle accident attorneys understand cyclists’ rights and the unique issues surrounding bicycle accident cases. We have over 70 years experience defending victims of bicycle accidents, including those involving automobile accidents, truck accidents, pedestrian accidents, motorcycle accidents, stationary objects or other bicycles. We understand the importance of recovering maximum compensation after a traumatic bicycle accident.  In addition to medical bills, we can help you recover the maximum damages for rehabilitation, lost wages and pain and suffering.

Founding partner Mike Bomberger of Estey & Bomberger, LLP knows first hand the realities of cycling and sharing the road with negligent motorists. An avid cyclist for over 10 years, he has put thousands of miles on his own bike. He also has appeared on local news programs and commentated on accidents involving serious and fatal cycling injuries. 

Common types of bicycle crash injuries include:

  • Head Injuries include skull fractures, closed head injuries and traumatic brain injuries. These are especially serious if the cyclist was not wearing a helmet or the helmet was not properly fastened.
  • Neck Injuries
  • Spinal Cord Injuries including paraplegia and quadriplegia may require long-term care for the rest of a victim’s life.
  • Road rash (bits of asphalt and gravel embedded in the victim’s skin) can pose serious risk of infection. Road rash can also leave a victim permanently scarred and disfigured.
  • Eye injuries
  • Back injuries
  • Loss of limbs / amputation
  • Broken Bones
  • Orthopedic injuries
  • Abrasions, cuts and scars

Recovery from bicycle injuries may involve a lengthy hospital stay, extensive physical therapy, frequent physician appointments and other permanent, expensive modifications to normal live. While recovery may seem daunting and overwhelming, Los Angeles cycling crash lawyers at Estey & Bomberger, LLP can help you recover financially so that you can focus on a physical recovery.

Collisions involving a cyclist and a motor vehicle are responsible for the most serious injuries and the most fatalities.  Additionally, specific parts of the bicycle can contribute to various injuries:

Spokes: Bicycle spokes can injure lower extremities, especially when the foot of a child riding behind the bicycle gets caught between the moving spokes and the bicycle frame.

Seat: If a cyclist crashes, the bicycle seat and frame can contribute to genital injuries.

Handlebars: Unpadded handlebars can rupture a liver or spleen and cause serious injuries to abdominal and pelvic organs.

Common types of bicycle accidents involving serious or fatal injuries include:

  • Drivers knocking cyclists off a roadway
  • Failure to yield to a cyclist’s right-of-way
  • Broad-siding a cyclist at an intersection
  • Bicycle crashes as a result of brake failure or other defective cycling products
  • Motorists not anticipating a cyclists’ speed
  • Unsafe riding conditions

Even if you were not directly hit by a car, you may still be able to recover damages for a crash.  For example, you may be seriously injured by crashing into a stationary object, such as a tree, in the course of attempting to avoid being hit by a car.
