Causes of Bicycle Accidents

Even if you think you know who or what caused your accident, speak with an attorney from our firm. It might surprise you to find another party also bears some responsibility, such as the manufacturer of your bicycle or helmet. An exhaustive investigation from Rosenthal Law could help you determine the identities of all responsible parties.

• Driver error. Running red lights, rolling through stop signs, ignoring rights-of-way, following too closely, opening doors into oncoming cyclists and turning left into bicyclists are just some of the ways negligent drivers can cause bike accidents.
• Roadway defect. Bikers in Folsom are more at risk of injuries from roadway defects than motor vehicle drivers. Defects car tires can roll over, such as potholes, could prove disastrous for cyclists. The City of Folsom could be liable for road defect accidents.
• Vehicle defect. If the motor vehicle or bicycle contained a manufacturing, design or marketing defect that contributed to your injuries, you may have a claim against the vehicle’s manufacturer.

Holding multiple parties accountable for your bicycle accident and serious injuries improves your chances of obtaining fair and full compensation. If the negligent driver does not have adequate insurance, one of the other at-fault parties might be able to offer greater financial recovery.

Common Injuries We Represent

Our bicycle accident lawyers exclusively accept personal injury cases throughout California. We have extensive experience and knowledge of all types of personal injuries, including severe injuries from bike accidents. Our law office can help you or a loved one after you suffered multiple bone fractures, a traumatic brain injury, spine injury, internal organ damage, road rash, contusions, muscle sprains and strains, or other injuries.

Do Not Miss Your Deadline to File

In California, a law called a statute of limitations gives you just two years from the date your bicycle accident occurred to file a personal injury lawsuit in the Folsom courts. Do not miss this deadline, as that could eliminate any right you might have had to compensation. Note that you must initiate an insurance claim much sooner – typically within 72 hours of the accident. If you want to bring a defendant to court, however, you have two years.
