Steps to Take After Your Fontana Bicycle Accident

Immediately after a bicycle accident, prioritize health and safety. First, seek medical attention, even if you feel fine, as some injuries may remain hidden. If you’re able to, document the scene by taking photographs, gathering witness information, and noting incident details. Once you have ensured your well-being and documented the accident, contact a Fontana bicycle accident attorney to discuss your legal options. Until you secure legal representation, avoid discussing the accident with insurance companies or others. Insurance companies may attempt to minimize claims, and you want to avoid any accidental admissions of fault.

Common Bicycle Accident Injuries

Bicycle accidents can lead to various injuries, some severe and life-altering. Common injuries include fractures, head trauma, road rash, and soft tissue injuries. These injuries often require extensive medical treatment, rehabilitation, and sometimes long-term care. Beyond physical injuries, emotional and psychological trauma may arise from a bicycle accident. Victims may experience anxiety, depression, or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), requiring mental health treatment.

Potentially Recoverable Compensation After a Bicycle Accident

Economic Damages

Economic damages refer to measurable financial losses resulting from a bicycle accident. These damages can include immediate medical expenses, ongoing treatment costs, and lost wages due to missed work. Your bicycle accident attorney will calculate these losses and present them as part of your claim.

Non-Economic Damages

Non-economic damages address intangible harms such as pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of companionship. These damages often prove more challenging to quantify, as they pertain to the emotional and psychological impact of the accident on your life.

Wrongful Death Damages

In tragic cases where a bicycle accident results in loss of life, surviving family members may pursue wrongful death damages to compensate the family for financial and emotional losses.

Frequently
Asked Questions

If you, a family member or a friend has suffered a personal injury, contact us today at 310-659-1826 for a free case evaluation. Our experienced team can evaluate the facts of your case, discuss the viable avenues for compensation recovery, and serve as your counsel throughout the personal injury claims process.

Can I file a personal injury claim if I was hit by a car while riding my bike?

Yes. If a motorist's negligence caused your accident, you have the right to pursue compensation for your injuries, medical costs, lost wages, and more. Cyclists are entitled to the same legal protections as any other road user.

What should I do after a bicycle accident?

Call 911, get medical attention, and document the scene with photos if possible. Gather the driver's contact and insurance information, speak with any witnesses, and keep records of all injuries and expenses. Reaching out to an attorney early helps protect your claim.

Do I have to be wearing a helmet for my claim to be valid?

California law requires cyclists under the age of 18 to wear a helmet, but not adults. However, if you were not wearing a helmet and sustained a head injury, the defense may argue that this contributed to the severity of your injuries, which could affect your damages. An attorney can help address these arguments.

What if the accident happened because of a road defect?

If a pothole, debris, missing signage, or other road hazard caused or contributed to your accident, a government entity may be liable. These claims have shorter deadlines under California law, so acting quickly is critical.

What types of injuries are common in bicycle accidents?

Cyclists are highly vulnerable in collisions with vehicles. Common injuries include road rash, broken bones, head injuries, facial trauma, shoulder and wrist injuries, and, in severe cases, spinal cord damage or traumatic brain injury.

Can I pursue a claim if the driver fled the scene?

Yes. Your own uninsured motorist coverage may cover hit-and-run accidents, even as a cyclist. California law allows bicycle riders to access uninsured motorist benefits under certain conditions. An attorney can help determine what coverage applies to your situation.

What if a car door was suddenly opened in my path?

This is called a "dooring" accident, and it is one of the most common hazards cyclists face. The driver or passenger who opened the door without checking for oncoming cyclists may be held liable for the resulting injuries.

How is compensation determined for a bicycle accident?

Compensation depends on the severity of your injuries, your medical expenses, the income you lost while recovering, future treatment needs, and the impact the accident has had on your daily life. Our attorneys work to ensure every element of your harm is accounted for.
