Bicycle Accident Lawyer Huntington Beach, California

Bicycles are immensely popular in Huntington Beach. Many residents ride their bikes solely for pleasure and exercise, while others use them as an alternative means of transportation. Unfortunately, cyclists are vulnerable and confront many dangers on the road. Reckless drivers and motorists who are not good at sharing the road with bikes usually leave them suffering severe and potentially life-threatening injuries. That is why dedicated Huntington Beach bicycle accident attorneys at Setareh Law are here to help you hold those at fault accountable for your damages. We handle every case on a contingency fee basis. We also speak Spanish.

Why Are Bicycle Accidents Common in Huntington Beach?

Many drivers fail to respect the rights of cyclists, potentially causing devastating accidents. Since bicycles are smaller and harder to see, even a few seconds of distraction could lead to disastrous crashes. Some of the common ways bicycle accidents occur in Huntington Beach include left-turn collisions, collisions at intersections, collisions with doors, right-hand turn collisions, and dangerous driving including overspeeding, intoxicated driving, and distracted driving. While most bicycle accidents are preventable, even the most cautious cyclists can be involved in dangerous crashes. Working with our skilled bike crash attorneys can help you fight for maximum compensation.

Determining Liability In a Huntington Beach Bike Accident

A bike accident victim will be required to identify the liable party and prove that they owed them a duty of care. It is also necessary to show that the liable party breached this duty of care, leading to their injuries. Common negligent parties in a bike crash include the driver who crashed into the bicyclists or forced them off the road; government entities when dangerous road conditions caused the accident; bike manufacturers who sell defective bicycles or bicycle parts; vehicle owners; negligent vehicle manufacturers; and other negligent cyclists or pedestrians. The attorneys at Setareh Law have extensive professional experience handling complex bicycle crashes.

What to Do After a Bicycle Accident in Huntington Beach

After a bicycle crash, it is first important to get medical attention immediately. If you are in a position to do so, stay calm and contact the police, identify witnesses, document the accident by taking photos of the accident scene, your injuries, and the damage to your bike and the vehicles involved, and request personal information from the offending driver. After prioritizing your health, your next step should be to contact our Huntington Beach bike accident lawyers. Our team will take over the investigation of your accident, assess your injuries, analyze the evidence, and determine liability.

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.
