· Getting Your Proper Medical Attention And Formulating Your Case: Your personal injury attorney will have many connections throughout a whole variety of industries, which can go a long way in ensuring a speedy recovery from your injuries. Your attorney will also work directly with specialists to provide your claim with the evidence that it needs to prove how the at-fault party’s negligence caused the accident and your subsequent damages. If your claim needs to go to court, then you’ll need an experienced trial lawyer that has a track record of obtaining high settlement amounts.
The vast majority of bicycle accidents in Beverly Hills CA will entail a collision between a motor vehicle and a bicycle, and these accidents will many times result in people suffering from rather serious injuries.
Some of the common causes of bicycle accidents throughout all of Los Angeles include the following:
There are many bike lanes throughout Beverly Hills, and it’s unfortunate how countless motorists will simply forget about bikes in these lanes when they’re turning at an intersection. Because most vehicles won’t even see bicycle riders in these scenarios, they’ll end up colliding with the cyclist with enough force to cause injuries.
It’s important to note that the motorist is likely to be at fault in this scenario, but this depends upon whether or not the cyclist was abiding by the rules of the roadway.
“Left cross” bicycle accidents happen when a motorist and a bicyclist approach each other at an intersection in different directions, and then the motor vehicle driver turns into the cyclist that may be waiting in the middle of the intersection.
This type of accident scenario will typically occur when cars simply don’t see a bicycle rider, or misjudge how quickly they will leave the intersection.
A lot of bicycle accidents occur at an intersection in which a cyclist doesn’t have a stop sign and a motorist does. What typically would happen is that the bicycle rider would be free to move through the intersection, but if the motorist fails to stop it can lead to a collision that’s very difficult to avoid.
In this bike accident situation, the cyclist would have the right of way and the motorist would be considered at fault.
There are many scenarios in which people will park their car and then open their car door without looking, and this can be particularly problematic when they park one of the many streets in Los Angeles that have a bike lane. When a bike accident occurs due to a driver opening their car door in front of an oncoming cyclist, it’s the driver’s fault.
Even the slightest force from behind a bicycle can cause them to completely lose control, and this can subsequently lead to serious injuries and a whole array of damages. Although this type of bicycle accident occurs throughout all hours of the day, it’s more likely to occur at night.
