Determining Fault in Bicycle Accident Claims

Victims of preventable injuries have the right to seek a financial recovery of their damages from at-fault parties. By filing a civil personal injury lawsuit, victims have an opportunity to prove their damages were caused by the negligent or wrongful acts of another. 

Because bicycle accidents have many potential causes, victims may seek compensation from:

In the state of California, motorists (which includes automobile drivers and bicyclists) are obligated to use “reasonable care” when operating their vehicles. In the event of a traffic collision, a party (or multiple parties) may be held liable for resulting damages if they failed to uphold their duty of using reasonable care to avoid the crash. This is known as a breach of duty.

A breach of duty commonly results from negligence, such as:

  • A traffic violation (i.e. running a red light, failure to yield, unsafe lane change)
  • Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs
  • Failing to comply with trucking regulations (i.e. properly licensed and certified drivers, cargo securement requirements, or hours-of-service rules)
  • Failing to keep roads or walkways free from potential hazards that can foreseeably cause harm

At Drake Law Firm, we know determining fault and building a strong claim requires extensive investigation and meticulous attention to detail. It’s why we work with experts, medical professionals and investigators to determine what happened and who was responsible, and why we take a team approach to evaluating available insurance coverage and how best to pursue the maximum compensation possible.

Fighting for Your Damages After a Bicycle Crash

Though victims injured by the negligence of others have a right to recover their damages, all victims must understand that they cannot expect to be treated fairly by insurance companies that represent policyholders in these cases. 

As corporations that care more about profits than people, insurers are quick to dispute and deny victims’ claims, and take every opportunity to underpay them. For these reasons, fighting for a full and fair recovery demands the attention of experienced lawyers who have the resources to fight back.

While every case is unique, recoverable damages in bicycle accident cases can cover:

  • Past and future medical expenses
  • Rehabilitation, medical devices, and medications
  • Lost wages and lost future earnings
  • Physical pain and suffering
  • Emotional and psychological trauma
  • Lost quality of life

At Drake Law Firm, our team is diligent in evaluating just how extensively accidents and injuries impacted our clients’ lives. In addition to calculating the financial toll of our clients’ losses, we also take the time to understand their emotional suffering, and work with medical experts to determine whether they are likely to face any future expenses associated with the need to treat or live with their injuries.
