An Attorney Who Stands Up For Injured Bicyclists

Attorney Bryan R. Snyder knows that Southern California is one of the best places in the world to enjoy a bike ride. Whether a pleasurable and relaxing ride to enjoy the scenery or as an environmentally friendly commuting option, bike riding is becoming more and more popular. Unfortunately, as bike riding increases so do bicycle accidents.

Our lawyer knows this is a car town; and while significant progress to accommodate bicycles on roads has been made in recent years, biking can be incredibly dangerous. Cars refuse to share the road, distracted drivers make careless mistakes, and dangerous road conditions can catch innocent bicyclists unaware, often with catastrophic consequences. Attorney Bryan R. Snyder is on your side when your or a loved one has suffered serious injuries due to a bike accident.

Common Causes Of Bicycle Accidents

Motor vehicles and bicycles often share the same road space and streets, but bikes and bike riders face dangers that cars and trucks do not. Some of the unique causes of bike accidents include:

  • Lack of proper road or street maintenance. Potholes and malfunctioning street lighting can turn a simple ride into a perilous journey that can end with a severe injury.
  • Defective parts on the bike itself. If a bicycle has parts that fail to live up to safety standards, or has flaws that contribute to a bike accident, you can sometimes take legal action to recover damages caused by such an oversight.
  • Poor highway or road design. Even though bikes travel many of the same roads as motor vehicles, their designers often fail to understand how different the needs of two-wheeled vehicles are, which causes serious bike injuries or accidents.
  • Negligence on the part of another driver or rider. Drivers often fail to share the road, or they fail to understand the dangers they present to people on bikes. When they do, you can take them to court to address the injuries they cause.

If you or someone you know has been injured in a bike accident, call 619-752-1102 or 800-611-2581.

Bicycle Accidents And Insurance Companies

The aftermath of a bike accident is a trying time indeed.

  • Frequently you will have to deal with a number of insurance companies.
  • Sometimes you have to work with the company that covers the driver who hit you, or the provider that oversees the roadway that caused your accident.
  • Sometimes you will have to fight your own medical or comprehensive insurer in order to get the medical help you need to recover.

This entire ordeal can be overwhelming on its own, compounded by the pain and inconvenience following a bike accident in San Diego. So what can you do?

Get Help For Your Case Immediately

If you or someone you love has been involved in a bike accident, you need to consider legal action against the responsible party to get the money you need to pay your bills and compensate you for your pain and suffering.
