Last year I had gotten into a bad car accident that left me dazed and confused. I did a google search for the top accidental law firms and LA Century Law was first to pop up. I called and spoke with Nancy and A few others on the team. The process for me when dealing with this Firm was very amazing . From the beginning to the end of this horrible journey, The team has made me feel comfortable, heard and taken care of. I appreciate everything the firm has done for me during this horrible time. They set up all appointments in a timely manner and stayed on top of things regarding the case. Most importantly they listened to me and my concerns or just to vent. Chris and his team are amazing and definitely get the job done! I highly recommend this Firm when needing assistance with something you never asked for to happen to yourself. Great job!

People enjoy California because of its beautiful weather and scenic landscape. This leads most of us to enjoy the outdoors and cycle in the streets. Unfortunately, there are plenty of reckless and careless drivers on the road. In a 2020 report, 10 people lost their lives and 1,369 were injured in a bicycle accident in Los Angeles. Therefore, it is imperative to have the right representation to protect you when you have been injured in a bicycle accident.

LA Century Law is a premier civil litigation firm that specializes in bicycle and cycling accidents in Los Angeles, Century City, and throughout California. We assist individuals injured and harmed obtain compensation for their injuries.

Can I get compensation for a bicycle accident?

Individuals injured on a bicycle or otherwise injured while cycling can obtain compensation for their injuries, including their pain and suffering. It is our goal to make sure injured individuals can focus on their recovery while we work endlessly to obtain the compensation those harmed rightfully deserve. If you have been injured in a bicycle accident, you should not have to bear the financial and emotional loss that comes with such a traumatic incident alone.

In California, when you or someone you love is involved in a bicycle accident, you are making a claim under the legal theory of โ€œnegligenceโ€. This means that the person or driver that caused or contributed to the bicycle accident did not exercise reasonable care in operating their vehicle.

Examples of fault in bicycle accidents:

  • Speeding
  • Not leaving following distance or room for the bicycle
  • Turning in front of a bicyclist
  • Driving into a crosswalk
  • Vehicle or bicycle manufacturing defects
  • Failing to keep a vehicle or bicycle in good working condition
  • Driving on the shoulder
  • Not accounting for poor lighting or weather conditions
  • Distracted driving, texting while driving
  • Running a red light, failure to yield
  • DUI, driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs
  • Poor road maintenance or design

This is not intended to be an exhaustive list. Call our office now for a free consultation.

Because of the large size of a vehicle involved compared to a bicyclist, even an accident at low speed may produce serious injuries. If the driver is at fault, the victim may claim for the full extent of their damages.

Who may be liable for a bicycle accident claim?

The driver isnโ€™t the only party who may be liable for a bicycle accident claim. There are many parties who may have legal fault. At LA Century Law, we leave no stone unturned. We investigate the incident thoroughly to determine all parties that have (or potentially have) caused or contributed to a bicycle accident. This includes, but is not limited to:

  • Driver
  • Employer of the driver
  • Vehicle manufacturer or bicycle manufacturer
  • Government body for road design or maintenance
  • Party in control of private property including a parking lot
  • Establishment who overserves a minor with alcohol

To receive compensation, the victim must name the responsible party in their claim. As part of our representation, we thoroughly investigate. Then, we use our experience to analyze and determine who is responsible for paying damages for the bicycle accident.

What if I am partially responsible for the bicycle accident?

It may be possible that the victim also shares some legal liability for the accident. In California, a bicycle accident victim may receive compensation even if they played a role in the accident. The trier of fact assigns fault by percentages among those involved. This is called comparative fault. Fault is distributed between the parties. Meaning that even if you are 99% at fault, you still may be entitled to compensation.

For a bicycle accident victim, claiming compensation even if they are partially responsible is often a good option. Their injuries are likely to be serious โ€“a motor vehicle operator doesnโ€™t have the protection of a large motor vehicle at the time of the accident. If comparative negligence applies, our legal team ensures that you understand how it impacts your compensation. We aggressively assert your legal rights and fight for the full amount that you deserve.

Common injuries from a bicycle accident

Injuries you may claim in compensation for a bicycle accident commonly include:

  • Broken bones
  • Joint damage like ligament and tendon damage
  • Traumatic brain injury, concussion, brain damage
  • Chronic headaches and back pain
  • Road rash from being thrown off your vehicle
  • Internal bleeding, bruising and lacerations
  • Spinal cord injuries, paralysis
  • Secondary complications and infection
  • Mental health injuries and the cost of treatment

Injuries are compensated for in multiple ways in a bicycle accident claim. You deserve not only the cost of medical care, but also other ways that you are impacted. For example, if your injuries prevent you from working, you deserve compensation for your inability to work. All injuries are physically painful, at least to some degree, and that is deserving of recognition, too. You are also entitled to โ€œlife impactโ€ damages or pain and suffering.

What damages can I receive for a bicycle accident?

The damages that you can receive for a bicycle accident may be both economic and non-economic. You may claim for direct costs you have because of your injuries, non-economic damages and property damage.

For simplicity, economic damages are quantifiable damages like loss of earnings, medical bills, property damage, etc. On the other hand, non-economic damages are not quantifiable and are different on a case by case basis. These are damages associated with an individualโ€™s pain and suffering from the bicycle accident. You may also claim for wrongful death if a loved one loses their life.

An important part of our representation is identifying, proving and claiming your damages. We invite you to meet with us for a consultation to learn more.

  • Preserving evidence immediately, while you focus on your recovery
  • Initiating your claim with the insurance company, completing the forms accurately โ€“ you need to know what damages you can claimย beforeย you submit documentation to the insurance company
  • Valuing damages including categories that a victim may not be aware of โ€“ going further in a bicycle accident claim because injuries may be serious
  • Ensuring that future damages and pain and suffering are fairly represented
  • Evaluating the response from the insurance company and determining how to proceed
  • Filing your formal legal claim. Complying with the statute of limitations and knowing where and how to start your case
  • Taking advantage of legal procedure to build and advance your rights

Will my case go to trial?

When we meet with bicycle accident victims for the first time, theyโ€™re often worried about trial. Even though weโ€™re always ready to fight for you as long as it takes, most cases donโ€™t end up going to trial. Itโ€™s our goal to resolve your case in the best possible way. If youโ€™re nervous about a trial, let us put your mind at ease and build a strong claim that puts you in a position to reach a fair settlement before even having to file a lawsuit.
