Bicycle Accident Attorneys
Accidents involving bicyclists can result in fatality or very serious injuries. Obviously, a bicycle rider has little protection from the ground or vehicles that might run into him or her. While helmets reduce the incidence of head injuries, there are many injured bicycle riders who suffer spinal injuries, including spinal cord injury and paralysis, or major fractures of bones in the arms, legs, neck and back.
The bicycle accident lawyers at Blackman Legal Group have over 32 years of experience in representing injured cyclists. Most of the collisions between bikes and cars, or other vehicles on the road, are due to the driver not seeing the bicycle rider. Cars turn right directly in front of bicycles that are driving on the right side of the road either directly hitting the bicyclist or causing the bicycle rider to run into the vehicle. Other vehicles pull out onto the street from a driveway or a side street and do not see the bicyclist coming from their left and run directly into the cyclist or pull out directly in front of the rider who collides with the vehicle because there is no time to stop or steer around it.
Our experienced trial attorneys use accident reconstruction experts as well as human factors engineers to prove the case of liability in bicycle accident cases. We also use the medical experts necessary to prove the injuries and the cost of medical care for our client, including lifetime projections for those who are permanently disabled from an accident. Life care planners and economists are used in permanent disability cases to prove the lifetime economic costs associated with the injury and the disability.
