Lawyers That Understand

We know that often times the cyclist is like a ghost out on the street. Automobile drivers, more often than not, do not pay enough attention to bicycle riders. Our bicycle accident lawyers are prepared to fight for our cyclist victims. We know what to do to present a successful case for the cyclist victim who has been hit by a car or truck. Our understanding of the roads cyclists use for commuting, recreation, and exercise lets us help you. When riding your bike on busy streets, cars must give you the space needed to safely maneuver, and when drivers don't pay attention, there can be serious consequences. For many recreational riders who use the hills surrounding the San Fernando Valley, including Mulholland Drive, La Tuna Canyon, Los Angeles Crest Highway, and Malibu Canyon/ Las Virgenes - these roads can be made dangerous by speeding and reckless drivers.

Don't Settle for Less After Being Injured

Did you know that bicyclists get the short end of the stick from insurance companies after accidents? There are studies that show that settlements for injuries suffered in cars are 30% to 40% higher than for the same type of injuries suffered by cyclists. For a free consultation, contact the bike accident injury lawyers at Freeman & Freeman, LLP now. Our office is located at the west end of the Valley and we handle cases throughout the greater Los Angeles area, including Simi Valley and other Ventura County communities.

Many cities now recognize the increase in bike traffic and have constructed special bike lanes. Parks have now made trails accessible to bicycles. Even some vehicle manufacturers are now offering bike racks as standard equipment. However, many automobile drivers do not respect the bicyclists' rights to share the road.

Uneducated drivers have been responsible for some staggering statistics.

• A bicyclist is fatally injured every 6 hours.
• Nearly one million children are injured each year in bicycle related accidents.
• Nearly half of all bicycle fatalities occur to children under the age of 16.
• 75 percent of all serious injuries and fatalities from bicycle accidents are from head injuries.
• While collisions with cars account for only one-third of all bicycle accidents, they account for the majority of catastrophic injuries and deaths.
