Cyclists Encounter Serious Right of Way Violations

Cyclists face road hazards that are often misunderstood, even by some lawyers. Vehicles drift into bike lanes, pass too closely, or ignore cyclists entirely, creating serious risks of injury or death. Cyclists are often blamed unfairly, even when drivers are at fault. Drivers can give one-sided statements at the scene while injured cyclists are taken to the hospital, and police reports may be biased, shaping the narrative before your side is heard. You need a bike lawyer who understands cycling and the precautions cyclists take. Our lawyers use that expertise to overcome misconceptions, educate the legal system, and fight relentlessly to ensure clients receive the justice they deserve. We have recovered millions of dollars for injured cyclists, taking on even the most challenging cases and winning through relentless advocacy.

"I was a client of Injury Law Group. The case was a motor vehicle versus bicycle. After the accident I had lost my transportation and income due to the fact I was going to school with the financial aid of my GI bill. As a result of my injuries I couldn’t continue school until my health was back to normal. Mark made sure that I had the best medical interventions and was paid full MSRP for my high end bike..."

"On a sunny afternoon in April, I was on a bike ride and a distracted SUV driver ran me off the road. My arms and legs were badly scraped and my bike was destroyed. I attempted to navigate the legal situation on my own but the insurance company said the accident was my fault. Despite being hit while in the bike lane they would only cover 25% of my repair and medical bills. I decided to call Mark..."

Bicycle Lawyer

When cyclists and vehicles follow the rules of the road, they can coexist safely. But when a careless driver ignores roadway signs, drives in a protected bike lane, or fails to respect a cyclist’s right of way, the consequences can be catastrophic. In collisions between two cars, both drivers often walk away. When a vehicle hits a bicycle, however, the cyclist or their family can face far more serious consequences, including catastrophic injury or death. If you or a loved one has been injured, or lost their life, in a cycling accident and are looking for a San Diego bicycle accident lawyer, we can help you and your family seek justice.

Cause of the Accident

The leading cause of bicycle accidents is a driver failing to see the cyclist. These accidents are more likely to occur in the early morning or evening, when vision is limited by darkness or sunlight. Even with reflectors, many drivers claim they didn’t see the bicycle until the moment of impact. Another common cause is a driver under the influence of alcohol or drugs, which greatly increases the risk of serious injury or death. Other frequent causes include unsafe turns, sidewiping or clipping a cyclist, or vehicles suddenly changing lanes directly in the path of cyclists. In cases resulting in death, these same factors often leave families grieving and in need of an attorney who will fight for accountability and justice.

Bicycle Helmet Law

California law requires anyone under 18 riding a bicycle to wear an approved, properly fitted helmet. Whether you, or a loved one who was injured or killed in a bicycle accident, were wearing a helmet does not determine who is legally responsible for causing the accident. However, depending on the facts of the case, helmet use could affect the amount of compensation you or your family may be entitled to recover from the negligent driver.
