Tulare Bicycle Accident Lawyer

Like other towns and cities across the state of California, bike ridership in the City of Tulare is up. Many people have taken to bikes as an alternative to cars for their daily commute and travel, while others ride bikes just for exercise and to enjoy the ride. Tulare has also created bike lanes like the one on East Cross Avenue and has plans to make more so cyclists can ride on the city streets in safety. But even with these efforts, a cyclist is at risk to significant injury when riding among the cars. Those who are injured in a bicycle accident have a resource in Tulare. They can call Maison Law and get someone to help them get back on their feet both physically and financially. The staff at Maison Law is experienced in bicycle law and personal injury law, and they know how to deal with the insurance company to get them to pay for the cyclist’s injuries.

Bicycle Accident Injuries

An experienced personal injury attorney knows that the details of an accident case are very important, and that no two accidents are the same. There are many ways that cyclists get injured in Tulare, and Maison Law is experienced and knowledgeable in all of these:
  • Dooring: This happens when someone in a parked or stopped car opens their door right in the path of a cyclist. The injuries can be serious, and some result in the death of the cyclist.
  • Right Hook: This injury is as ominous as it sounds. It happens when a motorist takes a right-hand turn off one street onto another and turns in front of an unsuspecting cyclist.
  • Blind Spots: All vehicles have blind spots, and the bigger the vehicle the larger and more numerous these spots are. Even a slight bump from a car can wipe out a cyclist, so when a car driver doesn’t see them, the risk of serious injury goes up.
  • Large Trucks: Semi-trucks, tankers, large box trucks and tractor-trailers all pose serious risk to a cyclist. They have huge blind spots and their size makes them deadly to cyclists. A truck right hook creates a risk of a cyclist being knocked off their bike and under the back tires of the truck.
  • Hit-and-Run: Accidents where the driver flees are at an all-time high in California. When a cyclist is hit and the driver flees, this adds on the anguish and actually creates greater risk as there may not be anyone there to contact authorities.
  • DUI: Alcohol-related bicycle-vehicle crashes take many lives each year despite all the effort to get drunk drivers off the road.

Liability in Bicycle Accidents

When a cyclist gets hurt, they wonder who is going to pay for their injuries. In most cases, the at-fault driver is going to have insurance which can be used to compensate the victim. But sometimes the driver flees or is uninsured. When this happens, then an experienced bicycle personal injury attorney can look for other forms of compensation such as the injured cyclist’s own auto policy.
