El Cajon Bicycle Accident Attorney

With the ever growing cost of gasoline in recent times, more and more people are electing to ride bicycles as a primary mode of transportation. Cycling offers many advantages over commuting in an automobile. Such advantages include saving money on gas, improved fitness, less maintenance costs, and not paying insurance to ride. Additionally, there is the sense of freedom and exhilaration that comes with traveling via bicycle. Unfortunately, those that choose to ride are more vulnerable to accidents as they lack key safety features that automobiles possess. While wearing a helmet can significantly reduce the severity of the injury that a person in an accident may incur, it certainly will not protect the rider fully. If you have been struck by a motor vehicle while riding a bicycle, contact a professional El Cajon bicycle accident attorney at the Law Office of Howard Alan Kitay today. Our top personal injury lawyers can help you procure a compensation figure appropriate for your injury or loss.

Frequency

On a nationwide scale, it was reported that there were approximately 43,000 injuries related to bicycle accidents in 2007 alone. Those living in and around the Sand Diego County area experienced a share of these injuries and accidents. According to the California Highway Patrol, there were 11,683 bicycle accidents ending in personal injury alone from 2004 - 2008 statewide. During that same time span, the CHP reported 131 fatal bicycle accidents. A majority of these accidents stem from the negligence of drivers who simply fail to see a cyclist in time to prevent an injury. Simply not checking a blind spot before making a turn can be a serious accident causing mistake for an automobile driver.

Our seasoned personal injury attorneys know the laws and regulations associated with these types of accidents and will aggressively pursue the compensation you need in this time.

Potential Injuries

After a regular sized automobile strikes a smaller, more vulnerable bicycle, the outcome can be catastrophic to say the least. Outside of a reliable helmet, cyclists have virtually no protection when struck by cars or trucks. In many cases, the cyclist is thrown off their bike and onto the ground, into a building or fixture, or worse pinned underneath a car. Some of the injuries that a cyclist may incur, but not limited to, in El Cajon bicycle accidents are:

• Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI)
  
• Spinal Cord Injuries, including paralysis
  
• Fractured or Broken Limbs
  
• Extensive Cuts, Bruises, and Scrapes (often labeled “Road Rash”)
  
• Burns
  
• Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

Due to the severity of the injuries that cyclists can incur after an accident, the medical bills associated with them can be stifling. X-Rays, Emergency Room Visits, CT-Scans, MRI’s, and physical therapy are just a few of the things that a victim may need after an El Cajon bicycle accident.
