Bicycling is a great way to commute, stay active, and reduce your carbon footprint. However, cyclists remain vulnerable to serious accidents, especially on busy roads where drivers fail to share the road responsibly. If you or a loved one has been injured in a crash, our Pasadena bicycle accident lawyer can help you recover compensation and protect your rights.
Bicyclists have the same rights as any other road user, yet many drivers fail to yield, drive distracted, or make reckless maneuvers, leading to dangerous collisions. Despite ongoing efforts to make roads safer for cyclists, bike accidents remain common in Southern California.
Injured cyclists have the right to seek compensation for their medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, and other damages. At Pyramid Legal, we work to hold negligent drivers and other responsible parties accountable for the harm they cause.
Bicycle accidents often occur due to negligence, including:
Failure to Yield
Drivers making turns or merging without checking for cyclists create dangerous situations.
Distracted Driving
Texting, talking on the phone, or adjusting in-car systems can lead to devastating crashes.
Dooring Accidents
Drivers opening their car doors into a cyclist’s path can cause severe injuries.
Speeding and Reckless Driving
Excessive speed reduces reaction time, increasing the severity of collisions.
Unsafe Road Conditions
Potholes, debris, and lack of proper bike lanes make cycling more hazardous.
Driving Under the Influence
Drunk or impaired drivers pose a significant threat to cyclists.
If negligence led to your bicycle accident, Pyramid Legal is ready to fight for the compensation you deserve.
Since cyclists lack the protection of a motor vehicle, they are often left with serious, life-altering injuries, including:
Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI)
Even with a helmet, cyclists can suffer severe head trauma.
Spinal Cord Injuries
Crashes can lead to paralysis or permanent mobility loss.
Fractures and Broken Bones
Cyclists commonly sustain broken wrists, arms, legs, and collarbones.
Road Rash and Severe Lacerations
Sliding across pavement can cause deep wounds, infections, and permanent scarring.
Internal Injuries
Blunt-force trauma can lead to internal bleeding and organ damage.
If you’ve suffered any of these injuries, seeking immediate medical attention and legal representation is crucial.
If you or a loved one has been injured in a bicycle accident in Southern California, you deserve strong legal representation. Negligent drivers and insurance companies will try to limit your claim—but at Pyramid Legal, we fight for the justice and compensation you deserve.
