Determining Fault In Southern California Bicycle Accident Claims
Determining fault in bicycle accidents can be particularly challenging. In some cases, a reckless motorist may be entirely at fault for ignoring traffic signals and ultimately causing a life-threatening accident. Poorly marked crosswalks and bike paths or road hazards can also lead to serious bicycle accidents. Our firm’s Redondo Beach bike accident lawyers conduct thorough investigations to determine the cause of catastrophic and fatal bicycle accidents, including:
- Speeding and reckless driving
- Dangerous road conditions
- Illegal left turns made by motorists
- Distracted drivers on their cell phones
- Poorly marked crosswalks and bike paths
As part of our investigation, we meet with witnesses and review police reports to understand potential liability factors. When negligence remains unclear, we have the resources to consult accident reconstructionists in helping us determine fault. Our strong investigative skills have proven to be invaluable.
Handling Hit- And- Run Bicycle Accident Claims
If you or your loved one was the victim of a hit-and-run accident, entrust our law firm to delivery strong advocacy and legal counsel. Our firm’s Southern California personal injury attorneys respond quickly to investigate accident scenes before critical evidence begins to disappear. We review police reports and meet with any available witnesses to try and understand the series of events just before the accident occurred. Our legal team will evaluate every angle possible, but unfortunately, hit-and-run drivers cannot always be identified. In this case, we help clients obtain compensation through pursuing an underinsured or uninsured motorist claim. This type of insurance allows victims to obtain compensation for their medical expenses, lost wages and other relevant damages. Hit-and-run accident victims will not encounter increased insurance premiums, since they did not cause the accident.
