Many bicycle crashes happen because a driver was distracted, careless or did not see the rider. If you were hurt in a bicycle accident in California, Yerushalmi Law Firm can investigate and fight for the compensation you deserve.<\/p>\n<h2>Common Causes of Bicycle Accidents<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Drivers who fail to yield, turn without looking or run red lights<\/li>\n<li>Drivers who open car doors into a bike lane<\/li>\n<li>Drivers who pass too closely or drift into the bike lane<\/li>\n<li>Hit-and-run crashes<\/li>\n<li>Potholes, debris and poorly designed roads or bike lanes<\/li>\n<li>Defective bicycles, parts and helmets<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Typical Injuries<\/h2>\n<p>Bicycle accident victims often suffer head and brain injuries, broken bones, spinal injuries, road rash and internal injuries. Even riders who feel fine after a crash should get a medical exam, because some serious injuries are not obvious right away.<\/p>\n<h2>Insurance Companies and Blame<\/h2>\n<p>Insurance adjusters often try to shift blame to the cyclist. California follows a comparative fault rule, so a rider who is partly at fault may still be able to recover compensation. We gather evidence, such as video, witness statements and police reports, to show what really happened.<\/p>\n<h2>What To Do After a Bicycle Accident<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Call 911 and get medical attention.<\/li>\n<li>Take photos of the scene, your bike, your injuries and the vehicle involved.<\/li>\n<li>Get the driver&#8217;s name, license plate and insurance information, and collect witness details.<\/li>\n<li>Keep your damaged bike, helmet and clothing as evidence.<\/li>\n<li>Speak with an attorney before giving a statement to any insurance company.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How Yerushalmi Law Firm Can Help<\/h2>\n<p>We handle the investigation, the insurance negotiations and, if necessary, the trial.
