Our West Hollywood Bicycle Accident Attorneys Help You Get Compensation For Your Injuries 

Bicyclists are among the most vulnerable road users, and reckless behavior on the part of motorists puts them at considerable risk. The California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) reports that each year, there are nearly 25 bicycle accidents in West Hollywood. This averages to more than two per month and ranks us among the state's most dangerous places for bicycling.  

With little to protect them, injuries suffered by bicyclists have the potential to be severe. At Harris Personal Injury Lawyers, we provide caring support and comprehensive legal representation to get you compensation. Our West Hollywood bicycle accident attorneys fight to hold at-fault motorists accountable. Common types of injuries suffered by clients in cases we handle include:  

• Severe cuts and bruising; 
• Sprained or torn muscles and tendons; 
• Broken bones, often involving multiple fractures; 
• Herniated discs and other painful back or neck injuries; 
• Internal injuries and loss of limbs; 
• Traumatic brain injuries due to concussions and skull fractures; 
• Spinal cord injuries.  

What Are Common Causes of Bicycle Accidents In West Hollywood? 

The City of West Hollywood created the Bicycle Accident Task Force over a decade ago. The goal was to increase bicycle safety by raising awareness and identifying high-risk areas needing improvement. While this can help reduce the risk, it fails to identify the underlying cause. 

In most cases, bicycle accidents in West Hollywood happen due to drivers' reckless and negligent behavior. Among the most common causes include:  

• Running red lights and stop signs; 
• Failure to yield the right of way at crosswalks; 
• Not looking for bicyclists when pulling out of parking spaces and making turns; 
• Going over posted speed limits; 
• Talking on cell phones, texting, or other types of distracted driving; 
• Drunk driving or being under the influence of illegal drugs or medications.  

When you or someone you love suffers serious, potentially life-threatening bicycle accident injuries due to the above or other causes, contact Harris Personal Injury Lawyers immediately. While you focus on recovering, our West Hollywood bicycle accident attorneys take the legal actions needed to get you compensation.  

How Do I Get Compensation For West Hollywood Bicycle Accident Injuries? 

Under Section 1714 of the California Civil Code, everyone is responsible for actions or inactions that cause injuries to others. We can hold the driver liable through their insurer or by filing a bicycle accident lawsuit against them.  

Harris Personal Injury Lawyers will thoroughly review your case, conduct an investigation, and gather the evidence needed to file a claim. Our West Hollywood bicycle accident attorneys aggressively negotiate with insurance companies to get you the best possible settlement. If the driver lacks coverage or it fails to cover your costs, we will not hesitate to take them to court. Compensation available includes:  

• Current medical expenses and any future testing, treatment, and medications required; 
• Reimbursement for lost income during your recovery; 
• Payment for future losses in income and benefits in the event of long-term disabilities; 
• Additional amounts for property damages, pain and suffering, and to punish the driver for particularly willful and negligent behavior, such as driving with a high blood alcohol content (BAC) level.  

If you are injured in a hit-and-run bicycle accident in West Hollywood, our legal team can take whatever actions are needed to identify them so they can be held accountable. In representing our clients in these and other cases, Harris Personal Injury Lawyers, Inc. works on a contingency basis. You pay no upfront costs or out-of-pocket attorney fees.
