Experienced & Professional Bicycle Accident Lawyers in Van Nuys

Bicycle accidents can result in serious injuries or even fatalities. Legal issues in bicycle accidents often differ from those in car accidents, which is why it’s important to have a knowledgeable bicycle accident attorney on your side. Accidents may be caused by vehicle collisions, unsafe road conditions, poorly maintained premises, or even defective bicycles. Regardless of the cause, our attorneys are here to help you pursue the compensation you deserve.

California Laws for Bicycle Accidents
Bicycles offer little protection compared to cars, so collisions often result in severe injuries for cyclists. Many drivers are unaware that they must share the road with bicycles. Under California Vehicle Code Section 21760, drivers must maintain at least 3 feet of clearance when passing a cyclist. Even careful riders following all laws can still be involved in accidents through no fault of their own.

California Bicycle Helmet Law
California law requires cyclists under 18 to wear a properly fitted and fastened helmet (California Vehicle Code Section 21212(a)). While there is no legal helmet requirement for adults, wearing one is strongly recommended. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), a properly fitted helmet is the most effective way to prevent brain injuries in a bicycle accident.
