California Roads are Dangerous for Cyclists

Bicycle traffic deaths are soaring and California leads the nation. Between 2010 and 2014, deaths involving bicyclists soared by 16%. California won the dubious recognition of being the most dangerous state in the nation for cyclists, with 338 people killed in collisions with automobiles.

According to the Berkely Safe Transportation Research and Education Center (SafeTREC)

  • Bicycle fatalities were highest in Fresno, Orange, Riverside, San Diego, San Joaquin, and Santa Clara counties
  • Bicycle serious injuries were highest in Los Angeles, Orange, San Diego, and Santa Clara counties

California Road Laws to Protect Cyclists

New laws have been enacted to protect bikers from automobiles. The Three Feet for Safety Act requires motorists to provide bikers space to ride, or to slow down until it is prudent to pass if traffic or roadway conditions do not allow them to provide enough room.

Whether a driver failed to provide three feet of safety, or violated another roadway law that caused your injuries, RMD Law is equipped to fully investigate your accident and determine the liable party.

No two accidents are the same, but they all have one thing in common: they should never be handled without professional help.

$5,100,000

Rollover Auto Accident

The insurance company wrongfully refused to pay our client the $100k policy limit in a rollover auto accident. RMD Law refused to take no for an answer, and filed a lawsuit alleging bad faith, ultimately winning millions for our deserving client.

$3,030,000

Auto v. Auto Settlement

Confidential bad faith settlement – a negligent driver t-boned our client at a red light resulting in severe spinal injuries. The defendant’s insurance company unreasonably refused to pay the $100K policy limit. RMD Law filed a lawsuit seeking the true value of the case. Policy was opened, and the client settled for an amount vastly higher than the original limits.

AVOIDING BICYCLE ACCIDENTS AND FATAL INJURIES

In a crash between a motor vehicle and a bicyclist, the latter is more vulnerable and more likely to be injured or killed. While California has laws to protect cyclists, each rider needs to do their part to help keep the roads safe and protect themselves from any untoward injuries.

Below are some tips to keep you safe:

WEAR A HELMET

Helmets can significantly reduce the risk of severe head injuries

OBEY TRAFFIC LAWS

This includes stopping at red lights and stop signs, yielding the right-of-way when required, and using appropriate hand signals for turns.

BE VISIBLE

Increase your visibility to motorists by wearing bright or reflective clothing, especially during low-light conditions.

RIDE PREDICTABLY

Avoid sudden swerves or lane changes without signaling.

USE BIKE LANES

If there are no designated facilities, ride in the same direction as traffic on the right side of the road.

TAKE CAUTION ON INTERSECTIONS

Slow down, scan for traffic, and make eye contact with drivers before proceeding.

WATCH FOR CAR DOORS

Stay vigilant for parked vehicles and be prepared for car doors opening unexpectedly.

BE AWARE OF BLIND SPOTS

Understand that large vehicles like trucks and buses have significant blind spots so try to stay out.

MAINTAIN YOUR BICYCLE

Regularly check your bicycle for proper functioning, including brakes, tires, and lights.

STAY FOCUSED

Avoid using headphones or mobile devices while riding.

COMMUNICATE YOUR INTENTIONS

Use hand signals to indicate your turns or lane changes and make eye contact with drivers to ensure they are aware of your presence and intentions

Los abogados de RMD son todo lo que uno puede desear. Son expertos en su campo y extremadamente eficientes, minuciosos y atentos. Me devolvieron la llamada inmediatamente y dedicaron mucho tiempo a explicarme el proceso y, sinceramente, a tranquilizarme. Nunca me sentí presionado o sentí un ambiente de vendedor. Tuve la sensación de que estaba en buenas manos. Manejaron todo con el mínimo estrés para mí, lo cual fue clave. Gracias por todo.

He trabajado con John, un socio gestor, y he quedado muy satisfecho con su enfoque informal de hombre corriente en algunos asuntos bastante complejos. Explicó las cosas en un lenguaje sencillo y fácil de asimilar y me hizo sentir cómodo con el proceso y su forma de manejar la situación. Sin duda lo recomiendo.

John fue por encima y más allá para ayudarme con mi caso de lesiones personales después de que yo estaba involucrado en un accidente de coche. Hablé con varios abogados con respecto a mi caso y aunque me decidí en contra de la contratación de uno debido a los daños menores en mi coche, John fue el único abogado que sentí que podía confiar. Yo estaba realmente impresionado por su amabilidad, honestidad y disposición a responder a todas mis preguntas y repasar las diferentes opciones conmigo. Realmente fue más allá y mostró una gran cantidad de compasión e integridad. Si alguna vez estoy involucrado en un accidente de nuevo, no dudaré en llamar a John en RMD Law.

Encontrar y decidirnos por RMD Law fue la mejor decisión que podríamos haber tomado. El personal era increíblemente agradable, de apoyo, y un placer trabajar con ellos. Un gran agradecimiento a Kathia por estar en constante comunicación, y conseguirnos el tratamiento que necesitábamos. El proceso fue increíblemente fácil gracias a su orientación.
Preguntas frecuentes

In California, the statute of limitations for filing bicycle injury claims is two years from the date of the accident. This means that you have two years from the date of the bicycle accident to file a lawsuit in civil court.

However, it’s important to note that there are certain exceptions and circumstances that can affect the statute of limitations such as:

  • Discovery Rule – the victim is not immediately aware of the injury or it became apparent at a later date
  • Minors – Minors generally have two years from the date of their 18th birthday to file a personal injury claim.
  • Government claims – shorter timelines and additional requirements could be needed if the bicycle accident involved a government entity or employee

 

It’s best to consult with an experienced personal injury attorney as soon as possible after a bicycle accident. Legal experts can provide you with accurate information regarding the statute of limitations specific to your case and guide you through the process.
