A 25-year-old Pasadena man was hospitalized with critical injuries after being struck by a car Monday evening in Pasadena, the Pasadena Star-News reported. The accident was reported at 5:45 p.m. at the intersection of Orange Grove Boulevard and Manzanita Avenue. The cyclist, who was not identified, suffered severe head trauma and was taken to Huntington Hospital, where he underwent emergency surgery. The driver of the vehicle, identified only as a 56-year-old man, was cited for driving without a license. The cause of the accident remains under investigation.
Bicycle Accident Personal Injury Liability
If the driver of the car is determined to be partly or completely responsible for this accident, he may be liable for the very serious injuries sustained by the cyclist. After accidents such as this December 20th accident, where the cause of a major injury collision is not clear, the family members of the victim would be well-advised to contact a Los Angeles bicycle accident lawyer about the incident and the victim's legal rights. An experienced personal injury lawyer can advise the victim and his family about their rights to financial compensation for medical care and treatment, lost earnings, pain and suffering, and other related injuries.
