Bicycle Accident Personal Injury Liability
If the driver of the car is responsible for this accident, the injured cyclist may be able to recover compensation for his injuries, including medical expenses, lost earnings, and pain and suffering. After a major injury car vs. bicycle accident such as this one in Hollywood, the family members of the injured victim would be well-advised to speak with a California bicycle accident attorney who specializes in representing victims of cycling accidents. An attorney who is also a cyclist and has represented numerous victims of cycling accidents will have unique understanding and perspective in the liability issues of accidents resulting in serious injury to cyclists. It is always advisable to speak with a knowledgeable bicycle accident lawyer before providing insurance representatives with a recorded statement, or accepting any compensation offer; doing so may limit the amount of compensation victims may ultimately recover for their injuries.
