Car vs. Bicyclist Personal Injury Liability
Even with a helmet, cyclists are extremely vulnerable to serious injury in a collision with a vehicle. If authorities determine that the driver of the vehicle was responsible for this crash, the injured victim may be entitled to compensation for his lost earnings, pain and suffering, and medical care and treatment. Following an accident such as this February 14th Irvine bicycle accident, the injured victim or his family would be well-advised to contact an experienced and Irvine personal injury lawyer. If the driver was responsible, a skilled attorney can help the victim protect his legal rights and recover the maximum compensation he is entitled to.
