Bicycle Accident & Injury Attorneys Serving Burbank, Glendale, and Pasadena

Bicycling in and around Burbank is a great form of exercise which should be both enjoyable and relaxing.  Unfortunately, this enjoybale bicycling experience is often tragically interrupted by the negligence of motor vehicle drivers who fail to give bicyclists the respect of other drivers on the road.  California law denotes that motor vehicles should respect bicyclists and treat them just as they would any other vehicle on public roads.  These rules are in place because bicylists are required to follow the same rules that motor vehicles are required to follow.  To further protect bicyclists from being involved in a bicycle accident, Burbank, Glendale and Pasadena have explicitly created bicycle lanes in which only bicycles are supposed to ride.

However, through the negligence or carelessness of motor vehicle riders, some cars, motorcyclists and trucks tend to drive in a designated bicycle lane and they even try to pass other motor vehicles or make a right hand turn in a bicycle lane.  Some motor vehicles may also be travelling to closely behind a bicyclists and may not be able to stop in enough time, thus hitting the back of the bicyclist.

Bicyclists Are Injured More In Accidents Than People In Passenger Vehicles

Bicyclists will often suffer greater injuries than motor vehicle passengers as a passenger in a car has all of the protection of their car, truck, or big-rig, while a bicyclist is only protected with the clothing or safety equipment that he is wearing.  Generally bicyclists  wear helmets, but safety equipment will not completely protect a bicyclist from serious injuries that will result when involved in a bicycle accident in Burbank, Glendale and Pasadena.  Bicylists are generally thrown from their bicycle.  Upon being thrown from their bicycle, the bicylists may either struck a hard object such as the motor vehicle which struck them, a parked car, a hard object on the side of the road, such as a lamp post.  Therefore, a bicyclist has injuries which include broken bones, severe bleeding, road-rash, lacerations, and even death.
