Pico Rivera Motorcycle and Bicycle Accident

There are ample opportunities for Pico Rivera bikers to yield to the call of the open road. Whether sailing down the 605 to Seal Beach or going for a bike ride around the town’s many parks and riding trails, hopping on a Harley or a Schwinn can be the perfect antidote for the stresses of a long workday. In a best-case scenario, the ride goes as planned and you return home rested and relaxed without incident.

• However, if you get into an accident, as can happen anytime bikers and other drivers commingle on the roadway, having the information you need to protect your legal and economic rights can prove invaluable.

Being Alert on the Road

Bikers who remain alert and responsive to changes in traffic, road surfaces, and weather conditions, and who adjust their riding behavior accordingly, lessen the chance that they will become involved in collisions. Safe drivers refrain from:

• Making dangerous lane changes and maneuvers.
• Speeding.
• And riding impaired.

Even when these precautions are taken, collisions may still occur as the result of the actions of others who blindside, rear-end, and strike cyclists head-on.

Since, by their nature, biking accidents are sudden and unexpected, riders often sustain severe head and spinal cord injuries from the blunt force trauma of the impact. Unfortunately, some riders do not survive the trauma, and those that do often face years, if not a lifetime, of medical and rehabilitative care, loss of independence, and a dramatic increase in their cost of living.

• Income streams can also be negatively impacted due to an inability to immediately get back to work.

Getting the Right Help

When you are involved in a motorcycle or bicycle accident, your life will begin to travel along two different tracks, one designed to return you to health and well-being, and the other designed to protect your legal rights. It is on that second track that the experienced personal injury attorneys at El Dabe Ritter Trial Lawyers might be able to help. From collecting evidence at the accident scene to identifying and putting at-fault parties on notice of your claim against them, we provide full service for your case from start to settlement or judgment.

The legal staff and attorneys at El Dabe Ritter Trial Lawyers take pride in providing comprehensive services that fit the specific needs of your case. For our injured clients, we help to get your bike fixed and medical bills paid along with any other accident-related costs and expenses. Once we have investigated the accident and identified the responsible parties, we put them on notice and begin calculating your losses arising from the crash, which can include wages lost while you are off work, and the value of future earnings when you suffer a permanent disability and can no longer work.

Choosing the Right Team

El Dabe Ritter Trial Lawyers is just as responsive in the unfortunate circumstance of your family losing a loved one in a motorcycle or bicycle accident. As in a personal injury case, we conduct a thorough investigation of the accident, identify the at-fault party or parties, and start negotiating with them to recover your economic and non-economic losses. These can include the costs of emergency services provided at the accident scene, funeral, and burial costs, and all other monetary expenditures made as a result of the accident. In instances where the person lost was the primary breadwinner for your family, we calculate the value of the support your loved one would have provided to those who depended upon them and work aggressively to have those losses compensated as well.
