Whittier Motorcycle and Bicycle Accident
At El Dabe Ritter Trial Lawyers, we know that victims of accidents like this are traumatized, confused, and often unable to think clearly following an accident. Bicyclists and motorcycle riders suffer some of the worst injuries when they are involved in an accident, and they’re not always able to make their own decisions. That’s why we work to help you find the compensation you deserve so you can recover from your accident as stress-free as possible.
When Negligence is Involved
Motorcycle and bicycle accidents are typically caused by someone else’s negligence. What this means is someone was not driving appropriately and caused your accident. This is not your fault. If someone else is to blame, it becomes their job to make it right in your life. That might mean paying for your medical bills and your recovery. What is negligence? It typically includes the following:
- Driving under the influence
- Driving on a suspended or revoked license
- Not paying attention to speed limit signs
- Not stopping at red lights
- Not stopping at stop signs
- Not yielding when required
- Not looking for oncoming traffic
- Swerving
- Driving recklessly
- Texting and driving
- Using the phone and driving
- Distracted driving
There are many reasons the driver of the vehicle that caused your accident might have caused the accident, but these are some of the most common. This driver is to blame for what happened to you, and our job is to make sure you receive the compensation you deserve. You didn’t make the decision to leave the house to go on a nice ride to have your entire life turned upside down, so you shouldn’t have to live like that.
Injuries Common in Motorcycle and Bicycle Accidents
The most common injuries associated with this type of accident vary, but they usually include at least one or two of the following:
- Road rash
- Broken bones
- Burns
- Scars
- Head injuries
- Neck injuries
- Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
- Death
Physical injuries are not the only ones you might suffer in an accident. Many people make the mistake of not seeking medical treatment right away. This causes injuries you can’t see to worsen. Many riders are living with internal bleeding and damage to major organs they didn’t know about because they refused medical assistance. Additionally, many victims experience mental and emotional health issues stemming from these accidents in the months and years following your accident.
Never refuse medical treatment following an accident. Not only can it save your life, it can give you a better idea of the medical bills you’ll face in the future. Not knowing this in advance can affect your decision to hire a Whittier Motorcycle/Bicycle Accident Lawyer.
How We Help
It’s our job at El Dabe Ritter Trial Lawyers to make sure you’re not responsible for becoming an attorney. You don’t know the law like we do, so it’s our job to use our knowledge to help ease your stress. We look for the evidence proving someone else was to blame, and we file court documents seeking compensation you rightfully deserve.
We seek compensation to help with your medical bills, your insurance premiums, your medications, therapy, rehabilitation, and even the emotional and mental distress caused by the accident. If your income is affected by your injuries because you are out of work while recovering or unable to work, we seek compensation for that, too.
Our job involves helping you recover from your accident. When someone else’s negligence causes an accident, it’s not your job to spend the rest of your life paying for their mistakes.
