BICYCLE ACCIDENT ATTORNEYS

LEADING REPRESENTATION FOR LOS ANGELES BICYCLE ACCIDENTS

Despite being one of the largest cities in the country, Los Angeles is not particularly bicycle-friendly. Bike lanes are sporadic and disconnected, trails are limited, and traffic speeds are far too high. The lack of infrastructure for bicyclists makes it difficult for them to navigate safely and leads to numerous accidents each year.

At Levin & Nalbandyan, we represent individuals who have been hurt or lost a loved one in a Los Angeles bicycle accident. We have over 30 years of experience working with families who have suffered unimaginable harm as a result of another person’s negligence. If you were injured in a bicycle accident, contact our office at (213) 232-4848 to schedule a free, no-obligation consultation. 

HOW DO I KNOW WHO IS LIABLE FOR A BICYCLE ACCIDENT?

One of the most common questions following a bicycle accident is who can be held liable or legally responsible for your injuries. The best way to determine who can be held liable for your accident is by consulting with an attorney. An attorney will conduct an independent investigation to determine who or what caused the crash. 

Parties that may be held liable for your bicycle accident:

  • A negligent driver
  • A government entity (poor road design or dangerous road conditions)
  • The bicycle manufacturer
  • A parts manufacturer
  • Another party whose negligence caused the accident

Many bicycle accidents are caused by inattentive drivers. If you are involved in a traffic accident while riding your bike, you need to speak to an attorney immediately. You may be entitled to compensation for your damages.

WHAT KINDS OF DAMAGES AM I ENTITLED TO?

If another person can be held liable for your injuries, you may be able to pursue a claim for damages. Your damages will include any accident-related losses. The losses can be either economic (out-of-pocket and easily calculated) or non-economic (such as pain and suffering).

Damages you may receive after a bicycle accident:

  • Medical bills
  • Lost wages
  • Loss of future earnings
  • Future medical care and treatment
  • Pain and suffering

To determine the exact value of your claim or how much you should ask for in damages, you need to consult with a Los Angeles bicycle accident attorney.

HOW LONG DO I HAVE TO FILE A BICYCLE ACCIDENT?

With all personal injury cases, you only have a limited amount of time to file a claim for damages. California law requires that you file a case within two years of the bicycle accident. Failure to file a claim within the statute of limitations may result in your claim being denied. 

WHAT IF I WAS PARTIALLY TO BLAME FOR THE ACCIDENT?

Even if you were partially responsible for the accident, you may still be able to collect compensation after a bicycle accident. Under state law, an injured party is still entitled to damages if they were partially at fault. Their recovery, however, is reduced in proportion to their percentage of negligence.

WHAT ARE THE MOST COMMON INJURIES AFTER A BICYCLE ACCIDENT?

Because bicyclists have little protection, accidents generally result in severe injuries. It is important to get treated by a medical professional immediately after an accident since some injuries may not be readily apparent after a crash.

Common injuries after a bicycle accident include:

  • Broken bones
  • Fractured jaws
  • Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)
  • Spinal cord injuries
  • Facial fracture and disfigurement
  • Broken teeth

If you are involved in a bicycle accident, your best course of action is to speak to an attorney as soon as possible. An attorney can help ensure that you receive the largest possible recovery based on your case.

DOG BITE INJURY ATTORNEY IN LOS ANGELES

FIGHTING FOR COMPENSATION ON BEHALF OF THE INJURED

Dogs might be man’s best friend, but when in the hands of the wrong caregiver, they can become unpredictable and dangerous. If you were bitten by a dog, you should file a personal injury claim to obtain compensation for the costs associated with the injury, such as medical treatment. At Levin & Nalbandyan, LLP, our dog bite injury attorneys will fight on your behalf and hold the responsible party liable for your pain and suffering.

WHAT SHOULD I DO AFTER BEING BITTEN BY A DOG?

The aftermath of a dog bite injury is similar to the steps one would take after being injured in a motor vehicle accident.

Here are the steps you should keep in mind if you are ever attacked by a dog:

  • Seek medical attention right away: If you put off medical care or neglect to go to the doctor altogether, you are going to have a hard time obtaining compensation for your injuries. Moreover, not seeking medical care could potentially result in health complications, such as infection. You cannot assume all dogs are properly vaccinated, so be sure to prioritize a trip to the doctor.
  • Swap phone numbers: Make sure to exchange phone numbers and other contact information with the dog’s owner or caregiver since you will need to be able to easily reach him or her in the coming days to inquire about their pet’s vaccination history.
  • Witnesses at the scene: If anyone watched the dog bite injury occur, obtain their contact information before they leave the scene. They will be able to help back up your claim.
  • File a report: People are often hesitant to file a report with animal control, but doing so can help prevent others from being bitten. It might even help the investigation regarding your own case.

You should also do your best to document your injury before and after treatment. Take pictures that show the healing process and keep a journal to note your pain level and inability to perform certain tasks or motions. A personal injury claim can take some time, so it is crucial to write down these details.
