Bicycle Accidents

Southern California's warm weather, active lifestyle and spectacular scenery are a bicyclist's dream. With such a large population of bicyclists, there are also numerous bicycling injuries that result from collisions with motorists and unsafe road conditions.

The lawyers of Pocrass, Heimanson & Wolf, LLP represent bicyclists injured in accidents along California's streets and pathways.  We help cyclists and their families recover compensation for injuries caused by the negligence of others.

Investigating the Cause of Bicycle Accidents

Among the most common injuries bicyclists suffer are those involving traumatic brain injuries and orthopedic injuries, areas in which our attorneys have extensive experience.

During the investigation of a bicycle accident, we look at environmental conditions such as poor visibility, dangerous paths and unsafe roads.   Errors by motorists - from drunk driving to failure to yield - and defective bicycle designs may also be significant.  

Our representation frequently includes interviewing witnesses and dealing with a range of authorities – from  transportation and municipal agencies, such as the California Department of Transportation, to insurance companies and manufacturers. 

When advocating for clients, we keep in focus the harm our clients have suffered and the impact their injuries have on their livelihoods and quality of life.
