Many people living in Placerville and surrounding communities enjoy riding bicycles for exercise and pleasure. Some use their bikes as an alternative to local transportation, saving money on fuel while also limiting emissions with a healthy and environmental option for getting around the area. Unfortunately, while most bicyclists can reach their destinations safely and do not encounter any serious problems on Placerville roads, bicycle accidents can and do happen, often with devastating effects.
If you or a loved one is recovering from injuries you suffered in a bicycle accident, you have the right to seek accountability and hold the at-fault driver accountable for the harm they’ve done. Whether your accident happened because of the other party’s negligence or illegal misconduct, a Placerville bicycle accident attorney is the ideal asset to have on your side for all the recovery efforts you attempt following the accident.
The Kreeger Law Firm has years of experience representing personal injury claims in Placerville, and we have successfully handled many bicycle accident claims for our clients over the years of our firm’s operation. We know the challenges you will face in your efforts to recover from your losses and the common obstacles that arise between injured bicyclists and the compensation they legally deserve. If you are struggling in the aftermath of your recent accident, it is crucial to connect with a Placerville bicycle accident attorney as soon as possible to have the best chance of recovering your losses as fully as state law allows.
State law considers a bicyclist as having most of the same rights and responsibilities as all other motor vehicle drivers in the area. Bicyclists face many of the same risks as motor vehicle drivers, but they are substantially more vulnerable to these risk factors and more likely to suffer catastrophic or fatal injuries when accidents happen. The first step in recovering your losses from a recent bicycle accident is proving exactly how the accident occurred.
Most bicycle accidents in Placerville result from isolated acts of negligence or failure to use reasonable care. Distracted driving, speeding, and driving violations are a few examples of acts of negligence that can easily generate personal injury cases. When negligence is responsible for your recent bicycle accident, you must prove the defendant owed you a duty of care, breached this duty somehow, and directly caused your claimed damages.
It is also possible for intentional and/or illegal misconduct to cause a bicycle accident. Your Placerville bicycle accident attorney can help you understand how a criminal case filed by the state could impact the civil claim you file in pursuit of compensation for your losses. Drunk driving, reckless driving, and attempted vehicular homicide are some of the most commonly reported illegal acts that generate civil claims for damages from those affected and criminal charges from the state.
