Bicycle AccidentsIf you’ve been injured while bicycling, you need an experienced San Diego bicycle accident attorney to help you. The San Diego personal injury firm of Steven Estey and Michael Bomberger has over 70 years of combined experience helping thousands of Californians in personal injury cases, including bicycle accidents. There are more than 85 million bicycle riders in the United States. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, in 2005, 784 bicyclists were killed on roads in the U.S., most of them from crashes with motor vehicles. More than 540,000 people are injured each year in bicycling accidents with about 67,000 suffering head injuries and 27,000 requiring hospitalization. Although bicycle laws in California and Los Angeles have been added bicycling accidents are still too commonplace. Michael Bomberger, a founding partner of Estey & Bomberger, is an avid cyclist and he’s aware of the dangers that exist because of motor vehicle drivers’ negligence. The San Diego personal injury firm of Estey & Bomberger has strong knowledge of the rules of the road for cyclists, bicycle safety equipment, accident reconstruction and roadway designs—all factors that are crucial to a bicycle accident case. The driving laws in California carefully address the fact that motorists must be careful of bicyclists, motorcycles and scooters and treat them as another automobile on the road. Motorists are forbidden to drive in the designated bicycle lanes and motorists making a right hand turning must yield to cyclists.
