The city of San Francisco and surrounding Bay Area is a beautiful place to ride a bicycle. However, as enjoyable as the sport is, it also comes with its share of dangers. There a lot of hazards that can cause a bicycle crash, like: roadway hazards, potholes, reckless automobile drivers, reckless bus drivers, and problems with the bicycles themselves. When one of these factors causes a bicyclist to get into an accident, the injurious consequences can be life altering and deadly to say the least.
At the Dolan Law Firm, we have handled numerous bicycle accident claims relating to wrongful injury and wrongful death. Furthermore, out attorneys have a long history of achieving financial recoveries on behalf of our clients. For example, one case — where our firm successfully obtained an award of $365,000 for our client — related to a bicyclist who was hurt by a parked motorist opening his door in the cyclist’s path. These bike accident cases are often referred to as “being doored.”
Regardless of the circumstances of your bicycle crash, our firm has probably handled a similar bike accident case. In our litigation experience, we have represented plaintiffs in numerous kinds of crashes that did not involve another automobile, like crashes caused by: sand and gravel on roadways, roads needing to be resurfaced, problems of railroad tracks, potholes, bike helmet failures, uneven sidewalks, mechanical bicycle failures, broken or caught chains, collapsing rims, and much, much more.
If you or your loved one have been injured in a bicycle crash, the Law Firm is here to help. Best of all, we operate on a contingency fee basis. What this means is that you will not have to pay any money in legal fees relating to your case unless we achieve a favorable financial recovery on your behalf.
