Defecting Bicycles Causing Serious Cycling Injuries
Second only to the Tour de France, the Tour de California brings cyclists from around the country and the world to the San Francisco Bay Area. Northern California enjoys a year-round popularity with bicyclists as well.
As with any other sporting or recreational activity, biking has its share of hazards. From injuries caused by product defects to bicycle accidents on poorly maintained roadways, the attorneys at Abramson Smith Waldsmith, LLP work to help get our clients the compensation and results they deserve.
If you have been injured in a bicycle accident during an organized event or leisurely ride, contact us at 415.421.7995 or toll free at 888.745.2988. We represent clients in the San Francisco Bay Area and throughout Northern California.
Educating You About Your Options if You Are Injured in a Bicycle Accident
While an organized ride may be for a worthy charitable cause, those coordinating the event must be sure that safety is maintained. Traffic control and safe road conditions are paramount to prevent injuries. Yet, when a minor issue is overlooked, bicycle accidents happen and bicyclists are seriously injured.
At Abramson Smith Waldsmith, LLP, we see injured clients who come to us feeling as if they have no options. They signed a release prior to a bicycling event that absolved the organizers. Yet, that release may be poorly written or practically illegible and, as a result, it may not be enforceable.
Holding Manufacturers Accountable for Serious Injuries
As environmental awareness grows and the economy sees challenges, an increasing number of people choose bicycles as their primary form of transportation. Producing a quality product that is safe is not always a top priority of a company concerned about their bottom line. When that happens, bicyclists get hurt and we are by their side as their most aggressive advocate.
