Our Services

Cyclists in Los Angeles and Orange County share the road with cars, trucks, and buses, and they have no steel frame around them. A left-turn driver, a door opening into a bike lane, or a poorly marked construction zone can cause serious injuries. Bridgewater Law Group represents injured cyclists from our Santa Fe Springs office and helps them pursue compensation for medical care, lost wages, and recovery.

Common Causes of Bicycle Accidents

Most serious bike crashes are not “just accidents.” They happen because a driver, a property owner, or a public agency failed to use reasonable care. Common causes we see include:

• Distracted or speeding drivers
• Left-turn and right-hook collisions at intersections
• Dooring in marked or unmarked bike lanes
• Unsafe road conditions, debris, and construction zones
• Failure to yield at intersections and driveways
• Impaired driving

Injuries and Insurance Issues Cyclists Face

Even a low-speed car-versus-bike crash can cause head injuries, fractures, road rash, and a long recovery. Insurers often try to blame the cyclist. We investigate the scene, preserve photos and video, and deal with the insurance companies so you can focus on treatment.
