Los Angeles Bicycle Accident Attorney
Each year, thousands of bicyclists are seriously injured or killed in bicycle accidents. These often occur due to negligent drivers, unsafe road conditions, or defective bicycle equipment. What’s most tragic is that many bicycle accidents could have been avoided if someone had simply been more careful.Each year, thousands of bicyclists are seriously injured or killed in bicycle accidents.

What’s most tragic is that many bicycle accidents could have been avoided if someone had simply been more careful.
Bicycle accidents can be life-altering. Survivors often face painful physical injuries, emotional trauma, and financial burdens due to rising medical bills and lost income.
Bicycle Accidents and the Law
If you’ve been injured in a bicycle accident, California law may entitle you to compensation. Unlike motor vehicle accidents, bicycle accident claims can be complex due to biases against cyclists and the challenge of proving liability.
Whether you were struck by a car, doored by a parked vehicle, or hurt due to a road hazard, you may be able to file a lawsuit. Responsible parties may include:
- Negligent drivers
- Vehicle owners
- City or state governments responsible for road maintenance
- Property owners
- Bicycle or parts manufacturers
- Delivery companies or commercial fleets
Why Bicycle Accident Cases Are Complicated
David Olan understands how to build strong cases for injured cyclists. Determining fault in a bicycle crash often requires expert investigation, accident reconstruction, and knowledge of California traffic and negligence laws.
California’s comparative negligence law may apply in your case. Even if you’re partially at fault, you could still recover compensation. For instance, if a court finds you 20% liable and a driver 80% liable, you could still receive 80% of your total awarded damages.
With decades of legal experience, David Olan knows how to maximize compensation for bicycle accident victims.
Types of Damages You Can Recover
- Physical injuries
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional trauma
- Medical expenses (past and future)
- Lost wages
- Loss of earning capacity
- Damage to your bicycle and gear
- Wrongful death of a loved one
Time Limits to File a Bicycle Accident Claim
Don’t wait. California law places strict time limits (statutes of limitation) on filing bicycle accident lawsuits. If you miss the deadline, you may lose your right to compensation.
