Types of Injuries Caused by Bicycle Accidents in Los Angeles

Anyone who rides a bike on the busy streets of Los Angeles know about the dangers that come with sharing the road.  Not all areas of LA have bike lanes, and the places that do have bike lanes are few and far between.  Cyclists are forced to share the streets with reckless automobile drivers.  Sometimes drivers can be impatient and reckless when it comes to driving near a bicyclist and cause a serious bicycle accident.  Unfortunately many cyclists have suffered very serious injuries as the result of being struck by an oncoming vehicle.

The types of injuries caused to someone who is thrown from a bike can vary, but may include any of the following:

• Deep cuts or abrasions,
• Head injuries,
• Brain damage
• Spinal cord injuries or paralysis
• Severed limbs
• Broken bones
• Loss of vision

If someone sustains an injury like the ones listed above they could be forced to undergo multiple corrective surgeries or live the rest of their life in a paralyzed state.  No matter what the consequences of your injuries you should know that there is legal help available to you when you call 800-715-4489.  One of our Los Angeles bicycle accident attorneys can help you seek compensation and discuss the options available to you.
