San Francisco Bicycle Accident Injury Attorneys
San Francisco is an urban city with a large population of cyclists. Cycling is a popular means of transportation for commuters and also a popular tourism activity. There are more than 200 miles of bicycle lanes and paths in the city. Bicycling Magazine has consistently ranked San Francisco as one of the most popular cities for cycling. San Francisco even has its own bicycle advocacy coalition with more than 10,000 members. Although cycling is generally considered to be a safe activity, cyclists face risks sharing the road with other vehicles and cycling accidents are a frequent occurrence in San Francisco.
Bicycle Accident Specialists
As a competitive cyclist, founding partner Mike Bomberger is an advocate of bicycle safety and especially committed to protecting the rights of cyclists. At Estey & Bomberger, LLP, Mike is passionate about helping cyclists injured in bike accidents. He rides several hundred miles a week and uniquely understands the dangers cyclists face on California roadways.
Types of Bicycle Accidents
Unfortunately, with so my cyclists, cars and pedestrians sharing the road, accidents are an all too common occurrence. A bicycle accident can involve a collision with a car, truck, pedestrian, or motorcycle. Auto-bike and bike-pedestrian collisions are exceedingly common at intersections. Away from intersections, an automobile driver may be completely oblivious to a cyclist sharing the road and strike the cyclist from behind.
Slower moving children or elderly people are especially at risk for being struck by a car. A bicycle accident may be caused by an unsafely maintained road or unmarked traffic hazard. Estey & Bomberger, LLP has successfully brought claims against state, county, and city agencies responsible for road maintenance and upkeep. A bicycle accident could also be caused by a defectively designed or defectively manufactured bicycle.
In some cases, a bicycle accident could be the fault of a negligent cyclist. San Francisco cyclists have the same rights to share the road as motor vehicles but must also adhere to all traffic laws.
