City of Ontario Bike Accident Attorney

After being injured in a bicycle accident, seek the legal support of a qualified attorney you can depend on.

As a city that boasts of amenities comparable to the City of Los Angeles without the expense, the City Ontario, California is a prosperous region. Ontario prides itself as a community where residents will want to live, work, and play. Consequently, the region is abundant in locals who commute via bicycle. Regrettably, cyclists who commute in the City of Ontario, California are prone to traffic accidents.

Bicycle Accident Victims Have a Right to Seek Reparations

Like many other regions across Southern California, the City of Ontario is bustling with bicycle enthusiasts who ride their bike to work, school, or for sport. Throughout the years, the City of Ontario has established a system of pathways and bicycle lanes that effectively facilitate and promote rider safety. Still, hundreds of cyclists are injured every year as a result of reckless drivers. A cyclist who has been injured on the road has the legal right to seek reparations from the negligent driver who caused the accident.

With many years of dedicated experience, Attorney Justin H. King works hard to ensure victims obtain the maximum amount of compensation available. If you or a loved one has suffered as a result of a bicycle accident caused by a reckless driver, consider seeking the legal counsel of Attorney King today.

Causes of Bicycle Accidents in the City of Ontario

Like other traffic accidents, bicycle accidents can occur for a wide variety of reasons. In a majority of the cases, however, driver negligence is usually the primary cause. Unfortunately, many bicycle accident victims often find themselves having to defend their case in an accident. This is because there is a stigma surrounding cyclists, as many are accused of purposefully placing themselves in harm’s way.

In spite of this, it is important to know that even if a police officer’s report has placed full blame on the victim, the victim may still be able to recover compensation. This is made possible as a result of California’s comparative negligence law, which allows a victim to recover restitution even if he or she has been found partly responsible for causing the accident. Instead of being able to recover a full compensation, however, the victim will only be able to recover the amount discounted by the percentage he or she was found to be at fault.

Nonetheless, even when a police officer’s report has placed blame on a cyclist, a thorough investigation of the scene can show otherwise. There are many methods in which a cyclist can suffer injuries as a result of another’s negligence. The following are a few examples of common causes of bike accidents in the City of Ontario, California.

Dangerous Roads and Intersections

A major contributing factor to bicycle accidents across the City of Ontario is that of dangerous roadways or intersections. While the City of Ontario has built a network of bicycle lanes and other pathways, dangerous conditions continue to exist, ultimately placing cyclists at risk of serious injury or even death. The following conditions can lead to an accident:

  • Overgrown brush, making cyclists practically invisible to oncoming traffic,
  • Lack of bicycle lane in areas where cars are allowed to park,
  • Steep downhill inclines,
  • Deteriorated roads, and
  • Construction zones

The American Journal of Public Health reports that roads that have bicycle lanes reduce the risk of serious injury to a cyclist by up to 50%. Lanes that are protected reduce the risk of injury to cyclists by up to 90%. Unfortunately, bicycle lanes in the City of Ontario are not readily available everywhere, and cyclists run the risk of serious injury whenever they are on the road.

A cyclist who has been injured as a result of an inadequately maintained road, it is possible to seek reparations from the City of Ontario or the appropriate government agency. The agency responsible for maintaining the road where the accident took place can be held accountable for the victim’s injuries. In this scenario, however, it is important to be cognizant of California’s statute of limitations as it pertains to personal injury claims against government agencies. In California, a claim made against a government agency will have to be filed within six months from the time of the accident.

Negligent Motorists

As aforementioned, careless drivers are the main cause of bicycle accidents in the City of Ontario. Coupled with hazardous roadway conditions, an inattentive driver can easily collide with a cyclist. The following are other ways in which a driver can lead to a bicycle accident: Driving at excessive speeds, Failure to yield, Driving while impaired, Driving with a broken headlight, and/or Driving while fatigued.

In the State of California, drivers have the legal obligation to drive safely. When a driver is found to be driving recklessly or is otherwise negligent, he or she can be held accountable for the victim’s damages.

William Smith

Mr. King helped us cope with an injury caused by an auto accident. Throughout the process he showed great integrity, intelligence, wisdom, and the right amount of aggressiveness to get the job done. He conducted himself as a real gentlemen. Finally, he was easy to stay in contact with, was not handing us over to assistants or lower-level attorneys to keep us out of his hair. You dealt with him personally the whole way through, and he was honest about what he thought was reasonable and realistic, and what was a strategy that science and medicine could support. (We have science/medicine backgrounds.) We came out of the process with an excellent outcome so that we could try to keep our lives on the same path as before the injuries, and he always tried to reduce the stress by reaching out to us along the way. We are very pleased that we selected Mr. King and recommend him most highly!

Injuries Typically Caused As a Result of a Bicycle Accident

Bicycle accidents have the potential to cause very serious injuries, mainly because cyclists are greatly exposed to harsh environmental elements. Without much bodily protection, a simple accident can have devastating consequences. Common bicycle accident injuries can include: Road rash, Broken bones or fractures, Neck injuries, Spinal cord injuries, Traumatic brain injuries, Disfigurement, and/or Loss of limb or amputations.

Following a Bicycle Accident, Speak to a Qualified Attorney

Each year, cycling accidents lead to immense medical expenses. When a victim has suffered an accident while riding his or her bike, the party that caused the accident can be held accountable for the victim’s medical expenses.

Wow! I can't say enough good things about the Law Offices of Justin King. Attitude starts at the top, & this firm is top tier. They represented me (& yes we won!) for an injury I sustained while riding my motorcycle westbound on the 10. Someone changed lanes without looking, which resulted in a knee injury, a lot of physical therapy, & a totaled motorcycle. I wasn't sure what to do or if this were even something worth pursuing. I found Justin's webpage & sent a quick message to him on a Saturday night then thought nothing of it. My first call from Justin was Sunday morning. I was immediately impressed. After hearing a bit of my story & asking a few questions I was ready to have Justin represent me. My first question was "How much do I need to come up with to get this started? Justin replied, you don't owe anything until we win. Not unless, until. That set the tone of the next 2 years of my life. As your case progresses it'll require work from you & a whole team working to represent you. Staci will call & let you know she's emailing documents that require signatures; Garrett will call to ask for details they need to understand & yes, he will call to remind you that you forgot to sign a document 3 days earlier. These are great people who genuinely care. They will take time to understand your needs & they communicate every step of the way. If you are injured, you need to call Justin & his team right away. You will not be disappointed!Google only allows 5 stars, but these guys deserve 10!

Last July I was struck by a falling case of liquor at Total Wine in Rancho Cucamonga which led to a slip and fall. My friends and family urged me to contact a lawyer after discovering I needed surgery to repair my broken wrist. A friend found Justin King on Google. Justin was compassionate, accessible, and took charge from the very first meeting. He was able to obtain the surveillance video capturing the entire incident, and made an appointment for me to see a prominent neurologist after the video showed the case struck the front of my head. The entire staff at The Law Offices of Justin H. King were very easy to work with, and I always felt like my case was getting personal attention. Thank you Garrett, Staci, and Leoni! My case went to mediation and settled for more than 3x what they originally offered. If you have been injured in an accident, I highly recommend The Law Offices of Justin H. King.
