Types of Bicycle Accident Injuries
Bicycle accidents tend to result in serious and even catastrophic injuries due to the fact that bicyclists are relatively unprotected. Even when wearing safety gear, such as helmets and protective clothing, bicyclists are still vulnerable due to the sheer size and weight of other involved vehicles.
Common injuries associated with bicycle accidents include:
- Road rash, bruising, cuts, and other severe abrasions
- Broken or crushed bones, possibly leading to amputation or disfigurement
- Spinal cord injury, possibly causing partial or full paralysis
- Traumatic brain injury or closed head injury
- Amputation injuries
No matter the details of your accident, our attorneys understand what you are going through. We can conduct a thorough investigation of the circumstances of the accident, including gathering relevant evidence, such as witness testimony. Our Los Angeles bicycle accident attorneys can then prepare a solid case to present in settlement negotiations or at trial.

Bicycle Accident Case Focus:
Smith v. MV Transportation, Inc (2022)
“Ciara was always nice to everyone, no matter if you were mean to her, she was always nice back.”
In the early evening of May 5th, 2017, thirteen-year-old Ciara Smith was riding bikes with a friend on their way home from a ride down to the beach. They reached the intersection of Pacific Coast Highway and Knob Hill Avenue in Redondo Beach, California at approximately the same time as a Metro bus driven by an employee of the subcontractor MV Transportation.
Both girls rode off the curb and entered the intersection just as the bus passed them on their left side. Ciara collided with the side of the oncoming bus, and was later pronounced dead at the scene. It was the tenth bicycling fatality in Los Angeles county that year.
As more details came to light, it became clear that the dangerous design of the intersection and the inadequate training of the bus driver rendered this not just a tragic accident, but a wrongful death.
