Oakland Bicycle Accidents

Personal Injury Attorney in Oakland

Oakland has a large number of bicyclists, and the number is ever increasing. More and more individuals choose to use a bicycle to get to and from work, school and as a form of recreation and exercise. Children have used their bikes as their main form of transportation for over 100 years. Unfortunately, there are also a large number of bicycle accidents, even when the city creates bike lanes and well painted crosswalks where children may ride across the street. The injuries that result from bicycle accidents are often severe, and in many tragic cases, fatal. If you or a loved one has been injured in a bicycle accident, it is critical to get legal representation from an Oakland personal injury attorney. As the injuries can be extensive and often life-threatening, the legal aspects of such cases are extremely important to the individual and the families.

Some of the types of serious or catastrophic injuries that can result from a bicycle accident include the following:

• Head injuries

Some bicycle accidents result in severe head injuries that can cause terrible damage to the individual and bring about long term problems such as cognitive disabilities, diminished abilities, memory loss, loss of control of body, and other severe symptoms.
