Injury Bicycle Accidents in Los Angeles: What Riders Need to Know
Each year, hundreds of bicyclists are injured in crashes across Los Angeles. According to the California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS), Los Angeles consistently ranks among the highest cities in the state for bicycle-related injuries and fatalities. In 2022 alone, more than 1,500 bicyclists were injured or killed in Los Angeles County, with many of these incidents occurring in high-traffic intersections or areas lacking proper bike infrastructure. These alarming numbers underscore the persistent risk cyclists face and the urgent need for safer urban planning and driver awareness.
If you’re injured in a bicycle crash, it’s crucial to know your legal rights. A common FAQ among injury victims is: “Can I seek compensation if I was hit by a car while riding my bike?” The answer is yes—California law allows injured cyclists to file personal injury claims against negligent drivers. Compensation can cover medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and more. However, acting quickly is vital; victims typically have two years from the date of the accident to file a claim. Consulting with a qualified personal injury attorney can help ensure your rights are protected and maximize your chances of receiving fair compensation.
