Helping Individuals in San Francisco Pursue Compensation for Bicycle Accident Injuries 

Riding a bicycle in and around San Francisco can be an extremely fun and enjoyable activity. However, it also poses certain risks and dangers. 

One of the inherent risks associated with riding a bicycle anywhere is that bicycles offer their riders extremely limited protection. With the exception of their bicycle helmets, riders do not have an outer shell or other protective covering to serve as a buffer between themselves and the ground. If the cyclist is involved in a collision with another vehicle and the cyclist falls off the bicycle and onto the ground, he or she could suffer extremely serious injuries in the accident. 

Even when a bicyclist wears a helmet, the helmet could crack in an accident, and the cyclist might still suffer one or more serious injuries. 

If you have been injured in a bicycle accident, the San Francisco bicycle injury lawyers at The Cartwright Law Firm, Inc. are here to help. Our legal team will determine who or what caused your accident and could assist you with pursuing monetary compensation from the at-fault driver and/or the driver’s motor vehicle insurance company. Please speak with us today to find out more about how we can help you pursue monetary compensation in your bicycle accident case.
