Silverthorne Attorneys Handles Injury Cases in San Bernardino.
In San Bernardino, California, bicycles are governed by the same rules and laws as other vehicles. This also applies to accidents and/or other crashes and the injury law that often goes along with such crashes. Because of the lack of a vehicle around someone who is involved in a bicycle crash, the chance for injury, or worse, is much greater than that of other vehicle crashes. When you have a bike accident, remember that a bike accident lawyer will usually be a good advocate for you if you intend to seek damages.
You Need Legal Help When You are Injured.
The bike safety rules for the County of San Bernardino are extensive. Yet, they are clear and easy to follow. In fact, most cyclists are quite safe on the road, and the danger comes from inattentive drivers of other vehicles. That’s why it’s a good idea to contact a bicycle accident lawyer in San Bernardino County if you or someone you love is injured or killed in such an accident.

We Can Help You in San Bernardino County, California
The State of California’s laws regarding accidents include a concept known as “shared fault.” Shared fault is also sometimes called “comparative fault.” What it means is that it’s possible for both parties to be some percentage liable for an accident. At one end of the spectrum, there’s a case where a driver is texting while driving and swerves into the path of a cyclist riding on a designated bike trail. At the other, there is a bicyclist under the influence who zigzags through traffic and gets hit. Generally, a judge, or possibly an arbiter, will decide who’s at fault and how much. These considerations will affect any amount you receive in damages if any. A bicycle crash lawyer will be able to explain the vicissitudes of such fault determination, so contacting one should be your first step after an accident with a bike even if you don’t think you’ve had a bicycle injury.

What kind of damages might you be entitled to receive? In most cases, there are two kinds of damages that judges, arbiters, or juries award: compensatory damages and punitive damages. Compensatory damages include things like healthcare costs, lost wages, future wages that you’ll lose by being disabled, travel expenses, and the like. The lost wages for being disabled count even if you’re only temporarily disabled. Compensatory damages also include pain and suffering. For all of these reasons, it’s smart to see a doctor to be thoroughly examined for any and all possible injuries and to receive documentation from that doctor proving the findings. An injury attorney in San Bernardino County will usually have a partnership with a doctor just for this purpose.

Punitive damages are separate. The most famous example in California, or possibly even in the world, is Grimshaw v. Ford, which is the infamous “exploding Pinto” case. The passenger in the car, named Grimshaw, was grievously injured and received compensatory damages. Ford also had to pay more than $100 million in punitive damages to the class of people who had been injured by poorly designed Pintos.
