Police should be contacted to take a report in any bicycle accident, however, this is more crucial in an accident which involves serious injury or death. Police will then conduct an investigation as to the cause of the accident, and typically a police report will be available 7 to 10 days after the accident, although, frequently accidents which involve a death may take longer.
With California Bicycle Accident Lawyers you will be able to find the one responsible for the injuries you have suffered and hold the person accountable. If there is a defect in the design or any part of the bicycle which potentially caused the accident, the manufacturer may be held liable. If the bicycle rider was wearing helmet protection and it turns out the helmet was defective, and failed to provide the protection as anticipated by the wearer, the manufacturer and/or the retail merchant may have liability. Additionally, if a bicycle was recently repaired, and it is determined that the repairer was negligent and failed to exercise a proper inspection of the bicycle by the repairer, and that turns out to have caused the accident, the business that did the repairs may be liable for the accident. If the accident is caused by a defective part, it is imperative that you preserve that part and provide it to your attorney to have it properly inspected by an expert.
