Decades of Legal Representation for Injured Cyclists in Sacramento

A green car that hit a pink bicycleRoad biking is often used as a form of transportation or exercise, and mountain biking makes for great recreation. As the late president John F. Kennedy put it: “Nothing compares to the simple pleasure of a bike ride.”

But an increase in bicycle use means bicycle accidents can happen almost anywhere – roads and highways, parking lots, sidewalks, or private property. Nationwide, there are over 50,000 bicycle accidents each year and nearly 800 die from their injuries.

Because bicyclists are not shielded by thousands of pounds of metal and plastic like people in cars, bicycle accidents can cause devastating injuries. If you have been injured in a bicycle crash, from “road rash” to accidents resulting in catastrophic injury, our Sacramento bicycle accident attorneys can help.

Challenging Misconceptions About Bicyclists

Unfortunately, although bicyclists have the same right to be on the road as drivers of automobiles, they often get a bad rap, being unfairly blamed for bicycle accidents.

This is based on past prejudice where some cyclists have been seen riding on sidewalks, riding against traffic on the wrong side of the street, and rolling through stop signs or red lights. This prejudice and misconception can prevent cyclists from being treated fairly. As 19th Century author Louis Baudry D’ Saunier put it: “Cycling has encountered more enemies than any other exercise.”

Good things come to those who believe, better things come to those who are patient, and the best things come to those who don’t give up.

Bicycle Accident Statistics in California

In California, Bicycle fatalities increased 8.6 percent from 129 in 2012 to 141 in 2013. The number of bicycle related injuries has risen from 11,993 in 2009 to 13,213 in 2013.

California Bicycle Laws You Should Know

Under section 21200 of the California Vehicle Code, when you are riding a bicycle you are considered a “vehicle” and are bound by all rules of the road found in the Vehicle Code. Surprisingly, the California vehicle code also regulates the “size” of bikes. They must be small enough for the rider to step off, support with one foot on the ground, then start safely. (Vehicle Code sec. 21201 (c).

In addition, if you are struck by another motor vehicle while riding your bike, and the responsible party has no auto insurance, you may still be able to have your medical bills paid under the “med pay” provision of your own automobile insurance policy.

are Saying About Us.

  • I LOVE JOHN MILLER AND HIS STAFF

    “One of the main reasons why I love John Miller and his staff, especially Shannon, is because of the way they treat you. They treat you like human beings. I have not been able to find a law team that would take my case even with all my evidence... because I am low rent. John Miller and Shannon were the only ones who didn't treat me like I'm cheap and that I deserve all of these things just because of the fact of me being poor. They are always updating you on your case and keeps you abreast to all moving parts of the lawsuit. I hope this never happens to you or your family members, as all of mine have been affected, but if it does it's GREAT TO SEE AND KNOW THEY HAVE YOUR BACK and that you are working with people who REALLY CARE ABOUT YOU AND WHAT YOUR GOING THRU!!!!”

    S. Rausin

  • I had so many questions, concerns and he answered every one of them promptly and thoroughly.

    “John Miller is a phenomenal attorney. Mr. Miller went above and beyond what most attorneys do. I had so many questions, concerns and he answered every one of them promptly and thoroughly. I unfortunately was involved in a serious car accident that left me with a lot of medical bills and a ton of stress. When John was assigned to my case he spend endless hours (of his own time) preparing for settlement and then trial. Mr. Miller is very articulate, knowledgeable, kind and dedicated to his clients. I hope to never need a personal injury attorney ever again but if the circumstances ever presented themselves I would want John Miller by my side.”

    Deidra

  • He referred me to a great doctor and settled my case quickly.

    “I recently hired Mr. Miller in a bad car accident case. He did exactly what he said he would do to help me. He referred me to a great doctor and settled my case quickly. I just loved the fact that he was always available to answer any questions I had. He is wonderful!”

    Joe

  • This team was a blessing for me.

    “From the beginning of my first meeting with John himself meeting me after a doctor apt. Until the settlement of my case, I was treated with respect, dignity and compassion. John and his team always had MY BEST INTEREST in mind, I knew that the law firm went above and beyond with their representation of my case, this team was a blessing for me.”

    N. Kepa
