Bicycle Accidents in San Jose

Bicycle accidents in San Jose are an ongoing concern. Cyclists are among the most vulnerable road users because they lack the protection of a vehicle. When struck by a car, riders often suffer catastrophic injuries.

Common injuries from bicycle accidents include:

• Broken bones and fractures
• Head trauma and concussions
• Internal injuries
• Long-term mobility issues

These injuries often require extensive medical treatment, physical therapy, and time away from work or school. Families can face significant financial strain as bills pile up. 

Working with a bike accident lawyer can help victims and their families seek compensation for medical costs, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

An experienced attorney can also investigate whether negligence—such as distracted driving, speeding, or failure to yield—played a role in the crash. 

In California, victims must act quickly because the law limits the amount of time to file a claim. Having skilled legal support ensures injured bicyclists understand their rights and take action before deadlines pass.
