We are proud to have over 200 5-star reviews

This firm is 100% reliable and trustworthy.

No question about it, this firm is 100 percent reliable and trustworthy. I felt very comfortable about continuing my case with this firm based on the first impression they gave me: professional.

Jose L.

Extremely competent and really cared about our family.

The law firm provided us complete guidance and direction in our legal matter, but at the same time, they didn’t make our decisions for us. It sure was nice to have confidence in knowing we were going to be taken care of.

Andrea and Larry W.

This firm has a great reputation, even amongst other lawyers.

I was referred to by a lawyer friend and had Richard Cohn as my attorney. He was personable and compassionate, and took his time explaining everything to me. His assistant was also very personable and easy to contact.

Bicycle Accidents Can Cause Severe Injuries

Data available for the California Office of Traffic Safety reveals that in the most recent reporting year, there were 155 bicyclist fatalities and over 11,300 injuries across the state. Bicyclists are particularly vulnerable in accidents, as even wearing a helmet offers limited protection against the impact of a vehicle. At Aitken * Aitken * Cohn, our injury attorneys frequently assist clients who have suffered serious injuries in bicycle crashes, including:

  • Broken and dislocated bones
  • Deep bruising and road rash
  • Amputations and crush injuries
  • Traumatic brain injuries
  • Concussions
  • Open head or facial wounds
  • Spinal cord injuries
  • Severe back or neck injuries
  • Internal organ damage and internal bleeding
  • Significant swelling in disfigurement
  • Emotional and psychological trauma

Bicycle Accidents in Orange County: Local Risks and Insights

Orange County’s scenic bike paths, like those along Pacific Coast Highway and the Santa Ana River Trail, attract thousands of cyclists yearly, but they also pose risks. In 2023, Huntington Beach reported over 200 bicycle accidents, with 15% involving distracted drivers (source: California Office of Traffic Safety). Intersections like Brookhurst Street and Adams Avenue in Costa Mesa are notorious for “right-hook” collisions. Additionally, Orange County’s e-bike regulations (Ordinance No. 21-008 in Irvine) require cyclists to follow specific rules, which our attorneys use to establish liability. As active supporters of local cycling advocacy groups, Aitken Aitken Cohn is committed to keeping Orange County’s roads safe. Learn more about our personal injury practice.

Important Questions to Ask An Orange County Bicycle Injury Lawyer

Bicycle Accident FAQ’s

After a bicycle accident in Orange County, prioritize your safety and health. Seek immediate medical attention, even if injuries seem minor, as medical records are critical evidence. Document the scene by taking photos of the accident site, your injuries, and any property damage, if it’s safe to do so. Report the accident to the police to ensure an official report is filed, and provide your statement. Avoid discussing fault or signing any documents from insurance companies without consulting an attorney. Contact an experienced Orange County bicycle accident lawyer at Aitken Aitken Cohn to protect your rights and guide you through the legal procession.
An Orange County bicycle accident lawyer from Aitken Aitken Cohn can assist by investigating your case, gathering crucial evidence like police reports, video surveillance, and eyewitness statements, and establishing liability. We manage negotiations with insurance companies to secure fair compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering. If necessary, our experienced attorneys will represent you in court to maximize your recovery. With over a billion dollars won for clients, our team ensures your case is handled with expertise and compassion.
In California, the statute of limitations for filing a personal injury claim, including bicycle accidents, is generally two years from the date of the accident. If you miss this deadline, you may lose your right to compensation. Certain cases, such as those involving government entities or minors, may have different deadlines. Consulting an Orange County bicycle accident attorney at Aitken Aitken Cohn as soon as possible ensures your claim is filed on time.
Victims of bicycle accidents in Orange County may be entitled to economic damages (e.g., medical expenses, lost wages, and property damage), non-economic damages (e.g., pain and suffering, emotional distress), and, in cases of extreme negligence, punitive damages. Our attorneys at Aitken Aitken Cohn work diligently to secure maximum compensation for all your losses, including future medical costs and diminished quality of life, based on the severity of your injuries.
Orange County sees over 1,000 bicycle accidents annually, with cities like Huntington Beach, Santa Ana, and Anaheim reporting high numbers. Common causes include distracted driving, failure to yield, speeding, and “dooring” (when a motorist opens a car door into a cyclist’s path). Poor road conditions, like potholes, also contribute. Our team at Aitken Aitken Cohn helps victims navigate these complex cases to hold negligent parties accountable.

Bicycle accidents can result from collisions with vehicles, buses, motorcycles, and other incidents. It is crucial to seek immediate medical attention for your injuries and to contact an attorney to help you obtain the compensation you deserve.

  • Casey R. Johnson, Partner: A former competitive cyclist, Casey combines his passion for cycling with legal expertise, having won cases involving complex liability disputes in Irvine and Newport Beach.

Understanding California Bicycle Laws

Under California Vehicle Code Section 21200, cyclists have the same rights and responsibilities as motorists, but drivers often violate these rules, leading to accidents. For instance, failing to yield at intersections (CVC 21800) is a common cause of collisions in Orange County. Our attorneys leverage these laws to build strong cases, ensuring negligent parties are held accountable.
