Bike Accident Attorneys in Encino and Southern California
The California vehicle code provides that, under many conditions, a bicyclist has the right of way and that other motor vehicles on the road need to respect that right. After an accident, this can often be the critical factor in determining liability. Understanding bicycle safety, however, can help bicyclists avoid accidents and stay safe while on the road, even when sharing that road with negligent drivers.
At the Los Angeles law firm of Rosenstock & Azran, our lawyers have more than 30 years of experience and have helped thousands of accident victims recover compensation for medical bills, lost wages and other expenses. If you have already been in an accident, we can advise you as to your rights and your best options to get the help that you deserve.

Bicycle Safety in Los Angeles
Bicycle safety tips that may be able to keep you safe on the road include:
- Riding on the right side of the road and traveling with the flow of traffic
- Avoiding the "door zone," where you could be injured by the swinging door of a parked car
- Wearing a reflector vest and adding a light or other reflectors to your bike
- Obeying all safety laws, including stop signs and stop lights
- Signaling properly
While these tips can help avoid many accidents, they still happen even when a cyclist is being completely safe. Negligent drivers cause many accidents every year and deserve to be held accountable for their actions.
