Cycling is one of California’s most popular ways to commute, exercise, and travel, but with congested streets, distracted drivers, and inconsistent bike infrastructure, cyclists are among the most vulnerable people on the road. When a bicycle crash happens, injuries are often severe, life-changing, and overwhelming.
At Taban Law Firm, we understand the challenges cyclists face when dealing with insurance companies, law enforcement, and medical providers. Our legal team is committed to protecting your rights and securing the compensation you need to recover physically, emotionally, and financially.
Whether your injuries were caused by a negligent driver, dangerous road conditions, or a hit-and-run, we are ready to fight for you.
Drivers and insurers often try to shift blame onto cyclists, even when the motorist was clearly at fault. We conduct a thorough investigation to establish liability and protect your rights.
Common causes of bicycle accidents include:
According to the 2023 SafeTREC survey, California recorded 125 cyclist fatalities in 2021, underscoring the severe risks cyclists face every day on public roads.
Because bicycles offer little physical protection, injuries are often catastrophic, including:
In addition to physical trauma, many cyclists experience long-term psychological injuries such as PTSD, anxiety, and depression.
California law provides strong protections for cyclists. Key legal requirements include:
Vehicle Code §§ 21200–21212
Cyclists have the same rights and responsibilities as motorists when riding on public roads.
Vehicle Code § 21201
Bicycles must have working brakes, lights, and reflectors.
Vehicle Code § 21760 – The 3-Foot Rule
Drivers must give cyclists at least three feet of space when passing.
Helmet Rules
Mandatory for riders under 18; strongly recommended for all riders.
These laws help establish liability when a driver violates a cyclist’s right to safely share the road.
Your actions after a crash can significantly affect the outcome of your claim:
Seek medical attention immediately, even if injuries seem minor.
Document the scene, take photos of your injuries, the bicycle, the vehicle, and any road hazards.
Collect driver and witness information.
File a police report to create an official record of the incident.
Do not speak to insurance companies until you consult an attorney.
