Nipomo Bicycle Accident Attorneys
At James McKiernan Lawyers, we understand the risks bicyclists take when going even a short ride down the block. Children are particularly in danger because of their smaller size and underdeveloped safety instincts. If you or someone you love is injured in a bicycle accident, speak with the Nipomo bicycle accident attorneys at James McKiernan Lawyers for legal guidance.
Every year, more than 100 people are killed in bicycle collisions in California. Thousands more are injured. Many accidents are caused by lack of motorist attention — cyclists are at a serious disadvantage in a collision with a car, truck or motorcycle. A study conducted by the University of North Carolina and the U.S. Department of Transportation analyzed 750 motor vehicle and bicycle collisions.
