Bicycle Accident Lawyer in Glendale, Burbank, and Pasadena
Protecting Injured Cyclists and Securing Maximum Compensation
Cyclists face significant risks when sharing the road with cars, trucks, and buses. Even with bike lanes and traffic laws in place, drivers often fail to watch for people on bicycles. If you were injured in a bicycle accident in Glendale, Burbank, Pasadena, or anywhere in California, Tapanian Law, APC will fight to protect your rights and help you recover the compensation you deserve.
Common Causes of Bicycle Accidents
Many bicycle accidents are caused by driver negligence. Common scenarios we see include:
Drivers failing to yield at intersections
Unsafe lane changes or turns into bike lanes
“Dooring” accidents when parked drivers open doors into a cyclist’s path
Distracted or impaired driving
Speeding or aggressive driving
Poorly maintained roads or hazards
Raffi Tapanian investigates every case thoroughly, gathering evidence like traffic camera footage, police reports, and witness statements to prove liability.
Injuries Can Be Severe
Bicycles offer little protection against motor vehicles, which means accidents often result in serious injuries, including:
Broken bones and fractures
Head and brain injuries, including concussions and TBIs
Spinal cord injuries
Severe cuts, bruises, and road rash
Internal injuries
We work closely with medical professionals to document the full impact of your injuries and calculate the costs of ongoing care.
Damages You May Recover
California law allows injured cyclists to pursue compensation for:
Medical bills and rehabilitation costs
Lost income and reduced earning ability
Pain and suffering
Emotional distress
Bicycle repair or replacement
Our goal is to ensure you receive a settlement or verdict that fully accounts for your financial losses and personal hardship.
