Bicycling is a healthy, eco-friendly way to travel, whether you are commuting, exercising, or simply enjoying scenic views. Unfortunately, bicycle accidents are a growing concern in busy cities.
Common injuries from bicycle accidents in San Diego can range from moderate to severe, and the extent of the damage will depend on how serious those injuries are. Even cyclists who wear protective gear and follow safe riding habits are vulnerable to severe injuries in crashes with motor vehicles. A skilled bicycle accident lawyer at CaseyGerry can help you deal with these accidents with client-focused care and experience.
Head injuries are some of the most serious outcomes of San Diego bicycle crashes. Even if you were wearing a helmet, this type of accident can result in a concussion or traumatic brain injury (TBI). CaseyGerry has handled 100’s of traumatic brain injury cases. CaseyGerry represented the family of former football star Junior Seau in a unique and complex case involving chronic traumatic Echophylopathy (CTE). CaseyGerry worked with the leading neurological experts in the country in Junior Seau’s case. CaseyGerry has an extensive history of representation of brain injured individuals and working with the top specialists in diagnosis and treatment of brain injuries.
TBIs vary in severity from headaches and confusion to life-altering conditions involving memory loss, cognitive impairment, and long-term disability. TBIs may require extensive medical care and rehab, impact your ability to work, and decrease your quality of life. If someone else’s carelessness or mistakes caused your brain injury, we are here to guide you through your legal options for pursuing the full support and compensation to which you may be entitled.
TBIs can leave victims at a considerable disadvantage because they can impact memory and make it difficult for a victim to recall the events of an accident. At CaseyGerry, we excel at investigating accidents and uncovering liability. If you feel like you cannot bring a claim because you cannot remember what happened, we may still be able to help you.
San Diego cyclists often suffer broken bones when crashes throw them from their bikes or pin them beneath motor vehicles. Arms, legs, ribs, collarbones, and wrists are especially vulnerable. Whether simple or complex, fractures can be painful and may even require surgery and lengthy recoveries.
If a bike wreck left you injured, we know how to help you document the full extent of your injuries and make sure the legal system accounts for every impact—physical, emotional, and financial.
Spinal trauma can be life-changing. San Diego bicycle wrecks that involve direct impacts on riders’ backs or necks may result in damage to their spinal cords, causing limited mobility, chronic pain, or even paralysis.
Spinal injuries often require long-term care, physical therapy, and ongoing medical expenses. At CaseyGerry, we focus on the details of your case so you can focus on recovery. We partner with medical professionals and specialists to make sure that any legal resolution considers your future needs.
Soft tissue injuries, including sprains, strains, bruising, and ligament tears, may not sound serious, but they can still cause significant pain and limit your ability to function. Whiplash, torn muscles, and nerve damage can all result from the force of a cycling crash and may take months to heal.
Insurance companies sometimes overlook these common injuries in San Diego bike accident cases, especially if there is no visible damage. It can be infuriating to struggle with injuries that others minimize. At CaseyGerry, we work diligently to ensure that all parties take your pain seriously and that your voice is heard throughout the legal process.
When a crash throws a bicyclist onto the pavement in San Diego, road rash injuries are common because the rider’s skin scrapes against the street. The abrasions range from minor scrapes to deep wounds that may become infected or require skin grafts. Lacerations and cuts can also result in lasting scars or nerve damage.
While these injuries can sometimes be superficial, they are often incredibly painful and require long recovery times. They can also leave permanent scars that impact your self-image and quality of life.
Some of the most serious injuries after a San Diego cycling accident are the ones you cannot see. Blunt-force trauma can cause internal bleeding, organ damage, or other life-threatening conditions. These injuries may not be apparent immediately, which is why it is essential to seek medical attention as soon as possible after any accident, even if you feel okay.
