Glendale Bicycle Accident Lawyers
Experienced Personal Injury Representation in the San Fernando Valley & Los Angeles County
Glendale, the San Fernando Valley, and the greater Los Angeles area have become increasingly popular for cycling thanks to beautiful weather, extensive recreational areas, and the rising trend of commuting by bike.
Unfortunately, this cycling growth has led to more bicycle accidents than in other regions. Mild, sunny days encourage cyclists to hit the streets and enjoy the many bike paths available, contributing to more collisions for cyclists sharing the road with motor vehicles.
Like motorcyclists, cyclists are highly vulnerable to severe injury in traffic accidents. Without the steel protection of a car frame around them, cyclists can suffer immense physical harm when being struck or thrown.
At Law Offices of Harout Balian, we are well aware of the impact such accidents can have, from serious physical injury to emotional trauma. The financial burden of medical expenses and lost income from being unable to work can add to the stress. We work vigorously to help our clients seek fair and just compensation through comprehensive personal injury claims.

Bicycle Accident Injuries
Bicycle accidents can result in multiple injuries, some of which can be severe or catastrophic. Head injuries are especially dangerous, ranging from concussions to traumatic brain injuries, often intensified by the lack of helmets or improper use.
Road rash can occur when a cyclist skids along the pavement during a fall; this painful skin abrasion can lead to nerve damage. Fractures are also common during bicycle accidents, with wrist, arm, leg, and collarbone fractures being among the most sustained. Additionally, soft tissue injuries, such as strains and sprains, can occur due to the impact of a collision.
Seeking Compensation for Bicycle Accidents
Bicycle accident victims can seek compensation for injuries when negligence or wrongdoing has occurred.
Compensation can often include:
- Medical expenses: Reimbursement for hospital bills, surgeries, rehabilitation, and ongoing treatment.
- Lost wages: Compensation for income lost due to time off work during recovery.
- Pain and suffering: Damages for the physical pain, emotional distress, and loss of quality of life caused by the injury.
- Property damage: Compensation for damage to the bicycle and any personal property involved in the accident.
To recover damages, your claim must establish that the at-fault driver was responsible for operating their vehicle safely and that they violated that responsibility, such as through traffic violations or reckless behavior. Additionally, it must be shown that the driver’s actions directly resulted in your injuries. The full extent of your injuries and their accompanying costs must be documented.
