Fatal Hit-and-Run Bicycle Accident in Pomona

Bicycling is a popular mode of transportation in Los Angeles County. Crashes involving bicycles are not as common as other types of accidents, but they are far more likely to be serious and deadly in nature. According to statistics, bicyclists have a greater than 8 in 10 chance of being injured or killed in a crash. Bicycles offer no protection from the force and impact of a crash. Riders are usually ejected and thrown from the bikes as a result of the accident. This event further increases the chance of a serious injury occurring due to the crash.

California law gives victims the right to seek compensation when they have been injured in a collision. If you have lost a family member in a California bicycle accident, you could be entitled to file a wrongful death claim.
