Folsom Bike Collisions
As a member of the cycling community, founding partner Mike Bomberger is committed to helping cyclists injured while riding their bike. Mike will use his extensive cycling knowledge to build a strong case proving the injured cyclist was not at-fault for the accident. Mike and the legal team at Estey Bomberger will use every available resource to help injured cyclists put the pieces of their lives back together following a devastating Folsom bicycle accident.
If you were injured as a result of being hit by a car, commercial truck, bus, trolley, motorcycle or train, you may be able to take legal action against the responsible party. Filing a personal injury claim allows you the chance to pursue monetary compensation for injury expenses. However, before compensation can be collected, you must prove the responsible party acted negligently or recklessly. Without the assistance of a skilled Folsom personal injury lawyer at Estey Bomberger, it can be difficult to prove negligence. Keep in mind; you will be going up against insurance companies who will do everything in their power to pay you as little as possible for your injuries. Our Folsom bicycle accident attorneys can help you prove negligence by conducting an accident investigation. During an investigation witnesses will be interviewed, medical reports will be obtained, and experts in the fields of accident reconstruction, engineering and forensics will be consulted.

Who is at Risk for a Folsom Bicycle Accident?
According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's (IIHS) 2008 bicycle accident statistics, 87 percent of bicycle fatalities were male. There is no real clear evidence on why male cyclist fatalities were astonishingly higher than female cyclist deaths. Some bicycle experts believe male cyclists are more likely to take dangerous risks when bike riding. The IIHS statistics also revealed cyclists over the age of 16 are more likely to be involved in a fatal bicycle accident. In 2008, approximately 86 percent of bicyclists killed in collisions were 16 years of age or older.
