The Zwerdling Law Firm routinely represents bicyclists injured by negligent motor vehicle drivers. Humboldt County is a cycling paradise with many world-famous routes, and locals routinely use bicycles as an economical and environmentally conscious mode of transportation. Unfortunately, motor vehicle versus bicycle collisions can often lead to devastating consequences for the cyclist.
California Vehicle Code Section 21200 provides that all bicyclists share the same rights and responsibilities on the road as motor vehicles, and are required to follow the same rules regarding right of way, traffic flow, and traffic signs. Similarly, motorists must respect the rights of cyclists on the road. If you or someone you know has been injured while cycling in Humboldt County, reach out to The Zwerdling Law Firm for a free and confidential review of your case.
