Injured In An Accident?

Home > Motor Vehicle Accidents > Pedestrian/Bike Accidents

I’m Here To Stand Up For You And Help Make Things Right

  • Here in Orange County, we’re used to dealing with aggressive, distracted drivers. The good thing is that most of the time, we’re at least in the relative safety of our own cars.

  • When you’re a pedestrian or on a bike, however, it’s a completely different story, and it’s fair to say that all bets are off. All it takes is a driver going too fast, failing to stop at an intersection, or checking a cellphone to hit a you and cause serious and even life-changing injuries.

  • If you were hit by a negligent driver, I can help make sure you get the compensation you need. I’m attorney Frank Nicholas, and I’ve spent decades taking on negligent parties and their insurance companies on behalf of injured people in Irvine and surrounding Orange County. I know that medical bills are usually just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the financial challenges that my clients face. Whether my clients need compensation for long-term rehab, missed pay, pain and suffering, or all three, I’m tireless in my work to even the score.

  • Common collisions involving vehicles and pedestrians or bikes include:

  • Crosswalk accidents, where a driver running a stop sign or red light or turning a corner too quickly hits a pedestrian or bicyclist who is already in the crosswalk
  • Drivers entering or exiting parking lots without first looking for pedestrians or bicyclists in the driveway
  • Drivers backing out of driveways and hitting children who are on the sidewalk or playing on the street

Bike Accidents Attorney

  • My firm is here to help. As more and more people are turning to bikes to commute, exercise or simply discover a new way to explore their cities, they’re seeing just how dangerous it can be when they’re in a crash with a motor vehicle. And physical injuries can be just the tip of the iceberg. When injuries make it impossible for people to work, the financial effects of a crash can be devastating.

  • Were you hit by a driver turning a corner when you were biking down the street?
  • Are you a recreational cyclist injured by a careless truck driver?
  • Did you suffer serious injuries?
  • Are you facing a mountain of medical bills and unsure how you’ll pay for it all?
When it comes to crashes involving bikes and motor vehicles, the law is on your side. The Three Feet for Safety Act, a new state law passed in late 2014, requires drivers to keep at least three feet of distance between themselves and bicyclists. When they fail to do so and a crash occurs, they can face fines and be liable for the injuries that result.

Electric Bike, Electric Skateboard, or Electric Scooter Accidents

Electric bikes (E-Bikes) and other electric recreational devices, such as electric skateboards (E-Skateboards/E-boards) and electric scooters (E-Scooters) are becoming more common and easily accessible to the public in Orange County. You may see them for sale in your local sports store, online, or even for rent in your nearest beach city. As their popularity and sales increase, so do the number of accidents, causing serious and even fatal injuries. These accidents may occur due to either neglectful drivers who collide with an electric device rider as well as careless or inexperienced riders who do not take into account the high speeds of their electric device. Whichever the case may be, no one deserves to suffer because of someone else’s reckless actions. You deserve an experienced legal advocate who will make your recovery and compensation their highest priority. You’ve found that legal advocate in me, attorney Frank Nicholas.
