Lake Elsinore Bicycle Accident Attorney
Cycling is probably one of the most complete cardiovascular workout you can give your body. Usually, the impact on your joints and body in general are minimal as well (compared to other cardio exercises like running). Cycling is one of the most popular ways to exercise in the world and is very popular in the Lake Elsinore area.
Unfortunately, due to the negligence of some operators of cars, biking can be dangerous. Many drivers just don’t pay attention to what is on the street ahead of or around them. Automobiles can be quite dangerous to a person riding a bike considering all of the distractions such as cell-phones, radios, children screaming in the rear seat that many drivers have to deal with. Although the automobile gives substantial safety to its driver, a bicycle doesn’t provide safety to its rider. Because of this, serious injuries and death can be the result of an automobile-bicycle accident. That is why it is so important to have an experienced bicycle accident attorney on your side.

People many times assume that a limb fracture is not a big issue. Get it set, go home and let it heal. There are several types of bone injuries and each has to be treated accordingly.
Compound fractures resulting from an automobile crash or a knee joint break that occurs when a pedestrian is hit by a automobile in a crosswalk is a serious fracture that can have long-term effects. The crushing bone injury to the ankle and leg that a motorcyclist’s receives when he or she is sideswiped by a car in a motorcycle accident can lead to serious disability. Even a broken wrist, finger or arm for a senior citizen after a fall in a nursing home can be complicated as healing takes longer than it does for a younger person.

Motorcycle riders, and the injuries they suffer as a result of an accident, are unique for several different reasons. Due to a lack of protection between riders, the road, and other vehicles, motorcyclists many times suffer very serious injuries during accidents. What might be a simple “fender bender” to someone in a full size car, can cause catastrophic injuries to a motorcycle rider.
Motorcycles are vulnerable to a unique set of risks on the road, meaning even the most experienced riders can crash. Motorcycle accidents can occur because of several factors, such as:
- Construction zones
- Road hazards
- Distracted drivers
- Motorists failing to yield the right of way
- Vehicle drivers changing lanes without yielding

The jarring forces of an auto accident can wreak havoc on the complex, criss-crossing structures of the back and neck. Even though the neck and back can absorb a lot of force, the forces resulting from a wreck may cause damage to many of those interconnected structures.
At Krasney Law, we know how painful and disabling a neck or back injury can be. We realize that a “minor” back injury often gets worse before it gets better.
From permanent injuries to soft tissue injuries, these are some of the more common neck and back injuries caused by an accident:

Lake Elsinore Pedestrian Accident Attorney
When a vehicle hits a pedestrian, the injuries can be very severe. Severe spinal, head, neck,paralysis, broken bones, or loss of a limb may all occur to pedestrians when they are struck by vehicles.
Often, the driver of the vehicle, or their insurance company, will try to shift the blame for the accident onto the pedestrian. Police often claim that the pedestrian was not inside the crosswalk when they come to the scene, as the pedestrian has fallen outside the crosswalk area. Insurance adjusters will many times affix the blame on the pedestrian, saying that the pedestrian should have noticed the car coming and got out of the way. Often it is harder to get an insurance company to pay for the injury to a pedestrian than it is to pay for the injury to a person inside a vehicle.

Lake Elsinore Slip and Fall Attorney
In the case of a slip or fall incident, the law doesn’t hold businesses responsible for the accident unless the company or its employees failed to meet a legal duty of care.
If you want to sue for an injury that happened at a business location, you must show that the business was legally at fault.
Slip and fall injuries can occur in many of ways. All business establishments can be sued for slips, falls, and collisions. The owners of a business may be sued based on poor hiring, supervision, or training of employees. Each state has its own laws that determine the standards of care that can apply in any personal injury case involving a business.
Courts understand that businesses can’t preclude every slip and fall accident from occurring. They require that businesses exercise the same amount of care as a reasonably prudent person would. This means guarding against foreseeable problems and taking reasonable precautions to prevent accidents. You can recover damages for most types of personal injury only if you can show that the business failed in these duties.
