San Diego Bicycle Accident Attorney

Frederick M. Dudek frequently commutes to his law office in San Diego

Cycling accidents may present unusual legal issues that are different from an automobile case. Hill inclines, lines of sight, roadway (and shoulder) conditions, intersection crossings, distinctions among bicycle paths, lanes and routes, etc. may be very significant in a San Diego bicycle injury case. Common bicycle destinations, the absence of alternative routes, roadway signage and other factors may be critical in some cases. Prior accidents, warnings and location may be important in others.

Whether you commute on a bicycle during rush hour in the city, climb hills in a National Park on the weekends, compete in races, participate in charity fund raisers, tour the countryside or enjoy leisurely bike rides with your children, hiring someone with legal and cycling experience could be a tremendous benefit to you.
