School will soon be out for the summer, which means more youngsters and teens taking their bikes on the road. Unfortunately, CA consistently has some of the highest numbers of bicycle accidents and fatalities. Keep your child safe while biking this summer with these tips:

  • Studies show most biking accidents take place in urban areas. Lack of dedicated bike lanes and distracted drivers increase the risk for young cyclers. Help your children pick the routes to their friends’ homes or other locations they want to travel to that have the least amount of traffic.
  • Dress your children in brightly colored tops and tell them not to assume a driver sees them. Teach them proper hand signals for turning. Unfortunately, many drivers are not cognizant enough of their surroundings and may miss a small cyclist.
  • A large number of biking accidents happen at dusk. If your child or teen is riding at this hour, get them gear with reflective tape and equip their bike with reflectors.
  • Make sure your youngster travels with their cell phone with your number as the ICE (in case of emergency) contact. Instruct them what to do if they are involved in a biking accident. If they can, the first action should be to move out of the road to safety, call 911 and you.

In the case of a bike versus car accident, the bicyclist usually sustains more significant injuries. If your child is involved in a biking accident, take them to the emergency room, walk-in clinic, or their pediatrician as soon as possible after the accident, even if they don’t seem to have any serious injuries. Getting them evaluated medically will help detect any internal or other non-visible injuries, and record the care you may need in the future. An experienced attorney will explain your rights and help you decide the best course of action for your child’s case. If you have any questions regarding a bike accident and your child, don’t hesitate to contact us.

From the very start of my case the Tiemann Law Firm was wonderful. Perter came all the way to my home to sit down and talk to me about my options. He made me and my partner feel very comfortable and promised us he would take the very best care of my case. Peter kept me informed every step of the way and was always on top of things. everything was done in a timely manor and I always felt like I was the only case he was working on because he was so fast. In the end Peter got me back way more money than I ever expected. I would recommend this law firm to everyone. I am very happy with the outcome of my case thanks to the Tiemann Law Firm! Thank you!

I just saw my lawyer Jelena Tiemann on a t.v ad, which reminded me how much she helped when I was in a desperate situation. I just love her! That is why I feel a need to tell everyone. I had a situation that happened & didn’t know what to do, our where to go. I didn’t even know if she could help me or if any lawyer could. All I wanted was it to go away & was afraid most lawyers wanted to drag it out & possibly go to court. For one she was very professional but was very personable (maybe b.c she’s a lady). She didn’t make me feel embarrassed or self-conscious that I did something wrong or was the cause of the situation. She immediately said we should try our best before going to court. Let me handle some paperwork, if at the last we do go to court we have documents. She gave me all the details, pros and cons but reassured me she deals with these cases all the time. She came through and made it as painless as possible. I now have my life back.
