Orange County Bicycle Defect Injury Attorneys

Accidents Caused By Defective Bikes

Not all bicycle accidents are caused by negligent drivers. Some are caused by the bicycle itself. At Aitken Aitken Cohn, our attorneys hold bicycle manufacturers accountable when their products cause harm to children or adults. We provide representation to accident victims in Santa Ana and throughout California in cases involving:

• Defective brakes
• Defective tires
• Defective gear shifts
• Defective frames
• Defective pedals

No matter what part of the bike was defective, we have the strength to take the appropriate action and seek compensation for the victim.

Bicycle Manufacturers are Unique Opponents

In typical bicyclist injury cases, in which the accident is caused by a negligent driver, our true opponent is the insurance company that provides coverage to the driver. In bicycle product defect cases, our opponent is the manufacturer of the bicycle or the bicycle part.

Bicycle manufacturers are unique opponents, because their motivation is different than insurance companies. Of course they want to avoid having to pay out compensation, as all businesses do. However, they have more than money at stake. If they lose the case, they worry that they will receive negative publicity that will hurt their business. They worry that they will be forced to recall other defective parts, and recalls are costly.

With more than three decades of experience on our side, we know how to take on bike manufacturers. Our goal is to make them provide compensation, and if there are similarly defective parts on the market, we want to have them removed so no one else is injured.
