Responsabilidad por lesiones en bicicletas de alquiler

Many consumers think about renting a bike and have no idea how the process works or what is required from them. In addition, they fail to understand what the bike rental company is obligated to provide to them. But it will all make more sense when you think of it as renting a vehicle rather than just a bike. Most people have rented a car at one time or another. And they have precise expectations for the auto they borrow from the rental company.

When you rent a bike, it is much the same process, just on a slightly smaller scale. You are signing an agreement to use the rental company’s bike and saying you will use it properly and avoid damaging it. In return, you are being given a fully functional bike that should be safe for you to use under the conditions and in the manner specified in the rental agreement terms of the agreement. For example, you will only have one rider on a single-seat bike because that is what the unit was designed to transport safely.

Much like with a rental car, consumers have the right to expect that the rental company has provided the inspections and maintenance needed to keep the bike free from damage and issues that could pose a safety concern for the rider. However, when the rental company fails to deliver a functional and safe bike to a customer, the result is all too often a rental bike injury accident. If you have recently suffered a rental bike accident injury and believe that the company could be liable for your losses and damages, please get in touch with DTLA Law Group today for a free consultation with an experienced rental bike accident injury lawyer.

As you consider who could be liable for your rental bike accident injuries, it is critical that you understand the full scope of possible culprits. As previously mentioned, the bike rental company could be liable for the incident, but they are not the only ones who could be held liable for it. Other possible responsible parties could include:

• The bike manufacturer if the unit was defective, but the manufacturer failed to test and discover the issue before selling the bikes to consumers
• A company in the distribution chain could also be liable for your losses and expenses if they failed to return recalled units to the manufacturer if a defect was discovered
• If the bikes were being serviced or maintained by a third-party bike mechanic who failed to complete a repair correctly or overlooked an issue while inspecting the bike, they could be liable for your rental bike accident injuries

Of course, there are several other possibilities that, include other vehicle drivers, bike riders, or pedestrians in the area when the rental bike accident occurred. The staff at DTLA Law Group is here 24/7 to help you determine who is to blame for your rental bike accident injuries and if bike rental liability is an issue that needs to be pursued to secure the compensation you deserve for your damages and expenses.

The value of any personal injury lawsuit is based on the actual expenses and damages suffered by the victim. There are no pre-determined values for certain injuries or types of accidents. So, you will collaborate with the staff at DTLA Law Group to compile all allowable expenses for your claim. The most common items included in rental bike liability claims are:

• All current and future medical expenses to treat the injuries sustained in the rental bike accident incident
• The value of any personal property that was damaged or destroyed in the rental bike accident
• Your lost income or wages if the injuries sustained prevented you from returning to work until you were fully recovered
• Legal fees and expenses from DTLA Law Group for the preparation, filing, and litigation of your rental bike liability lawsuit

In claims where the victim suffered severe injuries and required extensive recovery time, it is possible to include a dollar amount to compensate for pain and suffering. Because this amount is more arbitrary, your legal team will assist you in selecting an amount that is fair and reasonable. Typically, they will refer to recent claims with similar injuries and circumstances to provide you with the most robust pain and suffering amount allowed for your damages.

The severity of an injury can vary based on the age and overall health of the victim. However, some injuries are typically considered severe because of their need for extensive medical treatment or their ability to alter the victim’s life or quality of life permanently. Some of the rental bike injuries that are often categorized as severe include:

• Shattered bones or compound fractures
• Soft tissue damage that includes damage or destruction of nerves
• Facial injuries to the eyes, ears, nose, mouth, or teeth
• Large lacerations or puncture wounds that include damage to internal organs or excessive internal bleeding
• Daños en el cuello, la espalda o la médula espinal
• Head injuries, including skull fractures, brain contusions, or other traumatic brain injuries

As a personal injury victim, the legal system allows you two years from the date of your injury to file a claim. If the case is not filed with the court, you will often lose the right to seek compensation for losses and damages from that event. However, you can file the claim as soon after the incident as you and your DTLA Law Group legal team feel the claim is ready to proceed.
