Our client was hit while riding his bicycle. He is a dentist who suffered significant injuries. He has recovered well and has returned to practicing dentistry.
Our client was hit while riding his bicycle. Proving liability was difficult as our client did not have a headlight on his bicycle, and he was not wearing a helmet. Although the impact was slight, our client suffered from headaches and memory problems. Numerous doctors saw him, and he underwent neuropsychological testing. Due to the issues of liability and differing testimony from the doctors, we resolved the case for $300,000. Our client was happy and is doing much better now.
Our bicycle accident lawyers are passionate about getting results for our clients. We treat every client on an individual basis, as we realize that no two bicycle accidents are the same.
If you choose us to represent you and your case, we work closely to develop a personalized approach for all stages of the process. We work on a fee-contingent basis, meaning you only pay us if we win your case.
Bicycle accidents typically result in extensive injuries and financial burdens for victims. We work to recover the maximum compensation possible. Recoverable damages in bicycle accident claims may include:
We pursue compensation for your medical bills, emergency treatment, surgeries, hospital stays, rehabilitation, physical therapy, and ongoing care. Our team works closely with medical experts to project your future medical needs, ensuring you're covered for long-term treatment related to your bicycle accident injuries.
A bicycle accident can impact a person's ability to work. We fight for compensation covering lost wages during recovery and any reduction in victims' future earning capacity. If your injuries prevent you from returning to your previous job or force you into early retirement, we calculate the long-term financial impact and seek appropriate compensation.
The physical and emotional trauma following an accident can be devastating. Our bicycle accident attorneys understand how to quantify these non-economic damages, ensuring your pain, suffering, distress, and loss of enjoyment of life are not overlooked.
Catastrophic injuries from bicycle accidents can lead to permanent disabilities or disfigurement. In these cases, we pursue compensation to cover lifelong care needs, home modifications, and the impact on bikers' quality of life.
When a serious bicycle accident injury changes a marriage or partnership, the injured person's spouse may have their own claim for loss of consortium—the companionship, affection, and support they've lost because of what happened. It's an often-overlooked part of a case, but it may matter because a life-changing injury affects more than the person who was hurt. It reaches the people closest to them, too.
Similar to drivers, cyclists also have laws and regulations they must follow. They also have rights and entitlements while cycling. In accordance with the California Vehicle Code:
California follows a comparative negligence rule, which means that even if you're partly responsible for your bicycle accident, you may still be eligible to recover damages. Don't let partial fault deter you from seeking the justice and compensation you deserve after a bicycle accident.
Bone Injuries: Fractures and broken bones are among the most frequent injuries in bicycle accidents. These injuries can involve extensive medical treatment, including surgeries and long-term rehabilitation.
Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBIs): Head injuries, including concussions and more severe traumatic brain injuries, are particularly common and dangerous in bicycle accidents. TBIs can have long-lasting effects on cognitive skills, memory, and quality of life.
Back Injuries: Herniated discs, fractured vertebrae, and spinal cord injuries can lead to chronic pain, limited mobility, or even paralysis. They commonly require extensive medical treatment, rehabilitation, and even lifestyle adjustments.
Amputations: In bicycle accidents involving large motor vehicles, victims may suffer injuries resulting in the loss of limbs. Amputations have a profound impact on a person's life, requiring extensive medical care, prosthetics, and often career changes.

In California, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims, including bicycle accidents, is normally two years from the date of the incident.
A skilled bicycle accident attorney can improve your chances of receiving fair compensation. They will investigate your accident, gather information, negotiate with insurance companies, and represent you before the court if necessary.
If you're involved in a bicycle accident with an uninsured motorist, you still have options for compensation. Your own uninsured motorist coverage (if you have it) might apply. A personal injury attorney can help explore all potential sources of compensation.
California adheres to a comparative negligence rule, which means you may recover damages even if you were partially at fault for the accident. Yet, your compensation may be reduced by your percentage of fault.
