California Bicycle Accident Lawyer

Cycling is a popular way to commute and stay active across California, but sharing the road with cars and trucks comes with real risk. A cyclist struck by a vehicle can suffer life-altering injuries even when wearing a helmet and following every rule of the road.

We represent injured cyclists throughout California, fighting the common assumption that the rider was somehow at fault. We document your injuries, establish the driver's negligence, and pursue the maximum compensation available under California law.

Common Causes of Bicycle Accidents

• Drivers opening doors into bike lanes ('dooring')
• Failure to yield when turning across a bike lane
• Unsafe passing and following too closely
• Distracted and impaired drivers
• Drivers ignoring cyclists' right of way
• Poor road conditions and unsafe intersections

Compensation You May Recover

If another party's negligence caused your injury, California law may entitle you to recover compensation for:

• Past and future medical expenses
• Lost wages and loss of future earning capacity
• Property damage, including your vehicle
• Pain, suffering, and emotional distress
• Rehabilitation and in-home care costs
• Loss of enjoyment of life

California's Deadline to File

In most California personal injury cases you have two years from the date of the injury to file a lawsuit. Claims involving a government entity may have a deadline as short as six months. Evidence also fades quickly, so the sooner you contact an attorney, the stronger your case will be.
