Bicycle Accidents

Cycling should be safe. It should be healthy, freeing, and enjoyable.
But when a negligent driver changes that in an instant, the results can be devastating. A bicycle accident often leaves riders with serious injuries — broken bones, brain trauma, spinal damage, or worse.

If you or a loved one has been struck by a vehicle while riding a bicycle, you deserve justice — and you deserve a lawyer who understands what’s at stake.

I fight for cyclists who’ve been hurt — because I care deeply about the people I represent.

I’ve recovered millions of dollars for accident victims across California, including cyclists hit by careless or distracted drivers.
But my success isn’t built on volume. It’s built on personal attention and relentless advocacy.

I take on a limited number of cases so I can give each client my full focus.
That’s how I’ve built trust with everyone from fellow attorneys to teachers, firefighters, doctors, and everyday Californians who needed someone to fight for them.

When you hire me, you don’t get lost in a large firm system. You get me — fully committed to your recovery.

Common causes of bicycle accidents

Every bicycle accident is different, but most are caused by preventable negligence such as:

Drivers failing to yield to cyclists or running red lights
Opening car doors into cyclists’ paths (“dooring”)
Distracted or drunk driving
Unsafe lane changes or right turns without checking for bikes
Poorly marked bike lanes or dangerous road conditions

Cyclists have the same legal rights as any motorist. When a driver ignores those rights, I make sure they’re held accountable.

What you can recover

If you’ve been injured in a bicycle accident, you may be entitled to compensation for:

Medical bills and future medical care
Lost income and reduced earning ability
Pain and suffering
Emotional trauma
Property damage (bike, gear, equipment)
Permanent disability or disfigurement
Wrongful death (for families who’ve lost a loved one)

Insurance companies often try to blame the cyclist. I don’t let them.
I gather every fact, every witness statement, and every piece of evidence to prove the truth — and to secure the compensation you deserve.

How I handle bicycle accident cases

When you contact my office, I immediately:

Investigate the accident scene and obtain all police and traffic reports
Secure video, dashcam, or surveillance footage before it disappears
Work with top experts in accident reconstruction and medical care
Build a case that clearly shows fault and maximizes your recovery

If the insurance company doesn’t play fair, I’m fully prepared to take your case to trial.
That’s how I’ve earned some of the largest verdicts and settlements in California for accident victims.

No fees unless we win

You pay nothing upfront — I only get paid if I win your case.
Your consultation is free, confidential, and focused on one thing: helping you recover and rebuild.

If you’ve been injured in a bicycle accident, don’t try to face the insurance company alone.
Call me today, and let’s get you back on the road — safely, strongly, and with justice on your side.
