Bicycle Accident Attorney

Bicycle Accident Attorney Los Angeles, CA

The injuries from a bicycle accident can cause trouble for the rest of your life, impacting your ability to work and care for your family, and sometimes, even mean that you can’t live independently anymore. If you were injured in a bike crash, you need a powerful attorney to help you get a fair settlement from the insurance company. Insurers often blame cyclists for the crash, saying that they didn’t pay attention to cars or weren’t looking out for their own safety. Our Los Angeles, CA bicycle accident lawyer can counter these claims and demonstrate how the driver who struck you was negligent and, therefore, responsible for the harm you suffered.

If you’ve been hurt in a cycling accident, you deserve fair compensation for all related medical care and your other losses. The attorneys at Choulos & Tsoi Law Firm have over 30 years of experience handling complex bike accident claims and recently secured a $1.3 million settlement for a client in a bicycle injury claim.

Get the Compensation You Deserve

Our personal injury attorneys investigate your accident, seeking evidence to prove that the driver who struck you was negligent. We establish that the driver had a duty of care for your safety on the roadway but abandoned it, and their negligence caused the accident, your injuries, and financial loss on your part. Then, we value the full extent of your losses, including current and future medical care, unearned wages from missing work due to your injuries, and property damage.

Bicycle accident plaintiffs are also entitled to money for their intangible losses, like pain and suffering from their injuries (which are often severe), loss of enjoyment of life (you may become disabled or have a more limited range of motion or abilities because of the accident) and emotional trauma (being struck by a car is frightening; many people also need counseling to help them overcome the frightening incident). Our lawyers consider all these losses when valuing your claim and fight to ensure you get the maximum amount for your claim.

Complications in Bike Accident Claims

One good reason to hire a skilled attorney for your claim is that experienced bike accident attorneys understand the hurdles between you and your money and have experience overcoming them. One major complication is that bike accident claims are often high, like a recent case we settled for $300,000. Insurance companies look closely at these settlements and resist paying large claims. We know what kind of proof is necessary to secure a six-figure settlement and have the right resources, like expert medical witnesses, to bolster your claim.

We only want to protect you, not the insurance company’s bottom line.
