El Cerrito Bicycle Accident Attorneys

Bicycle accidents can be particularly catastrophic, and our attorneys are prepared to guide you through the process. Whether you are suffering from physical or emotional injuries or have lost income due to an inability to work post-accident, you should not have to continue to suffer. If you or a loved one have suffered injuries from an accident, we encourage you to seek help sooner than later.

Types of Bicycle Accident Cases We Handle

If someone else caused your accident, our personal injury firm is here to represent you. Our El Cerrito bicycle accident attorneys have successfully represented clients in all types of cases, pursuing the maximum compensation available through both insurance claims and, when necessary, personal injury lawsuits.

• Impaired driving bicycle accidents: If a California motorist struck you and appeared to be impaired, our attorneys can help you pursue a claim against the driver to the fullest amount.

• Distracted driving bicycle accidents: If the driver who hit you was texting, eating, or otherwise distracted, our attorneys will work to prove that the driver’s negligent driving caused your accident.

• Hazardous conditions: Poor road conditions, defective auto or bicycle parts, and many other hazards can cause bicycle accidents.

No matter the circumstances, our attorneys will evaluate the facts of your case, determine whether you have grounds for a claim, identify the liable parties, and craft a claim to help you walk away with the compensation you deserve.

Pursuing Compensation for Your Bicycle Accident

Our experienced and compassionate legal team will assist you in seeking compensation for the physical, emotional, psychological, and financial damages stemming from your bicycle accident. You can seek to recoup “compensatory damages” for the following types of losses:

• Past, current, and future medical expenses incurred as a result of your injury 
• Lost wages and reduced future earning potential due to lasting or permanent disfigurement 
• Physical pain and suffering stemming from the accident 
• Emotional and psychological distress  
• Permanent disfigurement or disability  
• Reduced quality of life 
• Property damage

In some cases, you may wish to pursue a claim for “punitive damages.” Punitive damages may apply if the opposing party acted in a malicious or egregiously reckless manner. Our attorneys will evaluate your case to determine whether you have grounds to seek punitive damages, which can substantially increase your compensation award.

The loss of a loved one is devastating, particularly when someone else’s negligence is to blame. Our firm is proud to represent the family members of accident victims. We will apply our extensive knowledge and negotiation strategies to help you pursue compensation for your loss. At the same time, we understand that no amount of money can bring your loved one back, so we treat all of our clients with the utmost compassion and care.
