California Trial Lawyers for Bicycle Accidents
In California, people ride bicycles for any number of reasons. Road biking is often used as a form of transportation or exercise, and mountain biking makes for great recreation. But an increase in bicycle use means that bicycle accidents can happen almost anywhere — roads, parking lots, sidewalks or private property. Further, because bicyclists are not well protected, accidents can cause devastating injuries.
If you have been injured in a bike crash, the attorneys at Miller Law, Inc. offer effective representation. From simple bicycle accidents involving soft tissue injuries or "road rash", to accidents involving devastating injuries, paralysis or wrongful death, our trial lawyers handle these types of cases.
Bicycle Accident Injuries
Many of the injuries sustained in bicycle accidents are similar to the types of injuries sustained by motorcyclists in motorcycles. Bicyclists may experience brain and head injuries, neck and back injuries and fractures. Victims of bicycle accidents typically need extensive medical treatment and therapy, and may be unable to work for some period of time after the accident. The injuries may be lifelong and significantly alter their lifestyles and activities.
At Miller Law, Inc., we provide experienced and zealous advocacy on behalf of injured clients. Our attorneys' former experience defending insurers and other liable parties enhances their ability to vigorously represent those injured in crashes involving bicycles, as well as motorcycles and ATVs.
When Bicycle Accidents Happen to Children
Bicycle accidents that happen to children can be some of the most devastating for families. At Miller Law, Inc., we represent children and their families in bicycle accident litigation throughout California. We prepare cases thoroughly for trial so that judges and juries will gain a complete understanding of the impact a bicycle accident has had, on both the child and the parents.
Talk With an Attorney as Soon as Possible
It is important to talk with an attorney about your accident while things remain fresh in your mind. As time passes, memories fade and critical details can be overlooked. At Miller Law, Inc., we will take prompt action in bicycle accident cases. If necessary, we will interview witnesses and visit the scene of accident to record evidence before it is altered or forgotten.
Talking with a lawyer before you talk with a negligent driver's insurance company can also be critical to your success. Insurance companies often try to take recorded statements, which they may later use against you. Referring insurance companies to your lawyer is the safest way to protect your interests. In addition, not having to deal with insurance companies or their lawyers yourself helps provide you with peace of mind.
