Motor Vehicle Accidents
Bicycle Accidents
Bike lane collisions, dooring, and right-hook crashes involving cyclists.
California law gives cyclists the same rights and responsibilities as drivers, but cyclists have no physical protection in a collision. Bike accidents frequently cause severe injuries — including head trauma, broken bones, and road rash — and the medical costs can be substantial.
Common causes of bicycle accidents include drivers failing to share the road, opening car doors into cyclists (dooring), making right turns across bike lanes (right hooks), and driving distracted in bike-adjacent lanes. Our attorneys help injured cyclists pursue full compensation.

Cities We Serve — Bicycle Accidents
We represent bicycle accidents victims across California. Select your city to learn about local factors that contribute to these types of accidents.
Santa Monica, CA
Los Angeles County
Santa Monica has one of the highest rates of bicycle commuting in Los Angeles County, supported by an extensive network of bike lanes and the Marvin Braude Bike Trail along the beach. But the high volume of cyclists sharing the road with tourist traffic, delivery vehicles, and rideshare cars produces a significant number of bicycle collisions.
Long Beach, CA
Los Angeles County
Long Beach has been recognized as one of the most bike-friendly cities in America, with extensive bike lanes and the beachfront bike path connecting to the San Gabriel River Trail. But the city's mix of commuter cyclists, recreational riders, and heavy port-related truck traffic creates dangerous interactions.
San Diego, CA
San Diego County
San Diego's year-round cycling weather and extensive bike infrastructure make it one of the most active cycling cities in California. But the city's mix of beach cruiser traffic, commuter cyclists, and tourist drivers unfamiliar with local roads produces a high rate of bicycle collisions.
