Law Firm in San Diego: Estey & Bomberger, LLP
After sustaining severe injuries in a bicycle accident caused by another party, wrongfully injured parties are encouraged to consult a professional San Diego bicycle accident lawyer regarding their potential rights to compensation. Although most bicycle accidents do not involve motor vehicles, in an accident between a bike and a car, the bicyclist frequently suffer severe, and sometimes even fatal injuries.
Research shows that bicyclists consistently receive less compensation than car accident victims who sustained similar injuries. Car accident claimants often have representatives from their own insurance company helping them recover compensation from the other party, but bicyclists are often unaware of their rights and less equipped to secure their rightful compensation.

Bicyclists are much more vulnerable to the dangers of the road than occupants of a motor vehicle. With nothing more than a helmet protecting their heads, when riders become involved in accidents, the injuries can be catastrophic, incurring thousands of dollars in medical bills, lost wages, and other incidentals. Some injuries leave victims facing permanent disability and a reduced earning potential that will exacerbate the financial burdens caused by the bicycle accident. In such cases involving severe injuries, it is imperative to recover the total compensation you are entitled to.

By entrusting your case to an experienced bicycle accident lawyer, you can be assured that your rights will not be compromised, as a qualified attorney will have the legal skills and resources to make sure you receive the full and fair compensation you are entitled to. An attorney from an established firm will properly prepare your case, gathering the evidence, conducting private investigations, collecting police reports and other documents, recording witness testimonies, and consulting specialists to make sure all of your legal options are thoroughly investigated.

Having an experienced trial lawyer handling your bicycle accident claim can also benefit your case, as you will have the option to file a lawsuit when insurance companies refuse to take responsibility for your injuries. Because attorneys with a successful trial record can command larger settlements than less experienced lawyers, having an attorney who can defend your just compensation in court can make sure you recover all of the damages related to your San Diego bicycle accident.

If you have been seriously injured or lost a loved one in a bicycle accident, contact a San Diego bicycle accident lawyer today regarding your eligibility to file an injury claim. A knowledgeable San Diego personal injury attorney can help you assess the value of your claim, establish liability, and secure the full compensation you are owed.
