Santa Ana Bicycle Accident Attorneys

Proving Damages After a Bicycle Accident

You must seek legal counsel after a bicycle accident because insurance companies and the defendant will try to prove that you were at fault to avoid providing compensation for your injuries. Our dedicated lawyers will immediately work to gather all the necessary evidence to strengthen your case. Some of this evidence may include:

• Eyewitness testimony;
• Photos of the accident;
• Any video footage of your accident;
• The police report;
• Testimony from accident reconstruction experts; and
• Illustrations and timelines of the accident.

Our goal is to prove the car/truck driver’s negligence to get you the compensation you deserve. A car/truck driver may be found liable for negligence when the driver breaches their duty of care while operating a vehicle. This breach may include:

• Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol;
• Driving while distracted;
• Making illegal turns;
• Driving over the speed limit, and failing to follow other rules of the road; and
• Engaging in other unlawful or reckless behaviors.
•  

You must not sign or accept any settlements from insurance companies before consulting with an experienced bicycle accident attorney. Accepting such settlements without consulting your attorney could result in low-ball offers that may not include damages you are entitled to, including future medical expenses, emotional trauma, or pain and suffering.

How Much Is My Bicycle Accident Claim Worth?

Your past and future medical bills, cost of treatment, and/or pain and suffering will determine the amount of your claim. Other factors that can influence the amount of your claim could also include:

• The amount of income lost while incapacitated;
• Whether or not your injuries have affected your future earning capabilities;
• Whether or not you require home modifications to accommodate your injuries;
• Whether your injury caused life-long disfigurement, scarring, disability, or the loss of a bodily function.
