If you were hit while riding in Los Angeles, the next steps matter more than most people realize.
Start by getting medical attention—even if you think you’re fine. Document the scene if you’re able. Take photos, get contact information from witnesses, and file a police report. If the driver’s insurance company calls, don’t engage. They’re not on your side.
What happens in the hours and days after a crash can make or break your claim. At The LA Law Firm, we act fast to preserve evidence, request surveillance footage, and secure the reports that prove fault. The sooner we start, the stronger your case.
A well-built claim backed by a focused legal team can make a six-figure difference in your outcome.
Los Angeles isn’t built with cyclists in mind.
Bike lanes disappear, drivers treat them like parking zones, and high-traffic corridors like Venice and Sunset are frequent sites of collisions. Cyclists ride with far less protection than drivers, which means even low-speed accidents can lead to life-altering injuries.
And the legal landscape is just as tough. Police reports often underplay fault. Insurance companies push the blame onto riders. That’s why our team takes time to challenge assumptions, dig into scene evidence, and make sure your side of the story is heard.
One careless driver can change everything—but they don’t get to walk away from the damage they’ve caused.
Most bike crashes we see come down to visibility and negligence. Drivers claim they “didn’t see the bike” right before making a turn or opening a door into a rider’s path.
We frequently handle cases involving:
In every case, we look at the full picture. Was the city slow to fix a known hazard? Did the driver have a history of reckless behavior? We gather the facts and build a case that stands up to scrutiny.
A bicycle accident lawyer in Los Angeles can help you pursue full financial recovery—not just medical bills, but the long-term impact that follows a serious crash.
You may be entitled to compensation for hospital stays, physical therapy, and ongoing treatment. If you’ve missed work or can’t return to the same job, we factor that into the claim. Pain and suffering matters, too. Not just what you’ve gone through physically, but how it affects your daily life.
We’ve also represented families in wrongful death claims after fatal bike crashes. In those cases, compensation can cover funeral expenses, lost household income, and emotional loss.
Insurance companies won’t offer this upfront. That’s where we come in.
Liability isn’t always obvious—especially in bike crashes.
Drivers often claim the cyclist was weaving or riding “too fast.” But that’s usually just deflection. We break down what actually happened. Sometimes a negligent driver is to blame. Sometimes the city failed to fix a dangerous road. And in some cases, a product defect is part of the problem.
We move quickly to collect police reports, surveillance video, and witness statements. We work with traffic experts and crash analysts to show exactly how and why the accident happened.
When we show the facts clearly, fault becomes hard to deny.
Bike crash cases deserve real legal attention—not templates or case managers.
At The LA Law Firm, we focus on serious injury claims across Los Angeles. Our attorneys know the streets, know the courts, and know how to take on insurance companies who undervalue bicycle cases.
