Cyclists have the same rights to the road as drivers. If a negligent motorist injured you, we'll help you hold them accountable.
Bicycle Accidents
We represent cyclists injured by negligent drivers, unsafe road conditions and dooring incidents, and we work to show how the crash really happened.
- Unsafe passing too close to a cyclist
- Right-hook turns across a bike lane
- Drivers opening doors into a cyclist's path
- Failure to yield at intersections
- Distracted driving
- Potholes and poorly maintained roads
California Law
California's three-foot passing law
Drivers passing a cyclist traveling in the same direction must generally leave at least three feet of space, or slow down and pass only when it is safe to do so.

Often, yes. Your uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage may apply even though you were on a bicycle. We can review your policies.
