Bicycle Accident Injury Representation
Protecting cyclists injured by reckless drivers.
Cyclists face serious risks every day—often from careless drivers who fail to yield or check blind spots. At William W. Green & Associates, we represent injured bicyclists across California. Whether you were hit at an intersection, doored by a parked vehicle, or forced off the road, we fight to recover the compensation you need to heal and move forward.
Bicycle accidents often lead to serious injuries like fractures, concussions, or spinal trauma—especially in vehicle collisions.
Many crashes occur at intersections, in bike lanes, or due to distracted drivers failing to yield.
California law gives cyclists the same rights as motorists—but those rights are frequently ignored.
We hold negligent drivers and insurers accountable when careless behavior leaves cyclists injured or disabled.

HOW WE WORK
Frequently Asked Questions About
Bicycle Accident Claims.
Bicycle accidents are all too common—and often preventable. Here’s what cyclists and their families need to know about their legal rights:
What should I do immediately after a bicycle crash?
Call 911, get medical attention, and document the scene if possible. Get the driver’s info and take photos of your bike, injuries, and road conditions. Then, contact a lawyer before speaking with insurance companies.
What compensation can I recover as an injured cyclist?
You may be eligible for compensation for medical bills, bike repairs, future care, pain and suffering, and time missed from work. We’ll help calculate your damages and negotiate with the insurer.
What if I wasn’t wearing a helmet?
Not wearing a helmet may impact your case, but it doesn’t prevent you from filing a claim. We focus on the driver’s negligence and how the crash occurred.
Can I file a claim if I hit a pothole or unsafe road?
Possibly. If poor road maintenance caused your crash, the city or county may be liable—but you must act quickly, as government claims have short deadlines.
Do I need an attorney for a bicycle accident case?
Yes. Insurance companies often try to blame cyclists or downplay their injuries. We build a strong case, protect your rights, and don’t charge unless we recover compensation for you.
