Bicycling is a growing part of California’s culture and transportation landscape. From Los Angeles and San Diego to San Francisco and Sacramento, thousands of Californians rely on bikes for commuting, recreation, and exercise. While biking supports sustainability and fitness, it also comes with real risks. Across the state, bicycle accidents involving cars, buses, trucks, and rideshare vehicles continue to result in serious injuries and fatalities.
If you or a loved one has been hurt in a bicycle accident anywhere in California, a skilled California bicycle accident lawyer at Benji Personal Injury can help. Our legal team understands the unique legal and medical challenges facing injured cyclists and offers compassionate, results-driven representation throughout the claims process.
Attorney Daniel Benji and the team at Benji Personal Injury are known across California for their expertise in handling serious bicycle accident cases. With a record of success in both settlements and trial verdicts, our firm advocates aggressively for cyclists who have been harmed by negligent drivers, unsafe road conditions, or defective bike components.
We know how to investigate bike crashes from every angle, including analyzing police reports, traffic footage, eyewitness testimony, and vehicle damage. Our goal is to hold all responsible parties accountable and to ensure you receive full compensation for:
- Medical bills and hospital care
- Ongoing therapy and treatment
- Pain and suffering
- Lost income and reduced earning capacity
- Property damage to your bicycle and gear
Whether you were hit by a car while riding through a city intersection, doored while biking past a parked vehicle, or thrown from your bike due to unsafe pavement, we are prepared to help.
Following a bike crash, it’s vital to protect your health and legal rights. Here are the steps our attorneys recommend:
- Seek Immediate Medical Attention: Even if your injuries seem minor, medical documentation is essential.
- Call Law Enforcement: A police report can help establish fault and serve as key evidence.
- Document the Scene: If possible, take photos of the accident site, your injuries, damaged property, and vehicle involved.
- Collect Contact Information: Get names, phone numbers, and insurance information from drivers and witnesses.
- Avoid Admissions of Fault: Don’t speculate or say anything that could be used against your claim.
- Call a California Bicycle Accident Lawyer: Let our legal team handle communications with insurance companies and fight for the compensation you deserve.
Many bike accidents are caused by driver negligence. Common scenarios include:
- A car making a right turn across a bike lane
- A driver opening their door into a cyclist’s path
- Distracted driving (e.g., texting while driving)
- Speeding or aggressive driving near cyclists
- Failure to yield at intersections or stop signs
- Unsafe passing distance
In some cases, local governments or third parties may be responsible due to:
- Poorly maintained or designed roads
- Lack of bike lanes or signage
- Defective bike parts or safety gear
We evaluate every angle to identify all liable parties.
Cyclists often suffer catastrophic injuries because they lack the protection of a vehicle. We regularly represent clients with:
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)
- Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
- Broken bones and fractures
- Internal bleeding and organ damage
- Road rash and severe lacerations
- Amputations
Our firm connects injured clients with top medical specialists and ensures they receive ongoing care and support throughout their recovery.
The statute of limitations for personal injury claims in California is generally two years from the date of the accident. However, there are exceptions:
- Claims against a public agency (e.g., if a city bus hit you or a dangerous road caused your crash) require a government claim to be filed within six months.
- Injured minors may have longer to file, with the clock starting at age 18.
- Delayed injury discovery can extend the deadline if the harm wasn’t immediately known.
Do not delay. Early legal representation ensures evidence is preserved, deadlines are met, and your rights are protected.
When you hire Benji Personal Injury, we handle every aspect of your case, including:
- Accident investigation and fault determination
