Bicycle Accidents

San Francisco Bicycle Accident Lawyers

San Francisco cyclists are a hardy, dedicated bunch of people: active in the community, knowledgeable about San Francisco biking laws, and generally conscientious about wearing reflectors and watching out for their own safety. 

A good many motorists are not nearly so careful. Car and truck drivers regularly engage in reckless actions that put cyclists at risk. And every year dozens of bicycle riders are injured or killed because car or truck drivers.

• Drove too close or into the bike lane
• Changed lanes into the path of a bike, especially when making right hand turns
• Stopped suddenly

At the San Francisco law office of Choulos Choulos & Wyle, our personal injury attorneys represent bicyclists (and motorcyclists) and their families after serious accidents resulting in injury or death. Our attorneys are also cyclists. They know what to look for when investigating a bicycle accident and how to tell when a motorist hasn't been completely forthcoming in their testimony.

If you or a loved one has been injured in a bicycle accident in the Bay area, contact Choulos Choulos & Wyle to talk with an attorney who really understands. If your injuries prevent you from traveling, we'll meet you at home or in the hospital to discuss your case.

We Are Here to Protect You (NOT an Insurance Company)

Insurance companies will frequently try to get injured people to accept a quick settlement. Often they are successful. People with serious injuries have lost wages, may be unable to work, and are facing a significant amount of medical bills. It's understandable that they want compensation quickly. But a quick settlement is often not in your best interests.

Willing to Negotiate, Prepared to Litigate

It's important to have all the facts first. Choulos Choulos & Wyle attorneys prepare each case as if it will go to court. This means we investigate to be sure we have all the facts and a clear understanding of the true value of your bicycle accident case.

What a Serious Bike Accident Injury Costs

While your case may be negotiated or settled out-of-court, our work ensures you get the money you need after a serious injury. When a bicyclist is knocked to the ground, even if he or she was wearing a helmet, brain injuries, fractures and lacerations, and spinal cord injuries are common. We work with experts, economists and life care planners to understand the current and future costs of medical treatment, physical therapy, medication, medical equipment and lost income.
