26+ Years of Experience as a Bike Accident Attorney Serving Anaheim

The Paris Firm has represented clients who were injured in bike accidents in Anaheim Since 1994. Our founder, attorney Eric Paris has obtained compensation for cyclists who were injured by the negligence, carelessness, or recklessness of motorists. Bike accidents in Anaheim can be fatal, and the lack of protection a cyclist has makes riding on public streets especially dangerous.

Bicycle accidents often result in permanent and life-changing injuries. Many bike accident victims do not realize that compensation is available. Even if you were injured in a single-vehicle bicycle accident or were the victim of a hit and run, you should talk to a skilled and experienced personal injury lawyer attorney serving Anaheim to find out about potential compensation.

Getting Compensation for Your Bike Accident Claim

Bicycle accident injuries are often severe and can be life-altering. Adequate compensation is compensation that will pay for all of the costs of your injuries, even if those costs are ongoing for the rest of your life. You may be able to recover for economic non-economic damages including:

Physical and mental pain and suffering
Diminished quality of life
Medical expenses and future medical expenses
Lost income, future lost income, and lost earning capacity
Home health care and custodial care

Do You Need a Bicycle Accident Lawyer?

If you were riding your bike and ended up injured in a collision with a car or truck, you might assume that the driver will be found at fault and that you will be able to collect compensation with a simple insurance claim. Unfortunately, it’s rarely that simple when it comes to bike accidents. The insurance companies fight hard to pay far less than you deserve, or to avoid paying anything even if you were in the right.

If you were injured in a hit and run accident, an Anaheim bike accident attorney can help you pursue every avenue of compensation. There may be insurance coverage available to you even if we cannot locate the driver. In a single vehicle and hit and run bicycle accidents there may be factors such as defective bicycle parts or roadway defects that can open up avenues of compensation for your injuries in accidents where victims are often under the impression that no compensation is available.

We Have the Experience That Gets Results

With most bicycle cases in which the police find the cyclist at fault, the insurance company usually denies the claim. We don’t take no for an answer. We ignore the insurance company’s denial and file a lawsuit to aggressively pursue the rights of our client to present their claim for injuries. Our results speak volumes about our experience and success for our clients.

Common Causes of Bicycle Accidents

When bikes and cars collide, negligence on the part of the driver is often to blame. A driver can also cause a bicyclist to crash while performing evasive or irresponsible maneuvers, without a collision with their car. Common forms of driver negligence and wrongdoing which lead to bicycle accidents include:

Drivers who violate bicyclists’ right of way
Distracted drivers
Drivers who do not know the rules of the road regarding bicycles
Drivers who choose not to share the road
Drivers who fail to signal when turning or pulling out from the curb
Drivers who open their car door into the path of a bicyclist
Unsafe passing of a bicyclist
Intoxicated drivers

Other common causes of bicycle accidents include:

Improperly marked or poorly designed bike paths and bike lanes
Defective bicycle or parts
Other roadway defects, such as potholes, malfunctioning traffic signals, or faulty streetlights
