Every bicycle accident has a story, and every injured cyclist deserves to be heard. At Thompson Law, we handle a wide range of bike-related crashes, each with its own challenges and legal considerations. Here are some of the most common situations we see:
A distracted driver glances at their phone and doesn’t see the cyclist in the lane beside them. Or a driver makes a careless turn without checking their blind spot. These crashes are often avoidable, and we work to hold negligent drivers fully accountable.
Getting hit is bad enough. But when the driver flees the scene? That adds a new level of frustration and uncertainty. We’ll dig into every available lead and check on alternative options like uninsured motorist coverage to help you recover what you’re owed.
Dooring accidents happen in an instant but can leave cyclists with lasting injuries. We investigate dooring cases closely and demand accountability from careless vehicle occupants.
Bicyclists are often forced to navigate confusing or poorly marked intersections where drivers don’t expect them. If bad design, lack of bike signals, or driver inattention played a role in your crash, we’ll uncover the root cause and build your case accordingly.
When a car veers into a designated bike lane, it’s not just a traffic violation but a direct threat to rider safety. We fight for injured cyclists who were hit in spaces that were supposed to protect them.
Sometimes, the problem isn’t another driver but the equipment. Faulty brakes, tires, or bike frames can lead to serious injuries. When product defects are involved, we go after the manufacturers and suppliers who failed to keep you safe.
Each case is unique. That’s why we build legal strategies tailored to your accident, your injuries, and your recovery goals. Speak to a bicycle attorney now for a FREE CASE REVIEW.

A bicycle crash can turn your world upside down in an instant. With a long road to recovery, you deserve a legal team that treats your case with urgency and care.
At Thompson Law, we understand that injuries don’t have to be catastrophic to be life-altering. Even “minor” bike accidents can lead to piling bills, lost time at work, and emotional strain. We fight to make sure those damages aren’t overlooked or dismissed.
Our team takes a hands-on approach and checks on every detail of your accident, working with experts, and building a case designed to get real results. You shouldn’t have to fight for fairness alone. Let us stand by you and demand what you’re entitled to. Call Thompson Law today for your FREE CASE REVIEW. We’re available 24/7, and you don’t pay unless we win.
We advise you to file a personal injury lawsuit within two years from the date of your accident. This timeline is compliant with California laws. However, if a government entity is involved (for example, due to poor road design or a city-operated vehicle), you may need to file a government claim within just six months.
California follows a pure comparative fault rule, which means you can still recover damages even if you were partly at fault for the crash. Your total compensation will be reduced by your percentage of responsibility. For example, if you are found 20% at fault and your damages are $100,000, you could still receive $80,000.
While California law requires cyclists under 18 to wear helmets, not wearing one doesn’t automatically prevent you from seeking compensation. However, it may affect the portion of damages you can recover if your head injuries could have been lessened by helmet use.
Thompson Law charges NO FEE unless we obtain a settlement for your case. We’ve put over $1.9 billion in cash settlements in our clients’ pockets. Contact us today for a free, no-obligation consultation to discuss your accident, get your questions answered, and understand your legal options.
State law limits the time you have to file a claim after an injury accident, so call today.
