San Jose Bicycle Accident Attorney

Much like pedestrians, bicyclists are too often ignored by other occupants of the road – and the results can be devastating. Bicyclists involved in accidents can suffer severe and sometimes catastrophic injuries. When other parties are at fault for causing these accidents, injured riders have the right to recover compensation.
If you or a loved one has been injured in a bicycle accident – or if you have lost a loved one in a bicycle accident – the Mitchell & Danoff Law Firm can help you seek compensation for your losses. Regardless of the type or severity of your bike injury, we are here to help you pay for any damages you suffered.

Bicycle Accident Injuries
Bicyclists in California have the same rights and responsibilities as drivers. Our attorneys are bike riders who understand the dangers of cycling. Bicyclists have every right to venture out onto the roads without fear of getting hit by a car or other larger, heavier vehicle. In many cases, drivers are simply not paying attention to what they are doing or to who else is on the road with them. We represent bicyclists who have been injured in a collision with a car or other vehicle, or as a result of a product failure or roadway defects.
Since bicycles offer no protection, bicycle accidents often result in catastrophic injuries or even death - sadly, the most common bike accident victims are young children.
We represent cyclists who have suffered any type of injury, including some of the most common:
- Broken bones
- Head injuries
- Neck, back and spinal cord injuries
- Serious injuries, including paralysis
The last thing you should be worrying about after a bicycle accident is where you will find the money to hire a good lawyer to fight for your rights.
