How Lawyers Help Injured Cyclists


If you’ve been hurt in a crash while biking, our Santa Monica, CA bicycle accident lawyer can help you understand your legal options and support your recovery. At Choulos & Tsoi Law Firm, we’ve worked with many injured cyclists who didn’t know where to turn after a serious crash. Whether the collision involved a careless driver, an unsafe road, or a defective bike part, having the right legal support can make a big difference in how your case moves forward.

We Help Document The Full Impact Of The Crash

One of the most important parts of any case is showing how the injury has affected your life. From medical bills and time off work to physical therapy and emotional distress, we help put together a complete picture. Our cyclist injury lawyers will work with you to gather documentation like accident reports, medical records, and witness statements.

Our firm is known for being responsive, compassionate, and detail-oriented. With over four decades of legal experience in personal injury law, we’ve helped countless clients throughout California move forward after devastating bike crashes.

We Handle Insurance Companies So You Don’t Have To

After a wreck, you might hear from the driver’s insurance company or even your own. These calls can feel overwhelming, especially if you’re still recovering. Our bike wreck lawyers step in to speak on your behalf and handle all communications. We help make sure you’re not pressured into accepting a settlement that doesn’t reflect the true cost of your injuries.

We’ve seen how insurers attempt to minimize claims, and we know how to push back with clear, well-supported demands. If your claim needs to go to court, we’re ready to take that step too.

We Investigate What Really Happened

Many bicycle crashes happen because of driver negligence—speeding, taking unsafe turns, or engaging in distracted driving. But other factors, like poor road conditions or faulty bike equipment, may also play a role. Our Santa Monica bicycle accident attorneys can help you identify the responsible party and build a case based on evidence. This includes photos, video footage, police reports, and even professional opinions when needed.

We also understand that every case is personal. Injured cyclists often feel like their story is ignored or downplayed. That’s why we work closely with our clients to make sure their voice is heard.

We Pursue All Available Compensation

Our experienced bike accident lawyers don’t just look at your immediate medical bills. We consider the long-term effects of the injury, including future treatment, pain and suffering, emotional stress, and reduced quality of life. This can be especially important if you’ve experienced catastrophic injuries. If your bike or gear was damaged, we’ll include that too.

Our firm fights to recover compensation that reflects the full impact of the crash—not just what an insurer wants to offer. As trusted cycling accident lawyers who have recovered millions for our clients over the course of our careers, we’re committed to building strong cases and supporting our clients from the first call through resolution.
