Who Gets Sued in Bicycle Accident Cases?
While most of our cases are settled out of court, we may need to file a lawsuit on your behalf if you’ve been injured in a bicycle accident. Our lawsuits are usually filed against negligent drivers, property owners, bicycle manufacturers, or government entities.
A negligent driver is a driver who failed to uphold a basic standard of care and failed to behave as a reasonably careful person would have behaved in the same situation. An example of negligence is speeding, as reasonably careful drivers obey the speed limit.
If your bicycle accident claim or a lawsuit is successful, you may be compensated for:
- Past and future medical bills
- Loss of wages
- Loss of earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Property damage
If a bicyclist is killed while cycling, the cyclist’s family may file a lawsuit alleging wrongful death against the at-fault driver. Wrongful death damages may include:
- Any income the deceased would be reasonably expected to have earned
- Funeral and burial costs
- Compensation for losing the support and companionship of the deceased
What to Do After a Bicycle Accident in Richmond
Bicycle accidents can leave you feeling hurt and disoriented. If you don’t require immediate medical attention for severe injuries, do your best to stay calm and follow these steps following a bike crash:
- Stay at the accident scene: Don’t leave the scene of the accident.
- Call the police or California Highway Patrol: It’s important that you do this because a police report can go a long way toward ensuring you can recover the financial compensation you deserve for your injuries.
- Collect information: Get the insurance information, contact information, license plate number, and driver’s license details from any drivers involved. Get the contact information of any witnesses present.
- Gather evidence: Take videos or photos of your damages, injuries, and the scene of the accident. Ask the police for a copy of the police report.
- Be careful as to what you say: Anything you say at the scene of the accident can be used against you. Don’t apologize or admit fault.
- Seek medical treatment: Do this as soon as possible, even if you don’t think you’re hurt. Injuries sometimes take a while to make themselves known. If you wait too long to have them documented by a healthcare provider, insurance companies can refuse to pay you for your injuries, claiming they weren’t caused by your accident.
- Call Nadrich Accident Injury Lawyers: Studies show that injury victims who are represented by personal injury lawyers receive much more financial compensation than those who are not, even after taking lawyers’ fees into account.

Do I Need a Richmond Bicycle Accident Lawyer?

We are deeply familiar with insurance company tactics. Insurance companies have a lot of tricks they use to devalue or deny bike accident claims. We’ve seen them all, and we know how to deal with them. We’re also deeply familiar with the California Vehicle Code and how it relates to your bicycle accident.
