If a collision with a car interrupted your bicycle ride in Hayward, you could be entitled to financial compensation. At Nadrich & Cohen, a Hayward bicycle accident lawyer can help you file an insurance claim or lawsuit. We will help you navigate the financial recovery process and seek compensation for your injuries and the expenses and losses that stem from your injuries.
We can collect evidence, interview witnesses, and reconstruct the accident to prove its cause. Most personal injury cases will settle out of court, and we’ll work hard to settle your case too. When we represent you, our goal is to resolve your case with the best possible outcome for you. If we cannot resolve your case with an insurance settlement, we will not hesitate to take your case to court.
Our Bicycle Accident Investigation Will Aim to Prove the At-Fault Driver’s Negligence
Before we seek damages for you, we must prove that the at-fault driver’s actions caused the accident. To establish that their negligence, recklessness, or carelessness led to your accident and resulting injuries, we must prove the following elements of negligence:
- Duty of care
- Breach of duty
- Cause of injuries
- Financial damages
We may prove these facts via the evidence we collect on your behalf. The evidence tells the story of the collision objectively and helps our team and the at-fault party’s representatives understand the accident’s causes and contributing factors.
Our Team Will Build an Evidence File for You
We will not tax you or your family with obtaining evidence after your accident. Instead, your Hayward bicycle accident attorney will handle this part of your case for you. The evidence we collect may include:
- The official police report
- Medical records
- Witness statements
- Photos and videos
More than simply collecting evidence, we’ll also organize it and submit it to the at-fault party and their representatives. We can also prepare your evidence and relevant exhibits for the trial process, if needed.

No one ever expects to be injured during a bike ride. When an accident turns your life upside down, we can help you seek the financial compensation you are entitled to, so you can focus on physical rest and recovery.

Your Right to Compensation Has a Time Restriction
Per Code of Civil Procedure § 335.1, you generally have up to two years to file your personal injury or wrongful death lawsuit. In personal injury cases, the statutory clock starts running on the date of the accident. In wrongful death cases, it starts running on your loved one’s death date.
There may be exceptions to the statute of limitations, such as if the victim is a child. When our team represents you, we can explain how age and other factors can change the statute of limitations. We will also ensure compliance with the applicable statute of limitations and protect your potential lawsuit from dismissal.
