Bicycle accident
San Diego bicycle accident attorney
Cyclists are exposed in a collision and often suffer serious injuries. We help you understand your options and pursue the compensation you are owed.
Help after a bicycle crash
A collision between a vehicle and a bicycle can cause severe injuries, and sorting out the causes and the insurance issues on your own is difficult. Whether or not you have decided to file a claim, it is worth talking with an attorney to understand your situation.
We work with people injured in bicycle accidents to evaluate the claim, deal with the insurance companies, and pursue compensation for medical care, lost income, and the lasting effects of the injury.
Why representation matters
Insurers know that handling a claim alone is stressful and that an unrepresented cyclist is easier to underpay. Having an attorney who understands how insurers evaluate these claims helps level the field.
Common questions
Bicycle accident FAQs
Do I have a claim if I was riding outside a bike lane?
Possibly. California's pure comparative negligence rule means you can still recover even if you were partly at fault, with your compensation reduced by your share. The details matter, so it is worth having your situation reviewed.
What compensation may be available?
Depending on your case, you may recover medical costs, lost income, property damage, and non-economic damages such as pain and suffering. We work to document every category of loss.
How long do I have to file in California?
Most California bicycle accident injury claims must be filed within two years, with shorter deadlines for claims involving a government entity. [CONFIRM: confirm the deadline that applies to your claim]

Verified 5-star Google reviews. Patrick Hollingsworth is named throughout.
Patrick assisted me in my case for over two years. He fought for me to obtain a very excellent settlement and treated me like a family member. I will absolutely use his services again and recommend him to my friends and family. Thank you, H&H team.
Mr. Patrick is an excellent attorney. Great communication, and he explains the process. He always responded promptly and worked around my work schedule. I was rear-ended by an underinsured motorist, but he still got me outstanding medical care and a settlement. Highly recommend!

I had no idea how I was going to handle my burn injury claim, so I reached out to Hollingsworth & Hollingsworth. I'm really glad I did. From the very beginning they went above and beyond. The team is understanding and empathetic, and they delivered a huge settlement for my injuries.
