Pedestrian and Bicycle Accident

California Personal Injury Attorney

If you are a pedestrian or bicyclist and are involved in even a minor accident with a car, it can cause serious injuries. A crash that leaves only a small scratch on a car's bumper can cause permanent physical injury to you. Many people are not aware that their automobile insurance policy covers pedestrian/bicycle accidents. Even if you think your accident was minor, you should contact us at The Law Office of John A. Meaden, III for a free initial consultation.

Since 1977, our firm has represented people injured in pedestrian/bicycle accidents. Located in Walnut Creek, California, our firm has obtained immediate and long-term medical care and financial compensation for clients throughout the Bay Area. An experienced bicycle and pedestrian accident lawyer will educate you and guide you through the maze of negotiations, insurance requirements, and legal procedures.

It is important after any accident to consult a pedestrian and bicycle accident attorney before settling your claim with an insurance company. Many people are unfamiliar with the claims process and do not know that they can challenge an offer made by an insurance company. Insurance companies will often attempt to settle a claim at the lowest possible amount. Oftentimes, you can receive greater compensation for your injuries if you hire an experienced attorney.

You should not negotiate with an insurance company before you determine the full extent of your injuries. Before making a policy limit demand, you need to see how extensive and permanent your physical and emotional damages are. You have up to two years to file a claim against a private insurance company.
