Braff’s bicycle accident personal injury lawyers have the right experience and knowledge to handle complex cases where poor road conditions or faulty bicycle equipment contributed to your accident.

If your accident was caused by a pothole, uneven pavement, unmarked hazards or poor signage, we may pursue a claim against the city, county, or state responsible for road maintenance. If a defective bicycle part contributed to your accident, we may file a claim against the manufacturer or distributor under “product liability” laws. It’s essential to understand these cases often require in-depth investigation and strong evidence. This is why our dedicated team will meticulously examine every detail of your case to establish liability.

At Braff Law Firm, our bicycle accident personal injury lawyers understand solid evidence is crucial for building a persuasive case. We therefore employ a comprehensive approach to evidence collection.

Our team starts with an in-depth investigation of the accident scene, capturing photographs and gathering physical evidence if still present. We also collect all relevant medical records, documentation of your injuries, and all associated expenses. We work closely with law enforcement to obtain official accident reports. Our lawyers may consult expert witnesses (such as accident reconstruction specialists) to establish the facts of the case. Additionally, we obtain testimonies from eyewitnesses, if any, plus utilize video footage from traffic cams (or nearby security cameras) when available. Rest assured, your case will be managed by a dedicated team, focused on securing the best possible outcome for you.

Insurance plays a significant role in your bicycle accident case. Usually, the at-fault party’s insurance company is responsible for compensating you for damages.

However, dealing with insurance companies can be challenging, since they often aim to minimize payouts. Braff’s experienced personal injury lawyers know how to negotiate with insurance adjusters effectively, in order that you receive fair compensation.

In cases where the at-fault party is uninsured or underinsured, your own insurance policy may come into effect if you have appropriate coverage. The legal team at Braff Law reviews all insurance policy details and guides you through the claims process.
We operate on a contingency fee arrangement: you don’t need to pay attorney fees until we win your personal injury case and you receive your deserved compensation. Additionally, you might be eligible to obtain specific benefits from your own insurance company which may alleviate part of the financial strain caused by your incident.

In personal injury law, “negligence” is defined as “The failure of an individual or entity to exercise a level of care that someone of ordinary prudence would have exercised in the same circumstance.” For a bicycle accident, negligence can involve a motorist not paying adequate attention to their surroundings, disobeying traffic laws, or failing to give bicyclists their legal right-of-way. Actions such as speeding, driving under the influence, and distracted driving also constitute negligence.

At Braff Law, our experienced bicycle accident personal injury lawyers understand the nuances of proving negligence. We investigate each case thoroughly, ensuring the negligent party is held accountable for their actions. As local residents, we’re familiar with Los Angeles traffic conditions and cyclist rights; this gives us an edge in representing your case.

Yes. California adheres to the principle of “pure comparative negligence.” This means even if you were partially at fault for your accident, you could still claim compensation.

However, this compensation would be reduced by the percentage you were found at fault. For instance, if you were 30% at fault and your damages amount to $100,000, you’d be eligible to receive $70,000.

This process can be complex, so it requires experienced personal injury lawyers to help you. The dedicated team at Braff Law Firm advocates for your rights and strives to secure your maximum possible compensation, even if the accident was partially your fault.
