Bay Area Bicycle Law
Understanding your rights as a cyclist on the road is invaluable to your bicycle accident case. In the state of California, bicycle laws fall under the California Vehicle Code. Specifically, CVC 21200 states that all bicyclists more or less share the same rights and responsibilities on the road as motor vehicles. All cyclists must follow the same rules of right-of-way, traffic flow, and traffic signs as motor vehicle drivers – and likewise, motorists must respect the rights of cyclists on the road. If a motorist fails to respect your presence on the road, resulting in an irresponsible accident, they may be fully liable for your injuries – and you may have the right to pursue compensation for any resultant damages.

Sentiment Analysis
They were happy to discuss the case with me and gave me invaluable advice (for free) just after the accident to make sure I was keeping all the necessary records, etc.
They were confident in their ability to dismiss the police report and worked hard to put together eyewitness testimony.
Granted, patience is needed to emerge victorious in these cases, but I was very glad to have an advocate that cares about cyclists and continued to push for a better outcome for me.
Definitely worth contacting, and even though their cuts seem too high on the first glance, it is totally worth it.
Got free great advice on how to deal with insurance companies, liabilities with in 48 hours.
Luckily the police and paramedics were there almost immediately and the police (I discovered later) filed a police report that rightly put opening a car door into traffic as being the cause.
Once Michael took over my case things got settled fast.
Alvaro Andres helped me after an oncoming SUV turned left into me while riding my bike last October, resulting a separated shoulder and broken rib.
Kyle did a spectacular job handling my claim and we achieved a maximum outcome, better than the insurance policy limits (of the owner of the unleashed dog that crashed into my bike while I was riding on the Bay Trail).
While of course it is regrettable to be in an accident which requires legal representation, Michael and Michelle have built a culture of compassion and strong advocacy for cyclists.
