Protecting Cyclists After a Serious Collision
An unsafe turn, an open car door, or a vehicle entering a bicycle lane can leave a cyclist with injuries that change daily life. Glendale Law Group represents injured riders in Glendale, Los Angeles, and across Southern California.
When a driver or insurer disputes what happened, we examine the road layout, vehicle movements, witness accounts, and available video. Our attorneys build the claim around the collision evidence and the injuries it caused.
You should understand how the case is being presented and what decisions lie ahead. We explain the insurance issues, the documentation needed, and the options for pursuing compensation.
Document the Injury Beyond the Emergency Room
A bicycle injury claim should account for the full course of recovery. Treatment records, follow-up evaluations, and work restrictions can show effects that were not clear at the scene.
- Head injuries and concussions
- Neck, back, and spinal injuries
- Fractures and joint injuries that limit movement
- Road rash, scarring, and other soft-tissue injuries
- Pain, emotional distress, and difficulty with work or daily activities
Your healthcare providers determine the care you need. We use the medical record and other evidence to explain how the collision affected your health, income, and independence.

Preserve the Bicycle, the Video, and the Witness Accounts
Damage to a bicycle or helmet can help explain an impact. Preserve both, along with clothing and original photographs or recordings, and obtain advice before repairs or disposal. Nearby business cameras or a witness’s phone may hold evidence that is available only briefly.
We investigate responsibility and pursue compensation for medical expenses, lost earnings, reduced earning capacity, and pain and suffering. If fault is shared or disputed, the claim needs a precise account of each person’s conduct.
