Compensation For Bicyclists Injured By Trucks

Because of the size and mass of a truck, any accident between it and a bicycle may be catastrophic or fatal. Trucking companies and their insurance carriers have representatives at the scene of the accident shortly after it is reported. You need the same kind of aggressive representation if you have been injured or if you have lost a loved one who was a bicyclist hit by a truck. Our attorneys can help you obtain the compensation you are entitled to for your injuries or loss.

The bike accident injury attorneys at Hiepler & Hiepler represent clients throughout California.

Proven Results In Bicycle Accidents

At the law firm of Hiepler & Hiepler, our experienced trial lawyers have achieved substantial verdicts and settlements for many of our clients involved in bicycle accidents, including a $12.5-million verdict in the wrongful death case of Garvin v. Seigel, and a substantial settlement in a wrongful death case of a hit-and-run accident by a drunk driver. Our proven results have made us champions for the injured within the bicycle community.

Common Injuries To Bicyclists Injured In A Truck Accident

Bicycles afford no protection. Even if a bicyclist is wearing a helmet, he or she can sustain severe injuries if hit by a truck, including:

  • Broken bones
  • Amputation
  • Paralysis
  • Spinal cord injuries
  • Back and neck injuries
  • Brain injuries
  • Catastrophic injuries
  • Death

Our attorneys thoroughly investigate your accident, collecting evidence to prove negligence on the part of the truck driver or the trucking company. We pursue all avenues of compensation to maximize your potential award. Our goal is to obtain the money you need to cover medical expenses, lost wages and other costs associated with your accident or with the death of your loved one.

We understand that this is a difficult time, and we are respectful of your situation and any emotions you may experience. We are with you through the entire process and will do everything we can to help.
