Bicycle Accident: Uncovering Bias, Securing Justice

The Harm

Two cyclists were riding lawfully when a truck suddenly swerved across multiple lanes of traffic and struck them from behind. The impact, captured on a dashboard camera, was violent—the cyclists were launched over the vehicle and sustained catastrophic injuries. Despite the clear video evidence, the defense downplayed the extent of their injuries and refused to offer fair compensation.

The Truth

Attorney Conor Hulburt exposed the defense’s strategy. In depositions, he revealed that the medical experts hired by the defense were not impartial—they were long-time consultants for insurance companies who regularly testified against injury victims. Their assessments relied on flawed assumptions and conveniently ignored the cyclists' documented symptoms and lived experiences.

Justice

As the trial approached and the truth became undeniable, the defense dramatically increased its settlement offer. The case resolved for a fair and substantial amount—one that recognized the full scope of the cyclists’ injuries and the life-altering impact of the crash.

If you or someone you love is facing something like this, you don’t have to navigate it alone. Request a free case review to talk with a San Diego personal injury lawyer about your options.

How a San Diego Bike Accident Case Works

01

Free Case Review

During your free case review, we listen to how the crash happened, how your injuries are affecting your life, and what questions you have. We review any photos, police reports, or insurance letters you already have and give an honest assessment of the strengths, challenges, and next steps in your potential bicycle accident case.

02

Detailed Investigation

Once you decide to move forward and the scope of work is signed, our team begins a focused investigation. In bicycle cases, that can include examining the crash scene, inspecting your bike and safety gear, reviewing police and traffic collision reports, obtaining dash-cam or traffic-camera footage when available, and interviewing witnesses. We work to secure key evidence early, before it’s lost or overwritten.

03

Expert Collaboration

To fully explain what happened and how it has affected you, we collaborate with carefully selected experts. Depending on the case, that may include accident reconstructionists, medical specialists, life-care planners, and economists. They help us analyze how the collision occurred, document the nature and extent of your injuries, and calculate the financial impact on you and your family.

04

Comprehensive Legal Strategy

Using the facts and expert input, we develop a tailored legal strategy for your bicycle accident claim. That includes identifying all potentially liable parties (such as drivers, employers, or public entities), understanding the applicable insurance coverages, and carefully assessing your medical bills, lost income, and non-economic harms. Our goal is to present a clear, evidence-based picture of what you’ve been through.

05

Settlement Negotiation

We handle communications and negotiations with the insurance companies and defense lawyers so you don’t have to. During this stage, we present the evidence we’ve gathered, respond to attempts to shift blame onto you as a cyclist, and push back against efforts to undervalue your injuries. Throughout negotiations, we keep you informed, explain any offers, and advise you on your options.

06

Litigation & Trial Representation

If a fair resolution cannot be reached through negotiation, we are prepared to file a lawsuit and take your case to court. Our trial attorneys have experience presenting bicycle accident cases to judges and juries, including addressing common misconceptions about cyclists. At trial, we tell your story through your testimony, witnesses, experts, and carefully prepared exhibits so the decision-makers understand the full impact of the crash on your life.

California Bicycle Accident Law: Rights, Liability & Deadlines

Bicycle accident cases in California can be more complicated than a typical car crash. Riders must follow certain rules of the road, but drivers, cities, and others also have legal duties to help keep cyclists safe. Understanding how fault, liability, insurance, and deadlines work after a bike crash in or around San Diego can help you make informed decisions about your next steps.
