Steven,

Thank you for reaching our in regards to your case. Bicycle accident, unlike many other personal injury cases require the correct review of your medical treatment and injuries. It is important that you seek proper medical attention for your damages, to make sure you are properly compensated.

In most cases insurance companies will try and settle your case for pennies on the dollar. They usually try and get to you before you reach an attorney so that they can settle the claim for a fraction of its value.

I am happy to meet and discuss wit you further. Remember, if we decide to accept your case we will handle the doctor appointments and make sure you see the very best specialist for your case. That way we can build a better picture of your injuries so that we can present a solid case and receive the maximum amount for your damages. Do you have a number where we can reach you? Or you can contact our offices direct at 310-770-7309 to discuss. I look forward to hearing from you.

You are right with regards to going forward. Make sure to not give any recorded statements without first getting your own lawyer. Also, make sure to check the lawyer's rating and qualifications before you hire one. Many lawyers claim to be competent but have never done a jury trial. Lastly, these cases are handled on a contingency basis. Meaning you don't pay attorney fees until you win, and then you only pay a percentage from your winnings.

Get better soon and good luck. If you need a free consultation feel free to contact my office.
