Bicycle Accident Lawyer
Protecting the Rights of Injured Cyclists
Dedicated Legal Representation for Injured Cyclists
Bicyclists are among the most vulnerable road users. When a collision occurs between a bicycle and a motor vehicle, the cyclist almost always suffers the most severe injuries. At Frank Penney Injury Law, we understand the unique challenges cyclists face and are committed to protecting their rights.
California law gives bicyclists the same rights and responsibilities as motor vehicle drivers. When drivers fail to share the road safely, they must be held accountable. Our experienced bicycle accident attorneys fight to ensure injured cyclists receive full compensation for their medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages.

Common Bicycle Accident Injuries
Bicycle accidents often result in serious injuries due to the lack of protection for cyclists. Our attorneys have experience handling cases involving all types of injuries.
Traumatic Brain Injuries
Even with a helmet, cyclists can suffer concussions, skull fractures, and severe brain trauma that can lead to long-term cognitive impairment and disability.
Spinal Cord Injuries
The impact of a collision can damage the spine, potentially resulting in partial or complete paralysis and requiring lifelong medical care.
Broken Bones & Fractures
Arm, leg, hip, and rib fractures are common in bicycle accidents and may require surgery, hardware implantation, and extensive rehabilitation.
Road Rash & Soft Tissue
Severe abrasions can penetrate multiple skin layers, causing infections, scarring, and nerve damage that may require skin grafts.
Internal Injuries
Blunt force trauma can cause internal bleeding, organ damage, and other life-threatening injuries that may not be immediately apparent.
Facial & Dental Injuries
Impact with vehicles, pavement, or other objects can cause facial fractures, lost teeth, and permanent disfigurement.
