Building a Strong Case: How We Establish Fault and Seek Just Recoveries

Determining the value of your e-bike accident claim starts with a detailed investigation into how the crash happened and the full extent of your damages. We go far beyond the information in a typical police report, gathering extra evidence such as e-bike GPS and speed data, surveillance videos, independent witness accounts, and expert accident reconstruction.

Our team calculates current and future damages, including:

• Medical expenses
• Rehabilitation costs
• Lost wages
• Diminished earning capacity
• Property damage
• Pain and suffering

We account for the lasting effects of severe injuries common in e-bike crashes, such as internal injuries, brain injuries, broken bones, shoulder and knee tears, and neck and back trauma.

We are honest with our clients about the potential value of a case. While we do not promise specific outcomes, we give an honest assessment based on the evidence and our experience handling similar claims.

Dedicated Attorneys with Big-Firm Experience and a Small-Firm Approach

Founding partners Daniel McGee and Catherine Lerer have extensive experience at large firms, yet they chose to start a small, client-centered practice. This focus allows us to give each client personal attention and direct contact with the attorney handling their case. You are not just a case number. You are a priority. We take our client’s accidents personally and we treat our clients like family members.

Our experienced legal team works tirelessly to provide thorough, strategic representation. Every case benefits from the insights of attorneys, investigators, and former insurance adjusters who understand accident victims’ challenges.

By keeping our caseload manageable, we can provide the focus and dedication your case deserves, from the initial consultation through resolution.

E-Bike Riders Injured by Motor Vehicles: Navigating Complex Liability Issues

Collisions between e-bike riders and cars are among the most severe and disputed types of accidents. Common situations include drivers turning left in front on an approaching e-bike rider, veering right into the rider’s lane, or exiting a driveway or parking lot without first verifying that there are no approaching cyclists.

In these situations, the e-bike rider can seek compensation through the driver’s auto insurance. If the motorist is uninsured or underinsured, the biker might be able to get coverage through their own policy, depending on their benefits.

California’s comparative negligence laws can complicate fault disputes. Our attorneys work to prevent unfair blame shifts by conducting thorough investigations and presenting evidence to establish liability.

E-Bike and Pedestrian Collisions: Addressing the Challenges

Accidents involving e-bikes and pedestrians raise unique liability issues. Often, pedestrians misjudge the speed of an approaching e-bike, or an e-bike veers into pedestrian paths. The injuries that result can be serious for both parties.

An injured pedestrian might be able to file a claim through the e-biker’s insurance policy. In hit-and-run cases or when the at-fault party doesn't have enough coverage, claims can be made under the pedestrian’s uninsured motorist policy, if available.

We handle these cases with the sensitivity they deserve, making sure liability is correctly determined and injury victims—whether pedestrian or rider—have a strong advocate seeking fair compensation.

From Settlement Negotiations to Trial: Comprehensive Representation at Every Stage

While most e-bike accident cases settle through negotiations, we prepare each case as if it will go to trial. This approach strengthens our stance in talks and shows the insurance companies that we are prepared to litigate if needed.

We handle every part of the legal process, from collecting evidence and working with medical experts to negotiating with insurance companies for a fair settlement. In cases involving underinsured or uninsured drivers, we identify all possible sources of compensation to safeguard your financial future.

Our track record includes favorable settlements and verdicts for past clients. Although previous results do not guarantee future outcomes, they demonstrate our ability to secure significant recoveries in complex cases.
