Founded in 2011, the Santa Monica bicycle accident attorneys with Kermani are known for their dedication to being advocates for their clients, no matter what type of case is involved and what may be at stake. Since pedestrian accidents and bicycle accidents can be complex cases involving victims who have sustained serious injuries, it will be vital you rely on bicycle accident lawyers in Santa Monica from Kermani who will do everything possible to help you gain the financial compensation you need and deserve.
Immediately following a Santa Monica bicycle accident, you need to call the police. The authorities will help ensure that the right medical team gets called out to the scene of the crash. While you get the medical care you need, the police will clear away the accident scene, start investigating what happened, and create an official police report to document everything.
If you are able to, then you can start collecting evidence at the scene. Take photographs, ask if anyone caught the accident on film or a dash cam, and get contact details from witnesses.
After you leave the scene of the crash, you should get a full physical checkup as soon as possible. Keep a copy of the diagnosis you receive and any medical bills you start to accumulate. If you think your losses are significant, then your next step should be to contact an attorney in your area.
For many bicycle accident victims, one of their biggest hurdles to gaining experienced legal representation is thinking they will need hundreds or thousands of dollars upfront before hiring an attorney. However, by working with the Kermani Law Firm, that will not be necessary. Instead, the team at Kermani charges their clients no fees until their case is won. By doing so, victims can concentrate on getting the medical treatment they need and taking care of themselves and their families, rather than worrying about coming up with the money to help them pursue personal injury litigation.
Following a Santa Monica bicycle accident, you will already have much to deal with in terms of getting treatment for your injuries, trying to pay bills, and keeping you and your family in a reasonable standard of living until your case is resolved. We understand this here at the Kermani Law Firm, which is why our team of experienced legal professionals makes it our mission to provide you with the best possible outcome as fast as possible. Using our extensive experience in negotiating with insurance companies and lawyers for the defendant, we can use evidence from your case to show there is no reason for a delay in reaching a settlement. As a result, we can negotiate settlement offers that are fair, and reasonable, and allow you and your family to have peace of mind.
Sometimes, bicycle accidents are simple to resolve, especially when the injuries are minor. At other times, though, a bicycle accident case can be quite complex. A few of the different types of bicycle accident cases you might experience include:
In general, you’ll be able to file a compensation claim when the other party is at fault. Another type of bike accident you might experience, though, is one where multiple parties could be considered to blame. For instance, if you weren’t wearing a helmet, then you could be considered partially liable.
When you are involved in a bicycle accident, it is probable you suffered broken bones, severe head injuries, and perhaps catastrophic and life-changing injuries such as paralysis, loss of limbs, or traumatic brain injuries. Whatever type of injuries you suffered, you are entitled to seek various types of financial compensation. These include money to pay for current as well as future medical treatment, current and future lost wages if you are unable to return to work, compensation for pain and suffering, and other related damages. In addition, should the circumstances surrounding your accident involve extreme negligence on the part of the defendant, you may also seek and be awarded punitive damages.
One of the most common challenges that make bicycle accident cases complex is the severity of the injuries sustained by the bicyclist. Unfortunately, a bicyclist has very little protection when they get struck by a vehicle, and when that car is moving at a fast pace, the impact of a collision can be devastating. In general, the more severe your injuries are, the more complex your claim is going to become. You’ll need to factor in not only your medical bills and losses but also the potential long-term consequences of your recovery period.
Another challenge you may encounter is claims that you were partially to blame for the accident or the severity of your injuries. If you weren’t wearing protective gear, then the other party might try to reduce their financial liability by claiming you share some responsibility. The other party might also try to argue you were partially at fault for violating some other traffic rule or riding unsafely.
Attempting to work with insurance companies alone can be devastatingly costly in more ways than one. No matter how serious your injuries are, insurance adjusters are trained by their companies to do everything possible to pay out as little as possible to accident victims. Because of this, they will use a variety of tactics.
First, they may try to trick you into saying something they can use against you to claim you caused the accident or were not as seriously injured as you claim. If this does not work, they will instead offer you a quick settlement for far less than you need and deserve. Rather than make these mistakes, let the Kermani Law Firm hold insurance companies accountable.
When you are facing such difficult circumstances from your bicycle accident, you need legal professionals on your side who care about you and will get you the compensation you deserve.

testimonials
We are committed to providing our clients with the best possible service, and their feedback is what drives us to be better.
Due diligence got me only so far as I went through three seemingly great law firms before finding Kermani LLP right here on yelp. They were fantastic.
When I was hurt in a bike accident last year, a friend recommended I get a lawyer and sent me to Ray Kermani. Ray and his team knew exactly what needed to be done and took care of everything.
Ray is one of the easiest people to work with. His communication is great and he always walks you through the steps. I was little down after my accident. He got me paid quickly and way more than I thought was even possible. He goes the extra mile.
The staff is super friendly, approachable and responsive. They provide one on one attention, unless most law firms that just answer calls and want you money.
They took what was a complicated case that most law firms wouldn't touch, and turned it into a large six figure judgment.
Best law firm. They know how to win a case at trial, unlike most law firms that advertise as such. They will push every button that needs to be done to win your case. I was super satisfied.
