Fighting for Cyclists' Rights with Compassion and Resolve
Bicycle Accident Lawyer in Santa Rosa, CA
Personal Injury
Injured in a Bicycle Accident? You Don’t Have to Navigate This Alone.
Bicycle accidents can leave you dealing with far more than physical injuries—they often bring medical bills, lost income, and ongoing uncertainty. At the Law Office of Johann Hall, we understand how overwhelming this can be. That’s why we’re here: to listen, to guide, and to help you recover the compensation you deserve.
As a local Santa Rosa attorney with deep community roots, Johann Hall brings clarity and care to every case—especially when the stakes are personal. When you’ve been hit, you need someone who will stand up for your rights and treat your case with the seriousness it deserves.
Why Bicycle Accident Claims Require Specialized Representation
Cyclists are often at a disadvantage when sharing the road with cars—and unfortunately, that imbalance extends to how these cases are handled by insurers. We step in to level the field.
Attorney Johann Hall can help with:
- Identifying all liable parties (drivers, municipalities, property owners)
- Gathering evidence such as witness statements, traffic camera footage, and accident reports
- Negotiating with insurance companies that may try to minimize your claim
- Filing and litigating your claim if fair compensation isn’t offered
Common Injuries in Bicycle Accidents
We’ve helped clients recover damages for injuries including:
- Head trauma and concussions
- Broken bones and fractures
- Internal injuries
- Road rash and lacerations
- Spinal cord injuries
- Long-term or permanent disability
What Compensation Can You Recover?
Every case is different, but you may be eligible to recover:
Medical expenses (past and future)
Lost wages due to time off work
Pain and suffering
Property damage (e.g., your bike and gear)
Loss of earning capacity
If a government entity was involved—such as unsafe road conditions maintained by the city—filing deadlines may be shorter. Contact us as soon as possible to protect your rights.
Why Choose Johann Hall
Johann Hall offers more than legal knowledge—he offers compassion, clarity, and personal commitment. As a cyclist advocate and lifelong Sonoma County resident, he takes each case personally and treats each client with the respect they deserve.
You’ll work directly with Johann—not be passed off to staff. You’ll always know where your case stands, and you’ll never feel like just another file on a desk.
Frequently Asked Questions
About Bicycle Accidents
What should I do immediately after a bicycle accident?
Seek medical attention first. If you’re able, take photos of the scene, gather contact info from witnesses, and file a police report. Then, contact a lawyer as soon as possible.
How long do I have to file a claim in California?
In most cases, the statute of limitations is two years from the date of the accident. However, if a government entity is involved, you may have only six months to file a claim.
Can I still recover damages if I was partially at fault?
Yes. California follows comparative fault laws, which means you can still receive compensation even if you were partially responsible—though your recovery may be reduced based on your level of fault.
What if the driver fled the scene?
Hit-and-run cases are complex but not hopeless. We can help investigate and explore your options, including using your uninsured motorist coverage if available.
Do I need a lawyer for a minor accident?
Even if your injuries seem minor, it’s smart to speak with a lawyer. Some injuries don’t show up right away, and early legal advice can protect your rights if symptoms appear later.
