Sacramento is one of America’s most bike-friendly cities, but that does not make its roads safe. Cyclists face distracted drivers, dangerous intersections, and inadequate bike infrastructure every day. If you were hit by a car while riding, Phoong Law will fight to get you the compensation you deserve.

Get off the road if possible and call police. A formal accident report is critical evidence, especially since drivers often dispute what happened. Request medical attention even if your injuries seem minor.
Take photos of your bicycle, the vehicle, your injuries, the intersection, traffic signals, and any bike lane markings. In Sacramento’s busy corridors, conditions change fast, so document the scene before anything gets moved.
Concussions, internal bleeding, and spinal injuries are common in bicycle crashes and frequently go undetected without a proper exam. A medical record connecting your injuries to the collision is essential for your claim.
Before accepting any insurance offer or giving a recorded statement, call us at 866-GOT-PAIN. Bicycle accident claims are often undervalued by insurance companies. We make sure that does not happen to you.
Sacramento has invested in bike lanes and trails, from the American River Bike Trail to the downtown grid, yet serious bicycle accidents continue to rise. High-traffic corridors like J Street, Broadway, and Folsom Boulevard see frequent collisions between cyclists and motor vehicles. Many crashes happen at intersections where drivers fail to yield or check for cyclists. The Sacramento Area Council of Governments reports hundreds of bicycle injury collisions each year. At Phoong Law, we represent injured cyclists who deserve full compensation for injuries caused by negligent drivers.
Bicycle accident injuries can be devastating because riders have virtually no protection on impact. California law allows injured cyclists to recover compensation for every category of harm caused by a negligent driver.
ER visits, CT scans, orthopedic surgery, dental reconstruction, and physical therapy. Bicycle crash injuries frequently require extensive treatment over months or years.
Time away from work during recovery and any long-term impact on your ability to earn are compensable. Severe injuries can fundamentally change your career trajectory.
Chronic pain, anxiety about riding again, PTSD from the collision, and the loss of an active lifestyle are all recognized damages under California law.
High-end road bikes, commuter setups, helmets, and accessories destroyed in the crash are included in your claim at fair replacement value.
Each type of bicycle collision involves different liability issues and injury patterns. Our attorneys know how to investigate and prove fault in every common crash scenario Sacramento cyclists face.
A driver turns right directly into the path of a cyclist traveling in a bike lane. This is one of the most common and preventable types of bicycle accidents on Sacramento streets like J Street and 21st Street.
Drivers who run red lights or fail to yield at stop signs cause devastating T-bone collisions with cyclists. Busy intersections along Arden Way and Stockton Blvd are frequent hotspots.
In midtown and downtown Sacramento, a parked driver opening a door into a bike lane gives a cyclist almost no time to react. These crashes cause serious upper body and head injuries.
California law requires drivers to give cyclists at least three feet of clearance when passing. Violations on narrow Sacramento streets cause sideswipe crashes that knock riders into traffic or parked cars.
Potholes, cracked pavement, storm drain grates, and construction debris are especially dangerous for cyclists. If poor road maintenance caused your crash, the city or county may be liable.
When a driver strikes a cyclist and flees, the injuries are often severe and the emotional toll is compounding. We investigate aggressively and pursue every available source of recovery, including your own uninsured motorist policy.
Insurance companies routinely undervalue bicycle accident claims. Our attorneys know the real cost of these injuries and have a track record of holding negligent drivers fully accountable for the harm they cause.

When you hire Phoong Law, we take over immediately. We handle insurance companies, coordinate your treatment, investigate the crash, and build a case aimed at maximum compensation. Here is what the process looks like step by step.
Yes. California does not require adult cyclists to wear helmets. Even if you were not wearing one, you can still pursue a full claim. The driver’s negligence caused the crash, not your helmet choice.
Disputed liability is common in bicycle cases. We gather traffic camera footage, witness statements, and accident reconstruction data to establish what actually happened. California’s comparative negligence law still allows recovery even if partial fault is assigned.
It depends on the severity of your injuries. Cases involving broken bones, head trauma, or long recovery periods often result in significant settlements. We evaluate every category of damages to maximize your recovery.
Almost certainly. Insurance adjusters are trained to minimize payouts, especially for bicycle claims. Having an experienced attorney levels the playing field and typically results in a much higher recovery.
You generally have two years from the date of the accident. However, if a government entity is responsible for road conditions that caused your crash, you may have as little as six months to file a claim.
Never. We work on a contingency fee basis. You pay nothing unless we win your case. Your consultation is free, and there is no financial risk to you.
Every day that passes makes your case harder to prove. Get your free, no-obligation case review right now and find out what your claim is really worth.
