California authorities have taken steps to try to prevent brain injuries in motorcycle and bicycle accidents. All motorcyclists in California must wear a DOT-approved helmet at all times. California law also states that all children under 17 must wear a bicycle helmet while riding a bike.

There were more than 11,300 bicyclist injuries and nearly 14,000 motorcyclist injuries during the latest reporting here across the state, according to the California Office of Traffic Safety.

If you or a loved one has sustained a brain injury in a motorcycle or bicycle accident caused by another driver’s negligent actions, you may be entitled to various types of compensation. At Choulos, Choulos & Wyle, we regularly help clients sustain the following types of compensation for these cases:
Brain injuries are incredibly complex and can sometimes be downplayed by insurance companies as minor. Our San Francisco legal team works directly with leading specialists in neuropsychology to conduct a comprehensive battery of specialized tests. This deep medical evaluation allows us to uncover the true scope of cognitive or neurological damage, ensuring we can build a rock-solid case to pursue a fair settlement that covers your lifetime needs.
Our specialized traumatic brain injury attorneys provide dedicated legal representation to injury victims and their families throughout the entire state of California. We focus extensively on serving local communities across the Bay Area, including San Francisco, Oakland, San Jose, and Marin County, as well as clients in Sacramento.
A traumatic brain injury is a dynamic, chronic condition that can change over time and often requires months or even years of rehabilitation and therapy. Accepting an early, lowball settlement from an insurance adjuster can leave your family facing overwhelming medical debt later on. We protect our clients by thoroughly evaluating long-term care requirements and refusing to settle for anything less than the complete compensation needed for independent living and ongoing recovery.
