"Motorcycle, bicycle and pedestrian accidents often result in life-altering injuries, as there is little protection for the victim. If you or a loved one has been injured, let us help you."

A very large part of our personal injury practice is representing motorcyclists, bicyclists, and pedestrians who have been seriously injured.  Steinberg & Spencer lawyers are avid bicyclists and motorcycle riders.  We are well known in the triathlon and motorcycle communities.  Automobile and truck drivers often place motorcyclists, bicyclists and pedestrians at risk of serious injuries.  When a driver becomes distracted or doesn't give the appropriate space to a motorcyclist or bicyclist, the outcome can be catastrophic.  A pedestrian walking across the street or a bicyclist riding on the road has little protection when hit by a car weighing 3,000 pounds. 

As your accident lawyer, we have:

• Settlement advances available
• Free telephone, home or hospital consultation
• Evening and weekend appointments
• Successfully resolved more than 12,000 cases
• Offices throughout Southern California and statewide
• No fees until we win
• Extremely high success rate

As our client, your legal rights to compensation include:

• Payment of Medical Bills
  
• Loss of Income
  
• Pain and Suffering

If you have been injured in a motorcycle, bicycle or pedestrian accident caused by a negligent driver, call us.  Steinberg & Spencer Injury Lawyers have successfully resolved hundreds of motorcycle and bicycle accident cases for injured people and their families.  Our goal is to obtain the maximum compensation in the fastest time possible.  We have medical experts who are available to help you recover and document your case without any up-front, out-of-pocket expenses.  We also will obtain compensation to repair or replace your motorcycle or bicycle.

If you or your family has been seriously injured, we provide first class legal representation.  From the moment you become our client, our experienced attorneys will answer your questions and guide you every step of the way.  Steinberg & Spencer are members of the Million Dollar Advocate Forum, of which less than 1% of attorneys nationwide are members.  We have nearly 30 years of experience and the reputation and confidence to win your case.

We thoroughly develop and document the facts and injuries arising from your accident, in order to build a strong case.  Steinberg & Spencer will obtain police reports, interview witnesses and hire experts to help you recover the highest compensation possible.  Even though some injuries do not initially appear to be serious, they may turn out to be so.  We strive to document each and every injury to obtain the highest compensation possible. 

 

Representing Injured People for Nearly 30 Years:

  A victim of a bicycle, pedestrian or motorcycle accident is often treated unfairly by the insurance company and is offered a settlement that is far below what their case is worth.  Since 1982, we have been helping our clients obtain the highest possible compensation for their injuries.  We also ensure that you receive the highest quality medical care.  We thoroughly investigate and document your case and hire the best experts to prove your case.  Steinberg & Spencer's track record is outstanding and for this reason a high percentage of our cases come from referrals by past clients and even other accident law firms.  Our clients expect results and we have the confidence to deliver.  Our goal is to do everything for you, so you can focus on your recovery.
