Our Sacramento Bicycle Injury Lawyers Will Seek Full Recovery
At Omega Law Group, we always put our clients first. We have successfully handled thousands of injury claims and recovered millions of dollars in settlements and judgments. Our case results demonstrate our strong commitment to seeking justice for those wrongly injured. In one case, we recovered $8.5 million in a wrongful death case involving a bicyclist who was fatally injured by a truck.
Recovering from an accident takes time, especially when injured riders suffer traumatic brain injuries (TBIs), spinal cord damage, and other catastrophic wounds. Accidents are expensive, so they will need money to pay their medical bills and other expenses. Still, when someone’s health is fragile, it can be physically and mentally taxing to think about taking on an injury case.
This is where we come in. By having our Sacramento catastrophic injury lawyers work on your case, you ensure that legal professionals are devoting the time and attention needed to recover your losses. We will handle all the paperwork, meet critical filing deadlines, and manage daily communications while you rest.
What Our Attorneys Will Do for You
When you work with our bicycle accident lawyers in Sacramento, we will do everything for your case, including:
- Documenting your account of the bicycle accident.
- Investigating the collision to determine what occurred.
- Collecting evidence to back your claims (e.g., medical bills, a police report, photographs and videos, camera footage, witness testimony, damaged clothing and gear, etc.).
- Listing all liable parties responsible for your damages.
- Proving how others’ negligence caused the accident.
- Evaluating your damages and determining your case’s value.
- Creating a legal strategy that addresses your case’s circumstances.
- Leading negotiation settlement talks with the insurance company
- Filing an injury lawsuit within California’s statute of limitations.
- Fighting for your financial recovery in court if we cannot settle your case.
We will update you regularly about your case’s status and answer your questions promptly. You can directly communicate with our lawyers 24/7.
We Will Handle the Insurance Company After the Collision for You
If you have received a compensation offer from an insurance company since the accident, do not sign any documents or agree to anything verbally. We urge you to call us now and let us handle your legal matter from there. It is common for insurance companies to reach out to settle accident claims quickly.
However, that does not mean the compensation will meet your needs—it meets theirs. They aim to offer injured bicycle riders the least amount possible to settle the claim without paying riders what their damages are actually worth. Other tactics include downplaying your injuries and convincing you not to hire an attorney who can work to ensure you get the compensation you deserve.
We know the many tactics insurance companies can use to avoid paying you. Let us put this knowledge to work to protect your rights and interests. We can work to settle your case during the negotiation phase. However, if we cannot settle your case, our attorneys will take your case to trial.
You don’t Pay Any Fees Unless We Win Your Injury Case
We do not add to our clients’ hardships after an accident. Our Sacramento bike accident lawyers work on contingency, so we don’t get paid unless we recover financial compensation for you. After the medical bills, lost income, and other accident-related costs, we understand that injury victims do not need additional financial obligations.
We can explain this payment arrangement during a free consultation. Call the Omega Law Group today for a free consultation.

Wrongful Death Damages
If your loved one suffered fatal injuries, we are sorry for your loss. While you take care of your loved one during this difficult time, our Sacramento wrongful death lawyer can work to recover damages from the party responsible for the accident, including compensation for your loved one’s medical bills, funeral and burial expenses, and lost income.
California designates which family members can pursue these damages. We can explain this further during your free case evaluation.
We Have a Short Time to Sue for Damages After an Accident
California limits the time we have to take legal action for a bicycle crash. Per CCP 335.1, injured parties must file a lawsuit within two years after an accident. They also have two years to pursue a wrongful death lawsuit.
We will file your lawsuit by the statute of limitations deadline if we have enough time to do so. Taking prompt legal action also shows the insurance company you are serious about recovering your losses and allows our attorneys to have time to build a strong case for your recovery. The court will bar you from the opportunity to sue for damages if you miss the deadline.
