If you’re able to:
Call 911 and report the accident
Seek medical attention immediately
Take photos of the scene, your bicycle, and any vehicles involved
Get contact information from drivers and witnesses
Avoid speaking with insurance companies before getting guidance

If you’re unsure what to do next, speaking with a Walnut Creek bicycle accident lawyer can help you avoid common mistakes.
Compensation You May Be Entitled To
Bicycle accident injuries can be severe and often require ongoing medical care.
Depending on your situation, compensation may include:
- Medical expenses and ongoing treatment
- Lost income and reduced earning capacity
- Pain and physical discomfort
- Long-term or permanent limitations
These cases are part of personal injury law in California and often involve negotiating with insurance companies that may attempt to minimize claims involving cyclists.
Understanding what your case may be worth is not always straightforward, which is why many people speak with a Walnut Creek bicycle accident lawyer early in the process.
Writing a will that truly reflects your wishes
Clear, customized guidance from experienced attorneys
A will is one of the most important legal documents you’ll ever create. It ensures your property is distributed according to your choices, not left to state laws or court discretion. At Parker & Maloney, we help individuals and families across multiple states prepare valid, thoughtful wills that bring clarity and peace of mind. Whether your estate is modest or complex, our attorneys make the process straightforward, transparent, and designed around your specific goals.
Why every adult needs a will
Protecting your family starts with preparation
Many people assume wills are only for those with large estates, but they’re essential for anyone who wants a say in how their affairs are handled. A well-drafted will outlines who inherits your assets, who manages your estate, and who cares for your minor children. Without one, state law decides those matters for you, often in ways that don’t reflect your wishes. Our attorneys help you anticipate potential issues, minimize conflict, and leave a clear plan that makes things easier for your loved ones.
