Cyclists have very little protection when something goes wrong.

Unlike occupants of passenger vehicles, cyclists have very little physical protection between themselves and a vehicle, the roadway, or surrounding objects during a crash.

A cyclist may be:

• Struck directly by a vehicle
• Thrown from the bicycle
• Forced off the road
• Knocked into another vehicle or object
• Injured while trying to avoid a collision
• Pushed into traffic by an unsafe maneuver

Even a crash that happens at a relatively low speed can result in serious injuries.

You don’t need to understand Arizona bicycle laws or know exactly who was legally responsible before contacting ZLG. Jose will listen to your story and explain the next step in plain language.

Protect Your Health and Preserve What You Can

The moments after a bicycle accident can be confusing.

If you’re physically able and it is safe to do so, a few practical steps may help protect your health and preserve information about what happened.

1. Call 911 when emergency assistance is needed.
2. Seek medical attention.
3. Exchange contact and insurance information with the driver.
4. Take photographs of the vehicle, bicycle, roadway, and surrounding area.
5. Photograph visible injuries.
6. Collect the names and contact information of witnesses.
7. Preserve the damaged bicycle, helmet, clothing, lights, and other gear.
8. Save medical bills and insurance communications.
9. Avoid guessing about fault at the scene.
10. Speak with an attorney before accepting a settlement.

Don’t put yourself in danger trying to gather evidence in traffic or return to an unsafe roadway.

You may still have a claim even if you were unable to complete every step.

Jose can review the evidence that remains and investigate additional information that may be available.

Getting Help Shouldn’t Add More Financial Stress

A bicycle accident may already leave you dealing with medical bills, missed income, transportation expenses, and the cost of replacing damaged equipment.

Getting legal help should help relieve your burdens, not add to them. 

That’s why ZLG charges no upfront attorney fees and you only pay if we recover compensation for you.

The contingency-fee agreement and any case-related costs will be explained before representation begins so you understand how the arrangement works.

You don’t need every photograph, medical record, police report, or insurance document before contacting ZLG.

Start by telling Jose what happened. He will review the circumstances and explain the next step in clear, straightforward language.

You’ll receive direct attorney involvement, personal representation from A to Z, and help in English or Spanish.

Your consultation is free, and you only pay attorney fees if we recover compensation for you.
