Hundreds of cyclists will tragically lose their lives as a result of their bicycle accident related injuries.
The Clovis bicycle accident attorneys at Estey Bomberger know firsthand the effects a serious injury or tragic loss can have on victims and victims’ families. We have seen the pain, grief and sadness associated with a severe injury or loss and can offer victims a helping hand during trying times.

When Should You Contact a Clovis Bicycle Accident Attorney?
When a bicycle accident results in an injury or loss, victims should contact a Clovis bicycle accident attorney at the law firm of Estey Bomberger as soon as possible after the accident has occurred. Letting too much time pass can result in the loss of valuable evidence and key eyewitnesses. Waiting to contact one of our caring attorneys can also result in the other party’s insurance company capitalizing on a victim’s vulnerable state. Insurance companies looking out for their bottom line often try to settle a claim quickly before the full extent of damages are known. If contacted promptly, we can ensure evidence is preserved, eyewitnesses are located and interviewed, and victims are not victimized once again by intimidating insurance companies.
