Bicycle Accident Lawyer in San Diego & Virginia Beach
Your Story Matters. Your Recovery Matters. We Fight Until You Win.
When a careless driver fails to share the road, a cyclist pays the ultimate price. Whether a motorist cuts you off in a dedicated bike lane, “doors” you along a busy street, or fails to yield the right-of-way at an intersection, the impact of a multi-ton vehicle against a bicycle is catastrophic. Cyclists are completely exposed, routinely suffering severe, life-altering injuries. To make matters worse, insurance adjusters often harbor an auto-centric bias, aggressively trying to blame the cyclist for the crash just to protect their corporate profits.
At Mackie Injury Lawyers, we step in so you don’t have to fight the insurance companies alone. Whether your accident happened riding along the coast in San Diego, cruising through Virginia Beach, or anywhere across California or Virginia — you call, we fight, you win.
We’re recognized for one thing:

Do You Have a Case?
Insurance companies will immediately try to twist your words, claim you weren’t wearing bright enough clothing, or argue that you were riding erratically. Don’t fall for their tactics.
Here’s the truth,
You likely have a strong case if:
- A vehicle struck you, ran you off the road, or opened a car door directly into your path.
- The driver was speeding, texting, distracted, or failed to check their blind spots.
- The collision resulted in severe physical injuries, ER visits, surgeries, or ongoing therapy.
- You missed work, lost your source of income, or your high-end bicycle was completely totaled.
- An insurance company is acting unresponsive or pushing you to accept a fast, lowball settlement.
FAQs
“I didn’t see them” is the most common excuse drivers use, but it is not a legal defense. Motorists have a strict legal duty to maintain situational awareness and safely share the road with cyclists. We shut down their excuses by gathering traffic camera feeds, dashcam footage, and witness statements to prove driver negligence.
You have the right to fight for full compensation for all crash-related damages. This includes immediate medical and surgical bills, future physical therapy, lost earnings, loss of future earning capacity, full replacement value for your bicycle, helmet, and riding gear, and non-economic damages for your physical pain and emotional trauma.
Yes. Not wearing a helmet does not give a negligent driver permission to hit you, nor does it automatically wipe out your injury claim. While insurance adjusters will try to use it to minimize your payout, we know how to legally counter these arguments to protect your right to financial recovery.
The statutory legal deadlines differ strictly between California and Virginia. Because physical roadway evidence can wash away and electronic data can be overwritten quickly, it is vital to secure an experienced trial lawyer immediately following an accident.
