Cyclist Advocacy

Cyclists Have Rights. We Enforce Them.

Orange County has seen a surge in cycling, but road infrastructure has not kept up. Bike lanes that end abruptly, intersections without protected signals, and drivers who do not check for cyclists before turning — these conditions put riders at serious risk every day.

Joseph Gallo represents injured cyclists who were following the rules and paying attention, only to be struck by a driver who was not. He understands cycling dynamics, California vehicle code protections for cyclists, and the specific injuries riders suffer.

A bike lane is not a suggestion. It is a legal boundary. We hold drivers to it.

Bicycle Accident FAQ

Do I have to wear a helmet to have a valid claim?
California only requires helmets for riders under 18. However, not wearing a helmet as an adult could affect the portion of damages related to head injuries under comparative negligence rules.
What if the driver says I ran a stop sign?
Even if you share some fault, California's comparative negligence system allows you to recover damages reduced by your percentage of fault. Joseph will investigate the facts and build the strongest case possible.
Can I recover the cost of my damaged bike?
Yes. Property damage, including your bicycle and any gear destroyed in the crash, is part of your claim. High-end bikes can represent significant financial loss.
