Got the care I needed
I was hit by a car while riding my bicycle and suffered a head injury. The driver's insurance company was being very difficult to deal with and, although they replaced my bike and offered to pay for my ER visit, discouraged me from seeing a doctor. So I contracted Habbas Law. Laura Ajlouny of Habbas jumped right in and got me the care that I needed and took over dealing with the insurance company so I could focus on healing!

Best Outcome and Compensation
Thanks to the help of Habbas and Associates, particularly Besan and Adrian. They thoroughly went through my case and explained everything that would happen and the steps they would take to make sure that I got the best outcome and compensation for the stress and injuries from being hit by a car while riding my bike. I was in unknown waters when it came to injury-related law, but their knowledge and extensive experience made it so much easier on me to understand what was going on and what needed to happen to make everything successful. I appreciate them so much for taking my case. I'm so glad they were my first and now last choice for injury attorneys. I don't think I would have had the same outcome if it was some other firm. Thank you!

Highly recommend this firm!
I was hit by a car a couple of months ago on Halloween night. My fiancé and I were riding our bikes when I was struck from behind. I suffered multiple injuries and was hospitalized for four days. I was asked to get a settlement check signed by the insurance company. I did my research, and I picked Habbas, Nasseri & Associates. I must say the whole staff is extremely kind and welcoming and very hands-on. I would highly recommend this firm to anyone! Tiffany was amazing at helping me out, and Omar personally came out to see me and make sure that I was okay. Tori handled the money side, and I was well taken care of. This is a beautiful firm that needs more recognition for their hard work. Thank you again to all that helped me out in my endeavors, and again, this is the place to go when you get injured!

What compensation can I receive for a bicycle accident?
Compensation for a bicycle accident can include medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, and pain and suffering. The specifics depend on the severity of your injuries, the impact on your ability to work, and the extent of the damage to your bicycle. An attorney can help assess your case and determine what compensation you may be entitled to receive.
Can I still sue if I was partly at fault?
Yes, you may still be able to sue if you were partly at fault. Many states follow a comparative negligence rule, meaning your compensation may be reduced based on your percentage of fault. For example, if you were 20% at fault, your compensation could be reduced by 20%. Consulting with a personal injury lawyer will help evaluate your case and understand how the laws in your state apply to your situation.
Who is liable in a bicycle accident?
Liability in a bicycle accident depends on the circumstances. It may involve a negligent driver, defective bike parts, or unsafe road conditions. Determining liability often requires understanding traffic laws and gathering evidence from the accident scene. An experienced personal injury attorney can help investigate the accident and establish who is responsible for your injuries and damages.
How does insurance affect my bicycle accident claim?
Insurance can play a significant role in your claim. If the driver involved has insurance, it may cover your medical expenses and damages. Your own insurance may also offer coverage, such as personal injury protection or uninsured motorist coverage. Navigating insurance claims can be complex, so having an attorney to advocate on your behalf can be advantageous.
