Bicycle Accident Attorney in Fresno
30+ Years Serving Fresno Injury Victims. Personal Representation from Day One.
When a driver strikes a cyclist, the injuries are rarely minor. Cyclists absorb the full force of a collision with no vehicle frame for protection, and the road to recovery can mean months of medical care, missed work, and real financial pressure. If you were hit while riding in Fresno, you may be entitled to compensation for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and property damage. Acting promptly preserves evidence and keeps your legal options open.
At Manock Law, Attorney Charles Manock has been representing personal injury clients throughout Fresno, Tulare, and Madera counties since 1995. He grew up in Fresno and has spent his career serving the community he knows firsthand. That local history matters when it comes to understanding the roads where these collisions happen.
Call (559) 975-1153 to schedule a free consultation by phone or virtually. Manock Law works on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing unless we recover compensation for you.
Why Fresno Cyclists Work Directly with Charles Manock
At many high-volume personal injury firms, clients are handed off to paralegals or case managers shortly after signing. At Manock Law, you work directly with Attorney Charles Manock from the first call through resolution. He personally handles the investigation, strategy, and negotiations on your case.
Before focusing on personal injury, Charles Manock served as general counsel for prominent local and national corporations. That background gives him a clear view of how insurance companies evaluate claims and where adjusters apply pressure. He applies that knowledge to protect clients from tactics designed to minimize settlement values.

How Manock Law Handles Your Bicycle Accident Claim
From the moment you contact us, Attorney Charles Manock takes charge of your case personally. Building a strong claim starts with a thorough investigation: police reports, witness statements, traffic camera footage, and physical evidence from the scene all help establish how the accident occurred and who is responsible.
Insurance companies representing at-fault drivers routinely attempt to shift blame onto the cyclist or dispute the severity of injuries. California is a pure comparative fault state, which means even if you bear some share of responsibility, you can still recover damages reduced by your percentage of fault. We handle all communications with the insurer so you don’t make statements that could be used against you. If the insurer refuses a fair offer, we can take the case to trial.
For cyclists struck by an uninsured driver or in a hit-and-run, uninsured motorist (UM) coverage may provide a path to compensation. We identify every available source of recovery on your behalf.
Compensation Available in a Fresno Bicycle Accident Claim
Bicycle accident victims may be entitled to both economic and non-economic damages depending on the facts of their case.
Economic damages cover the financial losses directly tied to the accident:
- Past and future medical expenses, including surgery, hospitalization, rehabilitation, and ongoing care
- Lost wages and diminished earning capacity if injuries prevent you from returning to work at the same level
- Bicycle repair or replacement and other out-of-pocket costs
- Disability accommodations
Non-economic damages address losses that don’t carry a price tag but are real and significant:
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Permanent disability or disfigurement
- Loss of enjoyment of life
When a cyclist is killed due to another party’s negligence, surviving family members may pursue a wrongful death claim covering funeral expenses, loss of income, and loss of companionship. In cases involving extreme negligence, such as a driver who was intoxicated at the time of the crash, punitive damages may also be available. Calculating future losses often requires expert analysis, which we coordinate as part of case preparation.
