A Bike Accident Can Upend Your Life. Here's How We Help.
Cyclists are among the most vulnerable road users. Without a steel frame or airbags between you and a moving vehicle, even a moderate collision can cause fractures, traumatic brain injuries, spinal damage, or worse. The problem doesn't end at the crash scene — insurance companies routinely try to shift blame onto cyclists, delay legitimate claims, or offer settlements that fall far short of covering real losses.
Bradley Drendel & Jeanney's bicycle accident attorneys know these tactics well. The firm investigates what happened, builds a claim that accounts for every loss you've suffered, and pushes back hard when insurers try to shortchange you.
775-335-9999What a Bicycle Accident Injury Attorney Does for Your Case
When you work with a bicycle accident personal injury attorney at Bradley Drendel & Jeanney, you get hands-on representation from the start. The firm handles:
- Thorough investigation — police reports, accident scene evidence, medical records, and witness statements
- Liability determination — identifying all parties at fault, from negligent drivers to government agencies responsible for unsafe road conditions
- Damage calculation — accounting for current and future medical costs, lost wages, pain and suffering, and property damage
- Insurance negotiation — aggressive pushback against lowball offers
- Courtroom representation — if a fair settlement isn't reached, the firm is trial-ready
Nevada's two-year statute of limitations means time matters. The sooner a bicycle crash lawyer gets involved, the stronger your case.

Bicycle Accident FAQ
If another party's negligence caused your accident and you suffered injuries as a result, you likely have a claim. Common causes in Reno include driver inattention, dooring incidents, left-turn collisions, and deteriorating road conditions near high-traffic corridors.
Nevada follows a modified comparative negligence rule. Under NRS 41.141, you can still recover compensation as long as your share of fault is less than 51%. Your recovery is reduced proportionally, but you are not automatically barred from pursuing a claim.
Yes. Nevada law does not require adult cyclists to wear helmets, and the absence of one does not end your right to pursue compensation.
Your own uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage may apply. There may also be other liable parties depending on the circumstances. A bike accident attorney can identify every available avenue for recovery.
Bradley Drendel & Jeanney works on a contingency fee basis. You pay nothing unless the firm recovers compensation for you.
