Why hire Phillips & Pelly:  Accident & Injury Lawyers

Not all personal injury attorneys are created equal, especially when it comes to navigating the  field of insurance litigation. This can be particularly compounded in bike accident cases as the laws can be complex. Missing filing deadlines or possible causes of action can destroy a claim.

Unlike car accidents, bike accident cases offer unique facts. For example, riding on sidewalks is permitted by code in some municipalities, while local law prohibits this activity in others. However, just because a municipal code may prohibit riding on a sidewalk, doesn’t always mean the bike rider was at fault.

Other factors can be case specific in bike accident cases. For example, is there a bike lane, was the rider walking or riding in a crosswalk, was there an “implied” intersection, are there sight lines that are distorted by objects, was the bike rider wearing a helmet. All of these factors, and more, need to be considered in a bike accident case.

You will undoubtedly see many attorneys advertising themselves as Personal Injury specialists. The fact of the matter, is that many lack the experience, reputation and credentials to effectively handle these types of cases.

This can significantly affect the type of settlement you receive for your injuries – and in some cases can result in no settlement at all.  The Law Firm of Phillips & Pelly is a highly respected, BBB A+ rated Personal Injury law firm with over (22) years of successful litigation experience in the San Diego community. Testimonials from many of our past satisfied clients are virtually second to none.

We work with expert precision on behalf of our Clients, when litigating with large insurance companies to the benefit of our valued Clients. That is why they refer their own family, friends and loved ones to our personal injury law firm. They know we’ll take care of them.

  You can go with the catchy jingles that you see on TV as I did, and become just another client. Or you can go with a firm that treats you like family, and sets the bar high by fighting for the maximum payment from your injuries. Very impressed and glad I made the switch! Thanks for everything I truly appreciate you.

  I worked with Ashley LaFontaine and she was absolutely wonderful in getting me the care I needed. When things with the doctors got hung up she helped get things moving. She was super communicative and kept me in the loop through every step of the process. Set expectations from beginning to end very well and exceed my expectations!

  I met Oliver Pelly by happenstance and after I grilled him a couple of times, I decided to hire his firm. After being my initial POC, I began working with Blake Woodhall. Both were standup guys, and Blake kept me in-the-loop the entire time. He was patient when explaining the process and going over details and understanding of my situation and concerns. Everything concluded better than I could have expected, and Blake acted as an excellent buffer to keep everything at bay. I would highly recommend Blake, Oliver and their firm for any auto accident cases.

  Going through my accident was a very difficult and emotional experience. The process of choosing the right law firm can be overwhelming. Choosing Phillips and Pelly was the best decision I could have made. They are extremely knowledgeable and I trusted Oliver’s expertise throughout the entire process. He was very responsive. Anytime I would have a question, including nights and weekends, Oliver would get back to me right away. I would recommend Phillips and Pelly for anyone going through a similar situation. They really are the best.

  I have enjoyed my experience with this law firm. Alecia Gordon represented me with my case and throughout this entire ordeal has been extremely supportive and understanding of my own lack of experience and knowledge of legal matters. She is not only kind and considerate but very intelligent and professional. The paralegal team also deserve kudos as they were always there to assist and assure me of progress and necessary document completions. All in all, I would highly recommend this firm for personal injury claims.

  Matt was very helpful in settling a case for my son that was a passenger in an automobile that crashed into a home. My son suffered cracked ribs, a concussion amongst other injuries. Matt was helpful explaining everything to us as this was a 1st dealing with anything like this for our family. It took time and patience as the other party was reluctant to settle. In the end my son had his ambulance, medical bills and a small amount of recovered monies all paid out. Great man, lawyer and law firm .Highly reccomended

Do you have to pay for representation?

No.  We handle all cases on a contingency basis, with a no fee until we win guarantee. You only pay when we recover money on your behalf. Our fees are based on a standard percentage of the final settlement amount.

The right to be fairly compensated

If you or a loved one have suffered from bicycle injuries as the result of a careless, reckless or distracted driver or other circumstance, you have the right to be compensated for your injuries.

With so many cyclists in our state, it isn’t surprising that California has the highest rate of bicycle fatalities in the entire country. Riding responsibly and carefully is of course a good thing that will mitigate the chances of a bicycle injury accident or fatality. That being said, it’s impossible to control the actions of every automobile driver on the road and as a result, some riders will fall victim to their carelessness.

Once we have accepted your bike accident injury case, you may be eligible to receive compensation for your medical bills, lost wages, damage to your bicycle, property damage and pain and suffering, future medical bill, past and future lost wages, to name a few.
