Motorcycle vs. car injury case involving a 21 year old student who was injured when a 65 year old man made a left turn at an intersection, in front of the motorcyclist.
Dean's client was a paraplegic due to a motorcycle accident that had occurred several years before. Dean filed a lawsuit and after several years of litigating, he was able to get his client a $1.9 Million Settlement. But that wasn't enough to fully help his client. The next step was for Dean to secure that money by using a structured settlement.
Attorney Dean Goetz represented a homeless man who crossing a street at night in a crosswalk in Encinitas in September 2015 when he was hit by a Prius car. The driver had a fogged up windshield and said he never saw the pedestrian. However, the police officer said Lawrence caused the car accident because he was walking on a "Don't Walk" light. Attorney Goetz went to work to help this seriously injured man even though the Police Officers blamed the pedestrian. This person needed help and the Goetz Law Firm was there for him in every way possible.
Liability was obviously a big issue so Attorney Goetz went to work and proved that the car driver was at fault. Attorney Goetz pointed out to the insurance company that even if his client the pedestrian entered the crosswalk on a "Don't Walk" light, a pedestrian in an intersection crosswalk has the right of way under California law. Attorney Goetz hired the best investigators and a motor vehicle accident reconstructionist. An eye witness was contacted who saw Attorney Goetz' client begin crossing the street on a "Walk" light. The car Accident Reconstructionist expert looked at all the evidence and concluded that the driver was at fault.
Solana Beach personal injury attorney Dean Goetz has represented and obtained sizeable settlements for numerous bicycle riders whose cases were rejected by other attorneys because they did not want to sue a City or a large road building contractor for negligence and damages.
My Solana Beach law office in the Ocean Building is right on California Highway 101 which is the most biked road in America and everyday all year long I see many bicyclists going by. All types of cyclists enjoy our year round bicycling weather from teams to recreational riders and families pulling trailers, even bicycle commuters.
Bicyclists often face prejudice just because they are on two wheels, similar to the type of bias that motorcyclists experience. This is why it is important, especially if you are injured, that you find an experienced bicycle attorney who will fight for your legal rights and who is experienced in handling bicycle accident cases. By hiring attorney Dean Goetz, you will have a fierce legal advocate by your side ensuring that you get the maximum settlement available to you under the law.

Jane U It may be difficult to place a dollar amount based on injuries you or a loved one suffer in an accident as there are many factors to consider.
Those who are injured by someone else and file personal injury claims may be eligible to receive financial compensation based on their physical and/or emotional harm.
Dean will be able to deal with the insurance companies and protect your rights, and you can focus on your recovery. It is extremely important that Dean get involved as soon as possible in order to take steps to identify and preserve important evidence at the accident scene. If you wait too long, the accident scene will no longer be useful for accident investigators and important evidence may be lost.
Many car accident victims believe they are out of luck if they are hit by an uninsured motorist (UIM) or underinsured motorist (UM), but this may not be the case, even if you were a pedestrian, bicyclist, motorcyclist, passenger or bystander, so long as the motorist who caused your injuries was uninsured or underinsured.
I use highly skilled accident reconstruction experts who can uncover the evidence required to prove third party negligence.
Case for a client who was seriously injured in a truck v car accident where the driver of the truck had only $100,000 insurance coverage. I was able to get this seven figure settlement because I identified an additional defendant.
In most of these cases liability was contested but after I had my investigators and accident reconstruction experts investigate and prepare reports, the cases were settled for most often the policy limits.
These bicycle riders had their cases rejected by other attorneys because they did not want to sue a City or a large road building contractor for negligence and damages. It is a lot of work, but I am proud that I have fought for cyclists rights and succeeded.

The bicyclist may try to avoid the accident and may fall as a result of a collision avoidance maneuver. In many cases, a collision doesn't have to occur for injury nor expensive damages to the bike to occur.
