The Bay Area is a hub of California cyclist culture, but that also means that we have a greater amount of serious bicycle accidents and bicycle fatalities each year. According to the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), fatal injury cases to bicyclists are trending up, rather than down.
In addition to bicycle riding is a way of life for many Bay Area residents, offensive drivers and cell phone distractions are making that way of life increasingly more dangerous.As evidenced by your personal experience during daily commutes and recreational rides, as well as updated bike accident statistics, drivers are less conscientious about the rights of cyclists and are largely at fault in accidents involving bicycles.

As a motorcyclist, you know and experience your vulnerability on the road firsthand. You do everything you can to keep yourself safe. Yet, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that motorcyclists and their passengers suffer exponentially more than their vehicle driver and passenger counterparts when involved in an accident, and they are overrepresented in accident-related fatalities.
The sad truth is that thousands of pedestrian accidents occur in the Bay Area each year, and many of those result in fatalities or life-altering injuries. While car accident victims have the buffer of their own insurance companies working on their behalf, victims of a pedestrian accident are doubly at risk.

Monica just settled an agonizingly long and difficult case on my behalf. I am so fortunate to have had the pleasure of working with her. I am impressed at her strategy and her ability to articulate my case. She helped me settle for the full insurance amount, and the costs of additional experts to plea my case. I feel so lucky to have had Monica on my side!

They supported me from the very beginning and kept me informed up to the end. Supported me throughout the process and fought hard for me. I was able to come to an agreement on a reasonable sum, and I am now feeling much better. I was always able to reach them and received prompt responses to my queries. Even when there was no substantial change, they contacted me and provided updates; the communication was excellent. I would highly recommend Burneikis Law to anyone.

Professional, communicative, and knowledgeable--these are some of the qualities that anyone seeking exceptional legal representation should look for. Fortunately, I found that in Monica and her firm. A long, stressful case that I presented to her was concluded with a very high level of satisfaction and service.

After I was in an accident I setup calls with a number of lawyers. As soon as I spoke with Monica, I knew she was the right choice. She was very honest and direct while setting expectations according to her experience and the specifics of the situation. Monica was always very grounded and did not offer false hope, and continued to adjust expectations as the case went on. Throughout my time working with her she did a great job of keeping me informed and answering any questions I had. She was always very professional in addition to being kind and adept at explaining things in a way that was easy

I was able to receive detailed updates about my case as well as get all of my questions regarding the case/process answered. Monica was extremely helpful and took the time to explain her part in the process.
They provided the care I needed after my car accident which took a lot of stress off of me. My experience working with Monica was great and I couldn't be happier with the outcome.

Highly recommend Monica! She guided us through the legal process diligently and with excellent communication throughout. She also suggested a treatment for my accident-related injury that I had not considered and it literally has saved my back!! We are so very grateful for the professional legal services as well as the kind and thoughtful interactions. If you are stressed out by trying to navigate low-ball insurance negotiations she is the best!

I was referred to Monica by a trusted friend after I was injured by a red light runner who totaled my car on the way home from work. Having zero experience with personal injury and insurance claims it was a very welcome relief to have Monica on my side throughout the process. She's experienced, patient and has a wealth of knowledge to share. Monica always took time to explain issues and choices in detail which really helped me with decision making along the way. I would recommend working with Monica to anyone who needs legal support for an injury. She made a challenging situation less stressful

I was rear ended and hurt in an accident up on Grizzly Peak in the Berkeley Hills. I was contacted immediately from the outset of my case to learn more about my circumstances. Not long after that, Monica sent me a follow-up call to ensure professionalism and appreciation for my situation. The contact and devotion of Monica to my case remained excellent through and through. I am grateful for the services given and would recommend them in a heartbeat.
