Bicycle Injury Recommendations

“Richard is very passionate about his work and goes the extra mile for his client.  He does a thorough job of informing the client of the progress of the case and makes himself accessible to the client at any time.  He was able to settle my case without the hassle of going to trial and I’m pleased with the results.  Thanks Richard for all your hard work.”  Sherry N.

“I’m thankful I was referred to Richard Duquette.  He spent time with me asking probing questions regarding my accident and highlighted several things I had no idea about.  And although he did not take the case (mainly because I was riding on the sidewalk, which is the problem), I really appreciated his insights and the fact that he offered his advice as to how to handle my claim vis-a-vis the insurance companies.  What impressed me the most was that he preferred not to spend my money knowing the odds - unlike a lot of unscrupulous lawyers would.”  Joseph S.

“I want to thank you for your courtesy and professionalism this morning.  I was referred to you by a member of the San Diego Triathlon Club and it was very reassuring to talk to someone who understands the cyclists’ perspective in an accident.  This is a stressful situation for me and I sincerely appreciate your guidance and willingness to help out a fellow athlete.” Lisa S.

“Richard was recommended to me by a top Luxembourg triathlete.  Richard had helped him, and he did the same for me.  I was pleased with the results and my case was handled promptly and timely.”  Mark M.

My Bicycle vs. Auto case was handled promptly and I would recommend Richard because he handled my case as if it was his main priority and obtained a greater settlement than I expected.  Mark B.

I suffered a bicycle vs. door injury.  I would recommend Richard Duquette as he was very open and answered all inquires in a timely and forthright fashion.  I also want to thank you for taking my case on – for working to get me  a fabulous new bike so fast.  Also thanks for getting my case resolved so quickly and in my favor.  You went above and beyond!  Karen C.

I was in a “Bicycle Accident involving a car”.  “My expectations and then some were met”.  It took “less than a year from the date of my accident to resolve my case”.  I would recommend Richard because “it was more like a friend handling my case.” John S.

I had a “Bicycle Injury” case.  [Richard] “came to my house and treated me more like a friend than a client”.  “My case was handled promptly and all my expectations were met.” L.O. (SDBC Member)

I would recommend Richard Duquette because my case “had some difficult aspects to it and Richard provided sound advice throughout and especially in regards to settlement and holding out. By declining the initial settlement offer we were able to get the best result possible.” Chris T.

“Richard is straight forward and efficient: I really felt my case was dealt with professionally and in a timely manner, no dragging along or surprises. Richard is a triathlon geek too, so it made our communication about my bicycle accident very easy and he clearly understood the impact of my injuries and could easily relate to my experience. Thumbs-up for the outcome and the service along the way. Not forgetting the great job of his assistant Karen keeping track of the logistics and sending reminders, emails and phone calls. Big thanks for the Duquette team and I hope to see you on the road soon.” Max L.

“After my first accident 15 years ago, I settled directly with the insurance company and thought I had done OK. My recent accident was more serious (broken bones and destroyed bike) and it was recommended that I contact Richard Duquette. I was very pleased at how he thoroughly explained the process, what I was to do, and what to expect at the end. Things played out as he described and I was compensated very well by the insurance company. If you have an accident, don’t try to handle it yourself – call Richard and he will be very helpful” Jim S.

“…I am very thankful for the time he took on a Monday night for me. He outlined all of the things I need to do in order to win my case. He provided direction and a thorough explanation, and volunteered his expertise on my behalf. He is kindly mannered, expressed his concern for my case and I believe he takes a lot of pride in helping people. I hope I find justice in my case and get through this difficult time, and as of now, I feel more confident this will happen for me because Mr. Duquette reached out.” Colleen R.

“Back in March I was hit by a truck while commuting home. My mother Susan V. suggested calling an attorney. She proceeded to show me Richard Duquette’s advert in the [newsletter]. I talked to Richard on the day after my accident, he said, I’ll drive down to meet you, and he did. I was very happy, that he reached out to help me. Not only did he help me get a substantial settlement, he also obtained funds for my surgery that I need so I may work and ride. I want to thank the [club] for having Richard Duquette in the [newsletter].” Brian B. (e-mail to local bike club)

“Hi M. You probably know about my car [/bike] accident last year in September and how severe my spine injury was. Not only that I’m back on track, but I got a great settlement due to having a good lawyer.

“Dear fellow Cyclists,
Last November I was riding south on the Coast Highway through Leucadia and was hit by a boat being towed. The driver kept going and luckily there were witnesses that called the police. The driver was stopped in Solana Beach.

The was the fortunate part. The unfortunate part was that I had a broken arm that required surgery to attach an eight inch plate with as many screws in my arm. It also caused me to be unable to work for nine months.

The second bad break for me was that the driver was uninsured and my uninsured motorists coverage was not enough. After seeing attorney Richard Duquette’s information I called him for help.

Richard immediately came to my house to discuss my options. I hired him and he worked tirelessly to get me more that my uninsured motorist coverage. He also kept my medical and car insurance companies from taking my settlement.

There are two recommendations I have for all of my fellow cyclists. One, be sure you have a minimum amount of uninsured motorist coverage of $100,000. (I do now and it was maybe $50 more per year!) Richard had written articles about this. I had read them on the website but did not take action. Two, hire Richard Duquette to handle the case for you.

We all enjoy a sport that has become more and more dangerous and we need a fellow cyclist like Richard Duquette to be there to fight for us!!

Sincerely, J. Johnny E.
