Mike Bomberger is the founding partner of ebCyclingLaw. The California bicycle accident lawyer team at ebCyclingLaw represents cyclists throughout the United States for bicycle accidents and the injuries cyclists suffer as a result.
A love and passion for cycling is the driving force behind ebCyclingLaw. Since the early 90s, Mike has been a well known fixture in the San Diego cycling community. With a weekly average of about 200 miles on the bike, it’s no wonder why. As a longtime cyclist, no one has more expertise in understanding the unique liability challenges that bicyclists face.
Mike has had the opportunity to ride many of the cycling destination countries around the world, and has encountered almost every type of situation that bicyclists can face on the road. He knows firsthand the terrible repercussions cyclists endure surrounding the aftermath of contact with an automobile. This knowledge comes from personal experience, as he has had multiple accidents in which he was struck by a vehicle. He has also had several friends and family members that have been struck by cars.
Bicycle Advocacy
Helping cyclists that have been injured, as well as promoting bicycle safety, is the focus of Mike Bomberger’s law practice. ebCyclingLaw is more than just a boutique law firm that has helped scores of cyclists in California. Our law firm promotes cycling, bicycling charities, and on the bike safety as core values to its structure.
Mike Bomberger has been successful in winning cases for bicyclists that other attorneys thought were not winnable. He is an active advocate for many cyclist causes throughout California.
Trusted Media Expert
Mike is the go-to expert on issues including bicycle accidents. Some of the more notable media interviews include:
- ABC 10 News — discussing dangerous and deadly pedestrian intersections
- Fox 5 News — discussing bicycle safety
Mike Bomberger’s vision for ebCyclingLaw is based upon a simple belief of promoting core values of respect, integrity, and honesty with his clients, partners, peers, and employees. He believes that successful organizations only run their best with a team that works well together.
The ebCyclingLaw trial team works diligently on just a few cases allowing Mike Bomberger and Brian Ellis to personally allocate more time and resources to their clients. That attention to detail has resulted in a near perfect track record for the law firm along with numerous record-setting settlements and verdicts.
In the last two years, Mike has acted as co-counsel on cases resulting in jury verdicts of $30 million, $23 million, and $10.8 million. Due to these results, insurance companies pay his clients fair settlements in order to avoid the consequences of trial.
Relentless Work for Client Results
In a recent case, Mike worked for five years on a case that no other attorney was interested in taking on behalf of a cyclist who was paralyzed by an impaired driver while riding his bike on Fiesta Island. As a result of his tireless work, Mike secured a record-setting settlement of nearly $24 million for the injuries and loss of consortium suffered by his client.
ebCyclingLaw continues to embrace the challenges of serving and helping injured clients against large insurance companies and corporations that only value the bottom line. In more than 20 years of practicing, Mike has only served injured victims; our firm does not represent corporations or insurance companies.
Personal Life
Married for over twenty years, Mike is the proud father of 4 children. Outside of the office, Mike enjoys spending time with his family, and is a frequent coach to his children’s wrestling, soccer, football, and basketball teams.
Mike plays an essential role in the San Diego community, supporting diverse charities, including Rady Children’s Chadwick Center, Father Joe’s Village, Voices for Children, Red Cross, the Bird Rock Foundation, St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital, Wounded Warrior Project, the Challenged Athletes Foundation, Meals on Wheels, the San Diego Humane Society and SPCA, and the Keenan’s Kids Foundation.
