In California, the statute of limitations for most personal injury claims is two years from the date of the crash. Exceptions may apply for minor children or government claims, so it’s important to consult a lawyer early. Missing deadlines can bar recovery, so timely action is essential.
You may recover money for medical bills, lost wages, rehabilitation, and pain and suffering, depending on fault and damages proven. A lawyer helps quantify losses and pursue the full amount you deserve.
Fault is determined through evidence such as police reports, eyewitness statements, and traffic camera footage. Insurance adjusters and courts review liability to assign a percentage of fault to each party.
Document injuries with medical records, photographs of the crash scene, repair estimates, and any correspondence with insurers. Keep a log of symptoms and time off work for a complete record.
Many bicycle crash cases are settled out of court, but some proceed to trial if a fair settlement cannot be reached. We prepare for both outcomes and communicate options clearly.
Settlement timelines vary by case, but timely documentation, negotiations, and clear medical progress often lead to faster results. Complex cases or liability disputes may take longer.
Medical bills are typically paid as settlements are reached, or medical providers may wait for a lien clearance. Your attorney helps coordinate with hospitals and insurers to avoid double payments.
In many cases you pay no upfront fees; we work on a contingency basis, meaning legal fees come from a portion of the recovery. You owe nothing if there is no settlement or verdict.
