First, seek medical attention even for minor injuries. Report the crash to the police if required and gather information from the other party. Do not admit fault at the scene. A documented medical record helps support your claim. Next, contact a bicycle accident attorney to review your rights and plan the best course of action.
Liability in bicycle crashes can lie with drivers, city or state road designers, or manufacturers of defective parts. We review all potential sources of fault and pursue a comprehensive claim strategy.
California uses pure comparative negligence, so your recovery may be reduced by your percentage of fault. An attorney helps preserve valuable rights and ensure fair consideration of your contribution to the incident.
Damages include medical bills, rehabilitation costs, lost wages, future care needs, and non-economic losses like pain and suffering. Some losses may extend into the future.
Many bicycle crash cases are handled on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing upfront and fees come from a portion of any recovery.
In California, most personal injury claims must be filed within two years of the crash, though certain factors can shorten or extend deadlines. Early legal review helps protect your rights.
Even injuries that seem minor can worsen over time. A lawyer can assess the best path forward and protect your interests from the start.
Insurance companies may push for quick, low settlements. An attorney negotiates on your behalf and explains your options clearly.
Yes. California law allows recovery even if you share some fault, though your award may be reduced proportionally to your fault.
