In California, you typically have two years from the date of the injury to file a personal injury claim, but there are exceptions that can shorten or extend that window. To protect your rights and deadlines, it is best to speak with an attorney promptly, especially if there are multiple parties, complex fault issues, or injuries requiring ongoing treatment.
Right after a bike crash, seek medical attention and, if appropriate, call the police to file a report. Exchange basic information with others involved and document the scene with photos if possible. Avoid admitting fault and preserve all notes, receipts, and records related to the incident.
Insurers review police reports, witness statements, medical records, and accident photos to determine fault. In California, fault can be shared among multiple parties, which may affect the amount you can recover. Your attorney helps gather and present evidence to support your claim.
You may recover medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, and non-economic damages such as pain and suffering. Depending on the case, future medical costs and rehabilitation may also be included in the settlement or judgment.
While you can pursue a claim on your own, having a lawyer helps manage paperwork, deadlines, and communications with insurers. An attorney can evaluate offers and pursue fair compensation based on your losses.
Medical treatment is typically paid through your health insurance or the at-fault party’s liability coverage. Your attorney can help manage liens and coordinate with providers while pursuing your claim. We coordinate care to document the impact of injuries on your daily life.
Comparative negligence means fault can be assigned to multiple parties, which can affect recovery. In California, you may still recover even if you share some fault, but your award is reduced by your percentage of fault.
Many bicycle crash claims settle without going to trial, but some cases proceed to court. A skilled advocate helps position you for a favorable outcome whether through a settlement or litigation.
If the other driver has no insurance, options may include pursuing uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage or other available sources. We evaluate all avenues to maximize your recovery.
