Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do after a bicycle crash in Altadena?

Seek medical attention promptly and document injuries. Contact an attorney to understand your rights and start a claim before deadlines.

Fault is usually based on traffic laws and who acted negligently. Investigators review evidence like reports, witness statements, and video to establish responsibility.

Medical costs, lost wages, and damages for pain and suffering may be recoverable, depending on the case.

California has deadlines known as statutes of limitations; generally you must file within two years for personal injury, though some exceptions apply.

Having legal guidance helps protect your rights and navigate insurance, medical records, and settlement talks.

We focus on bike riders, understand local road conditions, and coordinate medical and investigative support.

Many cases settle out of court, but we prepare thoroughly for trial if needed to pursue fair compensation.

We typically work on a contingency basis, meaning payment is due only if we recover compensation.

Bring medical records, police report, insurance details, and any photos from the scene.

Timelines vary by case complexity, injuries, and insurer schedules; we aim for timely resolution while ensuring complete documentation.
