Core steps include gathering evidence, determining fault, calculating damages, negotiating with insurers, and pursuing a fair settlement or court resolution.
This glossary explains common terms you will encounter during a bicycle accident case.
Liability means who is legally responsible for the crash; fault determines how much responsibility each party bears.
Damages refer to money recovered for medical bills, lost wages, repair costs, and pain and suffering.
California uses comparative negligence rules, which reduce compensation based on the percentage of fault attributed to you or others.
In California, most personal injury claims must be filed within two years of the injury, with some exceptions.
You may pursue a settlement, file an insurance claim, or file a personal injury lawsuit. Each path has different timelines, costs, and chances of recovery.
