Definitions for common terms you may encounter while pursuing a bicycle accident claim.
California follows a pure comparative fault system, which means your compensation can be reduced by your percentage of responsibility for the crash, if any.
Compensation may cover medical bills, lost wages, property damage, and non‑economic losses like pain and suffering.
In California, contributory negligence is addressed through comparative fault rules rather than a strict contributory negligence defense, allowing those with partial fault to recover proportionally.
