Essential terms you should know when pursuing a bicycle accident claim.

While you can pursue a claim without a lawyer, having an attorney increases the likelihood of a fair settlement and helps avoid common mistakes.
Fault is determined through evidence such as police reports, witness statements, vehicle damage, and scene photos. California uses comparative negligence rules to adjust recovery.
Compensation may cover medical expenses, wage loss, property damage, and pain and suffering.
Recovery time varies by injury. Some people can return to work quickly, others need extended time off. We help estimate financial needs.
Photos of the crash, bike damage, clothing, medical records, and the police report are key. Collect and preserve evidence as you heal.

Most bicycle accident cases use a contingency fee structure, meaning you pay nothing upfront and the lawyer is paid from any recovery, with details discussed in your free consultation.
