Right after a crash, seek medical attention if needed and call emergency services. If safe, move to a secure location, document the scene, and collect witness contact information. Do not admit fault.
Fault is determined by reviewing evidence such as traffic signals, vehicle behavior, road conditions, and police reports. In some cases multiple parties share responsibility under California comparative negligence rules.
Damages include medical bills, rehabilitation costs, lost wages, property damage, and non-economic losses like pain and suffering.
While you can file a claim on your own, having a bicycle accident attorney can improve communication with insurers, preserve rights, and help pursue full compensation.
