In bicycle crash cases, compensation typically covers medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and property damage. We assess all evidence and negotiate with insurers to pursue a fair settlement or pursue a suit if needed.
While you can file a claim without a lawyer, having experienced counsel helps protect your rights and may improve outcomes. A lawyer can handle communications, gather evidence, and explain options for the best path forward.
In California, most bicycle crash claims must be filed within a set time frame, typically two years. Acting promptly helps preserve evidence and strengthen your rights.
Fees often work on a contingency basis, meaning you pay only if we recover compensation. We discuss costs upfront during a free consultation.
Many cases settle without going to court, but some may require a trial to obtain fair compensation. We prepare every case for trial while pursuing favorable settlements.
The timeline varies by complexity, evidence, and insurer responses, but many cases move within months to a year. We’ll explain milestones and keep you informed at every stage.
If the driver is uninsured, you may still have options through your own uninsured motorist coverage or other liable parties. We review all possible sources of recovery and advise you on the best path.
Fault is often established through police reports, witness statements, vehicle damage, and medical evidence. We help you assemble a solid record to support your claim.
Photos of damage, skid marks, scene layout, and medical records are valuable. Keep all receipts, bills, and communication records for a complete file.
