Key terms used in bicycle accident cases and how they apply in California law.
Negligence means failing to use reasonable care, which results in harm to another person.
California uses comparative negligence in assigns fault by degree, and your recovery may be reduced proportionally to your share of responsibility.

Damages refer to money awarded to cover medical bills, lost income, and other losses caused by the crash.
Options include settling with the insurer, filing a personal injury lawsuit, or pursuing alternative dispute resolution. We help you choose the route that fits your situation.
