In California, many law firms work on a contingency basis, so you typically pay nothing upfront unless you recover.

Insurance adjusters may propose quick settlements that do not fully cover medical costs or lost wages. It’s wise to consult an attorney before signing anything. An attorney can negotiate on your behalf and explain how medical records, wage losses, and future care affect the value of your claim.
Damages can include medical bills, rehabilitation costs, lost wages, and compensation for pain and suffering. You may also recover property damage to your bicycle and equipment, as well as projected future medical needs and ongoing care.
Helpful evidence includes crash photos, police reports, medical records, invoices, and witness contact information. Keep a detailed diary of symptoms and treatments, and organize receipts for any out-of-pocket expenses to strengthen your claim.
Even seemingly minor bike crashes can lead to injuries that worsen over time. A lawyer can assess whether pursuing compensation is right for you. You won’t be obligated to accept a settlement that doesn’t meet your needs; we review options and explain potential outcomes.
If the at-fault driver lacks insurance, you may still have options through your own insurance or underinsured motorist coverage. We review policy details and California law to determine the best path to recover medical costs, lost wages, and damages.
A crash in another state may involve different laws and deadlines. We can advise on jurisdiction and where to file based on the facts. If the incident has ties to Stonegate or California, there may be opportunities to pursue a claim here as well; our team can assess the options.
Fault is typically determined from traffic laws, police reports, witness statements, and physical evidence from the scene. A thorough investigation helps assign liability to the other driver, a city entity, or another party, depending on the circumstances.
