First steps after a bicycle crash include seeking medical attention and reporting the incident to the proper authorities. Gather as much information as possible, including contact details, vehicle descriptions, and any witness statements. Preserve photos or videos of the scene and your injuries to support your claim. A local attorney can help you organize this information and explain your options.
In California, you typically have two years from the date of the crash to file a personal injury claim, with exceptions for certain cases. It is important to start the process early to preserve evidence, communicate with insurers, and understand deadlines. An attorney can help you identify any applicable exceptions and protect your rights.
Yes, you can still recover if you were partially at fault. California follows a comparative negligence rule, which reduces your recovery by your percentage of fault. If another party is primarily at fault, you may still receive substantial compensation. A lawyer can help evaluate fault and maximize your share.
Damages in bicycle crash cases typically include medical expenses, lost wages, rehabilitation costs, and non-economic damages such as pain and suffering. In some situations, future medical needs and long-term impacts are considered. An attorney helps project full damages and document them with medical records and expert opinions.
While you can pursue a claim on your own, a bicycle accident attorney can improve your chances of a fair settlement, handle complex negotiations, and manage deadlines. We work on a contingency basis, meaning you don’t pay unless we recover compensation for you.
Fault is determined through evidence such as police reports, traffic camera footage, vehicle and bicycle damage, witness statements, and medical records. Investigating these elements carefully helps establish liability and strengthens your claim.
If the other driver is uninsured, you may still have options through uninsured motorist coverage or other responsible parties. An attorney can review your policy, advise you on next steps, and pursue available remedies.
Many bicycle crash cases settle out of court, but some may proceed to trial if a fair settlement cannot be reached. Our goal is to secure the best possible outcome for you, whether through settlement or litigation.
There is typically no upfront out-of-pocket cost to hire us. We work on a contingency basis, meaning fees are paid from a portion of any recovery. If there is no recovery, you owe nothing for our services.
