This glossary explains essential terms used in bicycle crash claims in California.
In California, liability is determined using comparative fault rules, which reduce your compensation by your percentage of responsibility for the crash.
Damages include medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, and non-economic losses like pain and suffering.
Most personal injury claims in California must be filed within two years of the injury, with some exceptions.
Keep medical records, accident reports, witness contact information, and photographs to support your claim.
You may pursue a claim with the at-fault driver’s insurer, file a civil lawsuit, or seek a negotiated settlement after evaluation of your injuries and resources.
If injuries are minor and liability is straightforward, a focused negotiation and settlement can be efficient.
A limited approach may be appropriate to avoid lengthy litigation when damages are modest and medical costs are contained.
More serious injuries often require thorough investigation, expert review, and detailed damages calculations.
If a fair settlement cannot be reached, we prepare for trial and pursue all available remedies.
