First, seek medical attention, even for symptoms that seem mild. Call local authorities to file a crash report and obtain a copy for your records. If possible, document the scene with photos, gather contact information from witnesses, and exchange details with the other involved party. After safety and medical needs are addressed, contact a bicycle accident attorney to review your options and next steps.
Fault in California bicycle crashes is generally evaluated under comparative negligence rules. Your eligibility for compensation may be affected if you share some responsibility for the crash. We help analyze the evidence—traffic patterns, road conditions, rider and driver actions—to determine fault and pursue appropriate remedies.
You may recover medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, lost wages, and pain and suffering. In some cases, compensation may also cover property damage to your bicycle and future medical needs. We work to document all losses and present a clear claim to insurers or in court if needed.
California law generally provides two years to file a personal injury claim, but certain circumstances can shorten or extend that window. It’s important to consult promptly to protect your rights and preserve evidence. Delays can affect your ability to recover full compensation.
While you can file a claim on your own, a bicycle accident attorney can help you navigate complex insurance processes, gather essential evidence, and pursue a fair settlement or litigation strategy. Representation can improve the likelihood of a timely and favorable outcome.

Many bicycle accident cases settle before trial, but some require court proceedings to secure fair compensation. We assess the case, negotiate firmly with insurers, and prepare for trial if a settlement cannot be reached. Your best interests guide every decision.
If the at-fault driver is uninsured or underinsured, we explore all available avenues for recovery, including sources such as uninsured motorist coverage and other liable parties. We thoroughly analyze your policy and applicable options.
Fees for bicycle accident representation are typically structured as a contingency, meaning payment is due only if we recover compensation. If there is no recovery, there is usually no attorney fee. We will explain costs up front during your free consultation.
Case duration varies with complexity, injuries, and insurer responses. Some matters resolve in weeks, while others take months. We focus on efficient progress, clear communication, and timely updates throughout the process.
