A crash involving a cyclist and another vehicle or hazard, resulting in injury or property damage and potentially giving rise to a liability claim under state law.
California follows comparative negligence, meaning damages may be reduced if you share some fault for the crash. Our team helps determine fault and pursue compensation accordingly.
Compensable losses such as medical costs, rehabilitation, time off work, and pain and suffering, assessed to reflect the impact of the crash on your life.
The deadline to file a bicycle accident claim in California is typically two years from the date of the crash, with some exceptions. Prompt legal advice helps protect your rights.
Clients have choices between filing a civil claim, negotiating settlements, or pursuing alternate dispute resolution. Each option has pros and cons depending on the injuries, fault, and available evidence. We help you evaluate paths and choose the best approach for your situation.
If the crash involves a clear at-fault driver, minimal medical treatment, and strong evidence, a prompt settlement may be possible without extended litigation.
If witnesses, photos, and injury documentation support a quick resolution, a limited process can be appropriate to secure timely compensation.

Partial fault does not always bar recovery. California uses comparative negligence rules; you may still recover a portion of damages minus your share of fault.
Medical bills are typically included in the claim, with negotiation or repayment arrangements as appropriate depending on coverage and lien issues.
Loss of earnings can be recovered as long as medical documentation connects your absence to the crash and you have evidence of missed work.
Legal representation fees are commonly on a contingency basis, meaning payment comes from a portion of the recovery and is not due upfront.
