In California, you generally have two years to file a personal injury claim, but some cases may be shorter or longer depending on the situation. It’s best to start with an evaluation.
You may recover medical expenses, wage loss, rehabilitation costs, and in some cases pain and suffering. The amount depends on fault, damages, and the timeline.

Most bicycle crash cases settle, but some go to trial if a fair settlement cannot be reached. We’ll guide you through both paths.
Fault is determined by driver behavior, traffic signals, and witness statements. We gather evidence to support your claim.
If the other driver is uninsured, you may still have options through your own uninsured motorist coverage or other parties. We review every avenue.
Medical insurance can help with treatment, but it does not usually determine settlement value. We work to ensure you are covered and compensated.
Partial fault does not necessarily bar recovery. California follows comparative fault rules, which adjust damages proportionally.
Attorney fees are typically paid on a contingency basis, meaning you pay a percentage of the recovery if there is one. There are no upfront costs in most cases.
