A quick glossary of terms to help you understand the bicycle accident process.
Negligence means failing to exercise reasonable care, leading to injury or damage.
Liability refers to who is legally responsible for the crash and paying damages.

First, seek medical attention and call the police if needed. Collect evidence at the scene and exchange contact information. Avoid giving statements to insurers before speaking with a lawyer. We can review any letters or offers before you respond. Second, contact Ling Law Group to review your rights and options, and to discuss potential next steps.
California has a two year statute of limitations for personal injury cases, with some exceptions for minors and other special cases. It is important to consult with a lawyer early to protect your rights.
You may be eligible for medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, and non economic damages for pain and suffering. An attorney can help calculate future medical care and long term impacts.
While you can file a claim on your own, a bicycle accident attorney can help identify liable parties, gather evidence, negotiate with insurers, and pursue maximum recovery on your behalf.
Fault is determined from police reports, witness statements, scene analysis, and medical records. A thorough investigation helps assign proper liability.
Reasonable settlements reflect the injuries, losses, and near term and long term care needs. Each case varies and a lawyer helps assess value.
Some cases settle before trial, others go to court depending on the facts, insurer responses, and the strength of the evidence.
Many lawyers work on a contingency basis, meaning you pay nothing upfront and legal fees are paid from any recovery. If there is no recovery, there is no fee.
Partial fault does not prevent recovery entirely. In California you may still recover a portion based on your share of fault.
