Bicycle accident

Cyclists are exposed in a collision and often suffer serious injuries. We help you understand your options and pursue the compensation you are owed.

## Help after a bicycle crash

A collision between a vehicle and a bicycle can cause severe injuries, and sorting out the causes and the insurance issues on your own is difficult. Whether or not you have decided to file a claim, it is worth talking with an attorney to understand your situation.

We work with people injured in bicycle accidents to evaluate the claim, deal with the insurance companies, and pursue compensation for medical care, lost income, and the lasting effects of the injury.

## Why representation matters

Insurers know that handling a claim alone is stressful and that an unrepresented cyclist is easier to underpay. Having an attorney who understands how insurers evaluate these claims helps level the field.

Common questions

## Bicycle accident FAQs

### Do I have a claim if I was riding outside a bike lane?

Possibly. California's pure comparative negligence rule means you can still recover even if you were partly at fault, with your compensation reduced by your share. The details matter, so it is worth having your situation reviewed.

### What compensation may be available?

Depending on your case, you may recover medical costs, lost income, property damage, and non-economic damages such as pain and suffering. We work to document every category of loss.

### How long do I have to file in California?

Most California bicycle accident injury claims must be filed within two years, with shorter deadlines for claims involving a government entity. [CONFIRM: confirm the deadline that applies to your claim]
