Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do immediately after a bicycle accident?
Seek medical attention first, even for seemingly minor injuries. Document the scene with photos, get witness contact information, file a police report, and avoid discussing fault. Contact an attorney before speaking with insurance companies to protect your rights.
Can I recover compensation if I wasn't wearing a helmet?
Yes. While California requires helmets for cyclists under 18, adult cyclists can still recover compensation even without a helmet. The absence of a helmet may affect certain damage claims but doesn't bar recovery for injuries unrelated to head trauma.
What if the driver claims they didn't see me?
Drivers have a legal duty to watch for cyclists and share the road safely. 'I didn't see them' is not a valid defense. Our attorneys demonstrate how driver negligence, distraction, or failure to check blind spots caused your accident.
How are dooring accidents handled legally?
California Vehicle Code 22517 prohibits opening car doors unless it's safe to do so. Dooring accidents are typically clear liability cases where the person opening the door is at fault. We help victims recover full compensation for these preventable accidents.
What if I was riding in a bike lane when hit?
Cyclists in bike lanes have strong legal protection. Drivers who enter bike lanes illegally or fail to yield when turning across them are typically liable. We use traffic laws and evidence to prove driver negligence in bike lane accidents.
How long do I have to file a bicycle accident claim?
California's statute of limitations is generally two years from the accident date for personal injury claims. However, claims against government entities require notice within six months. Contact us immediately to ensure your rights are protected.
