Frequently Asked Questions

What are my rights as a cyclist in California?

Cyclists generally have the same rights and duties as drivers, and motorists must share the road and give you safe space.

Who is usually at fault in a bike versus car crash?

It is fact-specific, but drivers are often responsible in situations like right hooks, unsafe passing, and dooring a cyclist.

Does not wearing a helmet affect my claim?

Adults are not required to wear helmets in California. Going without one may affect head-injury damages but does not bar a claim when a driver was at fault.

How much is a bicycle accident case worth?

Cyclists often suffer serious injuries, so claims can be significant, but value depends on your medical care, lost income, and lasting effects.

What if the driver fled the scene?

A hit-and-run does not necessarily end your claim. Your uninsured motorist coverage may apply, and we work to identify the driver.

How long do I have to file in California?

Generally two years, but only six months when a government entity is involved, so act early.

What if I was partly at fault?

You can still recover under comparative negligence, with your compensation reduced by your share of fault.

How much does a bicycle accident lawyer cost?

Nothing upfront. We work on contingency, so you owe no attorney's fees unless we recover, and the consultation is free.

What should I do after a bicycle crash?

Get medical care, preserve your bike and gear without repairs, photograph the scene, and collect driver and witness information. Then contact a lawyer.

Do you handle bicycle accident cases statewide?

Yes. We represent injured cyclists throughout California from our Woodland Hills office.
