Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a lawyer for my bicycle accident case?

While you can pursue a bicycle accident claim on your own, hiring an experienced personal injury lawyer can greatly improve your chances of obtaining fair compensation. A lawyer can handle negotiations with insurance companies, gather necessary evidence, and represent you in court if needed, allowing you to focus on your recovery.

How long do I have to file a bicycle accident claim?

In California, the statute of limitations for filing a personal injury claim related to a bicycle accident is generally two years from the date of the accident. However, there are exceptions, such as cases involving a government entity, where the timeframe could be shorter. It is important to consult with an attorney as soon as possible to ensure all deadlines are met and to preserve your legal rights.

Who can be held liable in a bicycle accident case?

Liability in a bicycle accident case can extend to multiple parties, depending on the circumstances. Potential liable parties include negligent drivers, municipalities responsible for road maintenance, manufacturers of defective bicycle parts, or other cyclists or pedestrians. A thorough investigation by your lawyer will help identify all responsible parties to maximize your compensation.

What types of compensation can I seek for a bicycle accident injury?

For a bicycle accident injury, you may be eligible to receive compensation for medical expenses (both past and future), rehabilitation costs, lost wages, loss of earning capacity, pain and suffering, property damage to your bicycle and gear, and emotional distress. The amount of compensation will depend on the severity of your injuries and the impact on your life.

How do I know if I have a valid bicycle accident claim?

You may have a valid bicycle accident claim if the accident was caused by someone else’s negligence, such as a driver failing to yield, a distracted driver, or a hazardous road condition. An attorney can help assess your case by reviewing the details of the accident, including witness statements, police reports, and any available video footage or photos.

What should I do if I’m involved in a bicycle accident?

If you are involved in a bicycle accident, first ensure your safety and seek medical attention, even if you feel fine initially, as some injuries may not be immediately apparent. Report the accident to the police and get a copy of the report. Gather information from witnesses and take photos of the accident scene, your injuries, and any property damage. Avoid discussing the details of the accident or admitting fault until you have spoken with a lawyer.

What should I do after an accident or injury?

After an accident, prioritize safety by moving to a secure location and seeking immediate medical attention, even if injuries seem minor. Document the scene by taking photos and gathering witness information, and file a police report to ensure an official record. Keep detailed records of all medical treatments and related expenses. Before speaking with insurance companies, consult a personal injury lawyer to protect your rights and ensure your claim is handled properly.

What types of compensation can I seek in a personal injury case?

You may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and property damage. In severe cases, additional compensation for long-term disability or loss of quality of life may also be pursued.

How long do I have to file a personal injury lawsuit?

The statute of limitations for filing a personal injury lawsuit is generally two years from the date of the accident in most states. It’s important to consult with an attorney promptly to ensure your claim is filed on time.

How do I know if I have a valid personal injury claim?

To have a valid claim, you must prove that another party’s negligence caused your injury. An attorney can help assess the specifics of your case and determine the best course of action.

Will my case go to court?

Many personal injury cases are settled out of court through negotiations. However, if a fair settlement cannot be reached, your case may proceed to court, where a judge or jury will decide the outcome.

How long does it typically take to resolve a personal injury claim?

The timeline for resolving a claim varies depending on the complexity of the case and whether it goes to trial. It could take anywhere from several months to a few years, depending on the circumstances.
