If you’ve been involved in a bicycle accident, taking the right steps early on is crucial to protecting both your health and your legal rights. First, call 911 to report the accident and request medical assistance, even if you think your injuries are minor. A police report can be a vital piece of evidence in your case. If you are physically able, gather important details at the scene\u2014take photos of your bike, any vehicles involved, visible injuries, road conditions, and traffic signs. Collect the driver\u2019s contact and insurance information, as well as names and phone numbers of any witnesses.<\/p>

Avoid making any statements that could be interpreted as admitting fault. Even a simple apology can be used against you later. Be sure to preserve your damaged bike, helmet, and clothing\u2014they may serve as evidence. Refrain from speaking with insurance adjusters before consulting an attorney, as their goal is often to minimize payouts.<\/p>

Yes. Drivers are responsible for checking blind spots and ensuring it is safe to change lanes or turn. You may still have a strong case even if they claim they didn\u2019t see you.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Yes. While helmet use may impact certain claims (especially for head injuries), it does not prevent you from pursuing a case for the driver\u2019s negligence.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Hit-and-run bicycle accidents are unfortunately common. You may still be eligible for compensation through uninsured motorist coverage or legal action once the driver is identified.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

In most cases, the statute of limitations is two years<\/strong> from the date of the accident. However, shorter time frames may apply for government entities.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

    Yes. California follows comparative fault<\/strong> rules, meaning your compensation may be reduced by your percentage of fault\u2014but you can still recover damages.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
