How does a victim protect their rights after a bicycle accident?
The aftermath of a bicycle accident is overwhelming, so it’s crucial to take immediate steps in order to protect your rights. First, seek medical attention. Even if you feel okay, some injuries may not be evident immediately. Document everything, including details of the accident and photos of both the scene and your injuries, if visible. Witnesses can be critical, so obtain their contact information if possible. It’s also essential not to admit fault, or discuss any details of the accident, with anyone other than the police.
Following these initial steps, it’s wise to reach out to us at Braff. Our personal injury lawyers offer a free initial consultation, and we’re available 24/7 to discuss your case. Remember, you’re not alone in this. We work on a contingency fee basis and assign a dedicated case manager to each case, since we understand every situation is unique. By entrusting your case to us, you significantly improve your chances of getting the full compensation you deserve. We have a local presence, ensuring that we’re not only familiar with the law, but also with your community.
How long does one have to file a personal injury claim after a bicycle accident in California?
In California, the general rule is you have two years from the date of an accident to file a personal injury claim. This period is known as the "statute of limitations." The clock starts ticking the moment the accident occurs. However, every case is unique, and certain circumstances can affect this timeframe. So contact our experienced personal injury team at Braff Law Offices as soon as possible. Our bicycle accident personal injury lawyers offer a free initial consultation, and we guide you through the entire legal process. We're available 24/7 to discuss your case for free, providing you with valuable insights tailored to your situation. It's also worth noting we operate on a contingency fee basis, meaning you won't pay anything until we win your case.
What if the bicycle rider was not wearing a helmet at the time of the accident?
California law requires cyclists under the age of 18 to wear a helmet (but not adults). If you weren’t wearing a helmet at the time of your accident, this might impact your case (depending on the injuries you suffered). For example, if you suffered a head injury, the defense might argue your injury would have been less severe (or avoided altogether) if you’d worn a helmet.
At Braff Law Offices we understand all of these nuances and work to counter such arguments. We analyze every claim individually, to decide if you have a valid case – and how we can develop the strongest lawsuit in your favor.
What factors influence the outcome of a bicycle accident case?
Several factors influence the outcome of your bicycle accident case, such as the severity of your injuries, the total amount of your medical bills, your loss of earnings, and how the accident has affected your life. The strength of the evidence, and whether you share any fault in the accident, also influence the outcome.
At Braff Law, we understand every case is unique. Our personal injury lawyers are experienced in handling a wide variety of bicycle accident cases. We’re available for you 24/7 to discuss yours. With our free initial consultation and work on a contingency fee basis, we’re committed to getting you the compensation you deserve.
Watch Out
The claims process in a bicycle accident case begins with reporting the accident to the respective insurance companies. Next, you need to gather evidence and develop an estimate of your damages. Then, with our help, you negotiate a settlement with the at-fault party's insurance company. If a fair settlement isn't reached, you will likely need to file a lawsuit. This is a complex process, so hiring an experienced personal injury law firm is crucial. At Braff, we handle all stages of the claims process for you, from our free initial consultation to negotiating a settlement, or fighting for your rights in court.

Bicycle Injury Claims Most Frequently Asked Questions
Can I still file a claim if I was partially at fault for the bicycle accident?
Absolutely. Even if you share some responsibility, you still have the right to proper compensation. California operates under a “comparative negligence” rule, meaning your compensation may be reduced by your percentage of fault; however, it won’t eliminate your right to recover damages.
This is a complex area of law, so it’s essential to have experienced personal injury lawyers by your side. At Braff Law Offices, our bicycle accident personal injury lawyers offer a free initial consultation, and we’re available 24/7 to discuss your case. Offering clients a contingency fee payment basis, we won’t charge unless we win your case. Our local presence ensures we understand your community’s specific legal climate, making us better equipped to handle your claim.
What types of damages can I recover in a bicycle accident lawsuit?
In a bicycle accident lawsuit, you may be able to recover both “economic” and “non-economic” damages. Economic damages cover measurable losses like medical expenses, lost wages, and loss of earning capacity (present and future). Non-economic damages cover intangible losses such as pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life.
It’s essential to have a seasoned personal injury law firm on your side to accurately estimate all of these damages. At Braff Law, our team is skilled at calculating and negotiating for full compensation for our clients. Our personal injury lawyers offer a free initial consultation, and we’re available 24/7 to discuss your case.
How are medical bills paid following a bicycle accident?
After a bicycle accident, medical bills may be covered initially by your health insurance. However, you may be entitled to have these expenses (and other related costs) reimbursed through a personal injury claim.
This is where Braff comes in. Our experienced personal injury lawyers work tirelessly to ensure you’re not burdened with medical expenses resulting from an accident that wasn’t your fault. We’re available 24/7 for a free consultation, and we operate on a contingency fee basis, so we get paid only when you do. Reach out to our dedicated team right away to discuss your case and explore all your legal options.
Who pays for the property damage to my bicycle?
Generally, the party at fault for the accident is responsible for the property damage; this includes damage to your bicycle. The at-fault party’s insurance company should cover these costs – but dealing with insurance claims isn’t always easy.
At Braff Law Firm, our experienced personal injury lawyers guide you through this complex process, ensuring you’re compensated fairly for your property damage. We operate on a contingency fee basis, so you don’t pay attorney fees until we win your case. With our free initial consultation and 24/7 availability, you’ll have access to the highest quality legal advice whenever you need it. Our local presence and dedicated case managers mean you’ll receive exceptional personalized service.
How can Braff Law Offices help if the responsible party denies liability?
If the responsible party denies liability, this makes the claims process more complex. But at Braff, we thrive on the challenge. We’ll use all the available evidence to build a strong case and prove the other party’s liability. We’re well-versed in negotiating with stubborn insurance companies, and if necessary, we aren’t afraid to take your case to court.
With a dedicated case manager for every client, we ensure a personalized approach to your case. We’re available 24/7 to discuss your case and operate on a contingency fee basis: you won’t pay a dime until we win your case.
