You can connect with our California bicycle accident lawyers right after an accident to learn more about your legal options.

How Can California Bicycle Accident Lawyers Help You After an Accident?

Working with a personal injury lawyer makes it easier for victims of bicycle accidents to manage communications with insurance adjusters while learning how to pursue compensation for their injuries.

Victims can file an insurance claim with a relevant provider, but they can alternatively file for support through California’s civil system.

It’s up to you to decide how you want to approach your recovery. Our legal team won’t pressure you to take any specific path; instead, we can discuss your goals for recovery and the tools that may help you reach them.

When Should You Call Sweet James Accident Attorneys?

The sooner you can get in touch with a California bicycle accident attorney after a collision, the easier it’s going to be to pursue accident compensation.

Fortunately, you can book a free case consultation with our staff immediately after a crash, without committing to long-term legal action.

If you do decide to move forward with a case in civil court, make sure you finalize and submit your paperwork before California’s personal injury statute of limitations, Cal. Code of Civ. Proc. § 335.1, expires. You only have two years from the day of your accident to move your case forward through the civil system.

Why Should You Work With Sweet James?

Working with Sweet James lets you connect with lawyers who utilize years of experience on your behalf. Our efforts have put money back into the hands of many accident victims, including people struggling to recover from serious bicycle accidents. We understand your pain and want to assist you with your case.

Most importantly, we do not add to your financial stress. We work on contingency, meaning that you won’t have to pay any upfront fees before starting to work with our staff. You don't have to worry about hourly fees or consultation invoices.

You only owe attorneys’ fees if we recover compensation in your bicycle accident case. (Clients may be responsible for other costs.)

How to File a Bicycle Accident Claim With California’s Civil Courts

Both bicycle accident insurance claims and lawsuits require you to present evidence that your injuries and other losses stemmed directly from someone else’s negligence. In other words, you need evidence if you want to move a claim forward.

Gathering evidence is easier when you can delegate responsibility for an investigation to an experienced attorney.

Our bicycle accident attorneys in California can begin compiling the data needed to argue that a liable party owed you a duty of care, violated that duty, and put you in harm’s way.

We can then compile our findings into a comprehensive claim and file it before your case’s statute of limitations expires. 

Filing a civil claim against a liable party does not require you to go to court. You can instead work with an attorney to negotiate for the compensation you may be entitled to based on the documented facts of your case.

However, you retain the right to go to trial if a liable party does not offer compensation that covers your losses.

What’s the Average Value of a Bicycle Accident Settlement?

There’s no overarching dollar value that we can assign to your bicycle accident case without conducting an individual investigation into your losses.

As such, we can never apply an “average” when seeking bicycle accident compensation for our clients.

Instead, we use concrete evidence to determine what economic and non-economic losses you’ve endured as a result of someone else’s negligence. This may include the cost of your emergency room care and ongoing medical procedures, in addition to your emotional distress, reduced quality of life, lost income, and property damage.

We can break down the process we use to assign a dollar value to these losses as we build out your case.
