What if the driver who hit me was uninsured or underinsured?
You may still be able to recover payment through your own auto insurance policy if you have Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UIM) coverage. This is designed for these exact situations. We can review your policy to determine your options.
How long do I have to file a bicycle accident claim in California?
In most personal injury cases, the statute of limitations in California is two years from the date of the accident. However, if a government entity is involved (such as a city bus or a poorly maintained public road), the deadline to file an initial claim can be as short as six months.
What if I was hit by a food delivery driver?
Accidents involving gig economy workers can be tricky because they may involve the driver’s personal insurance policy as well as coverage provided by the delivery company. We have experience with these cases and can identify all potential sources for recovery.
Do I still have a case if I wasn’t wearing a helmet?
If you are over 18, California law does not require you to wear a helmet. The other side may argue that your injuries would have been less severe if you had worn one, but it does not prohibit you from filing a claim.
Can I be compensated if a dangerous road condition caused my accident?
Yes. If a poorly designed or badly maintained road contributed to your crash, you might have a claim against the government entity responsible for that road. As mentioned, these cases have very short and strict deadlines, so it’s important to act quickly.
