Our law firm recognizes that bicyclists who are injured by cars and trucks through no fault of their own often experience serious injuries that require expensive medical treatments and other therapies.
Your options for being compensated for your injuries depend upon who is at fault for the accident. California is a shared negligence state. This means you could be partly at fault for the accident. That doesn’t mean you won’t be compensated for your injuries, it just means that you might not be compensated for 100 percent of your damages.
For example, if you are riding at night without a light on your bicycle when you are hit by a motorist, there will be a percentage of fault assessed to you. i.e., you might be 20 percent at fault, so you will collect 80 percent of your damages.
