Bicycle Accident: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Understanding California Law, Fault, and Cyclists’ Rights
Bicycle accident claims raise unique legal issues, including helmet laws, sidewalk riding rules, blind-spot collisions, and unfair insurance bias against cyclists. Below are clear, practical answers based on California law and real-world litigation experience to help injured riders protect their rights and recovery.
Yes. While CVC § 27803 mandates helmet use for all riders, a violation of this law does not
automatically bar you from recovery.
- Comparative Negligence: Under California’s "Pure Comparative Negligence" system, you can still recover for injuries to your arms, legs, or torso. The insurance company
must prove that a helmet would have significantly reduced your specific head injuries to
lower your payout. We work with medical experts to counter these "no-helmet" defense
tactics.
“I didn’t see him” is not a legal defense; it is an admission of a failure to maintain a proper
lookout. Drivers have a legal duty to check their “No-Zones” (blind spots) before merging or
turning. We use accident reconstruction to prove the driver had sufficient time and space to see
you if they had been attentive.
Sidewalk riding laws vary by city and county (e.g., LA vs. SF). Even if sidewalk riding is
prohibited in that specific zone, a driver exiting a driveway or turning into a parking lot still has
a Duty of Care to watch for all path users. A technical violation of a local ordinance does not
give a driver a "free pass" to strike a cyclist.
Insurance adjusters often use “Biker Bias”—the stereotype that riders are inherently
reckless—to offer lower settlements. A specialized lawyer understands the physics of these
crashes and knows how to use GoPro footage, ELD data from trucks, and “Black Box” data
from cars to prove the driver was at fault.
