Understanding Bicycle Accident Injury Treatment
Bicycle accidents involving motor vehicles create unique injury patterns because cyclists, like pedestrians, lack the protective structure of a vehicle. The most common injuries include shoulder separations from impact with the ground, wrist fractures from bracing, spinal injuries from direct collision, and concussions. Additionally, road rash can complicate underlying musculoskeletal injuries. Bicycle accident claims often involve complex liability questions, making thorough medical documentation even more important.

Proper medical documentation is the backbone of any personal injury claim. Here's why the right chiropractor makes all the difference:
California Law & Your Bicycle Accident Claim
California is an at-fault state, meaning the driver who caused the accident (or their insurance company) is responsible for paying your medical expenses and other damages. The statute of limitations for personal injury claims in California is 2 years. After this deadline, you lose the right to file a lawsuit for your injuries. California uses a pure comparative fault system, meaning you can recover damages even if you were partially at fault, though your recovery will be reduced by your percentage of fault. Medical Payments (MedPay) coverage is available in California and can help cover chiropractic treatment costs regardless of fault determination.

Yes. If a motor vehicle caused your bicycle accident, the driver's liability insurance covers your injuries. In no-fault states, your own auto insurance PIP may also apply if you are a named insured, even though you were on a bicycle. If you don't have auto insurance, you may still file a claim against the driver.
