Bicycle Accident FAQs
Can AK Injury Law Firm afford to take on a complex or expensive case?
Yes. We advance every cost your case needs, including accident reconstruction, scene and video investigation, and medical experts, and we prepare every case to go to trial if the insurer will not pay fairly. You pay nothing up front, and if we do not win, you owe nothing: no attorney fee and no repayment of costs. We have recovered millions of dollars for injured clients, though past results do not guarantee a similar outcome. See our recent results.
Will I work directly with the attorney?
Yes. AK Injury Law Firm is a boutique firm, and Dr. Azadeh Keshavarz personally handles every case. You can reach her directly, and a dedicated case manager helps with day-to-day questions.
How much room must drivers give cyclists?
Drivers passing a bicycle in the same direction must leave at least three feet, and must change lanes to pass when one is available (Vehicle Code section 21760). A driver who passes too close may be at fault for the crash.
Who is responsible for a dooring crash?
California prohibits opening a car door into traffic unless it is reasonably safe (Vehicle Code section 22517). The person who opened the door is often responsible. Read how dooring accidents happen.
What if the driver fled the scene?
Leaving the scene of an injury crash is a crime in California (Vehicle Code section 20001). Your own auto policy’s uninsured motorist coverage may pay even though you were on a bike. See cyclists’ rights after a hit-and-run.
What laws do cyclists need to follow?
Cyclists have most of the same rights and duties as drivers. Learn more in what cyclists need to know about California bicycle laws and the City of San Diego’s Vision Zero program.
