Rules about bike lanes and who has the right of way vary by state and city. An attorney can explain how they apply.
Legal deadlines apply to every injury claim and vary by state. We can't tell you your deadline, so please don't wait to talk with an attorney.

Bicycle accident claim FAQ
Can I file if the crash involved a road hazard and not a car?
Yes. Describe the hazard and location. Claims involving public property can have special notice rules, so an attorney should review them promptly.
I was on an e-bike or scooter. Does that count?
Submit it. Choose 'Bicycle' or 'Other' and describe the vehicle.
