In California, bicycle accident injury claims usually must be filed two (2) years from the date of the accident. If the claim is not resolved by settlement (usually with the insurance companies) then a lawsuit should be filed within two (2) years of the accident or the claimant will be forever barred from seeking money damages for personal injuries resulting from the accident. Therefore, it is essential that injured parties who believe they have a claim seek out professional assistance as soon as possible after the accident in order to best protect their rights.
