Report the accident and request medical assistance. An SDPD police report creates an official record of the collision and the driver’s information.
Photograph your bicycle, the vehicle, the road, traffic signals, and any bike lane markings. Note if the crash occurred near a protected lane on University or along the Bayshore Bikeway.
Visit Scripps Mercy Hospital or UC San Diego Health even if injuries seem minor. Head injuries, fractures, and internal injuries may not show symptoms immediately.
Insurance companies often undervalue cyclist claims. Phoong Law protects your rights and pursues full compensation.
San Diego consistently ranks among the most bike friendly cities in California, with infrastructure including the Bayshore Bikeway, protected lanes along University Avenue, and connections to Mission Bay and Coronado. Despite these improvements, cyclists remain vulnerable to distracted drivers, dooring incidents, and vehicles encroaching on bike lanes.
High traffic corridors like El Cajon Boulevard, University Avenue, and Pacific Highway see frequent bicycle collisions. California’s three foot passing law requires drivers to give cyclists at least three feet of clearance, but violations are common. Under California’s pure comparative negligence system, injured cyclists can recover compensation even if they share some fault.
Bicycle accident injuries are often severe because cyclists have no protection against impact with a vehicle. California law allows full recovery for all accident related losses, including extensive medical treatment and long term rehabilitation.
Emergency care at Scripps or UC San Diego Health, orthopedic surgery, dental reconstruction, and physical therapy for cycling injuries.
Wages lost during recovery and reduced earning capacity if injuries prevent you from returning to your previous work.
Physical pain, emotional trauma, scarring, and the impact on your ability to ride and enjoy daily activities.
Replacement or repair of your bicycle, helmet, and other gear damaged in the crash.

California Vehicle Code 21760 requires drivers to give cyclists at least three feet of clearance when passing. Violations of this law can establish driver negligence in a bicycle accident claim.
California only requires helmets for cyclists under 18. Not wearing a helmet as an adult does not prevent you from filing a claim, though it may affect compensation for head injuries.
Yes. Cyclists are legally allowed to ride on most San Diego roads. Under comparative negligence, you can recover compensation even if you were partially at fault.
Hit and run cases can still be pursued through your own uninsured motorist coverage. We also work to identify the driver through surveillance footage and witness statements.
California’s statute of limitations is two years from the date of the accident. Contact an attorney promptly to preserve evidence and protect your rights.
