California Bicycle Laws and How They Affect Your Claim
California requires cyclists under 18 to wear helmets but adult cyclists are not legally required to do so. However if you were not wearing a helmet and were injured your compensation may be reduced under California’s comparative fault rules. Zade Law analyses every detail of your accident to minimise any fault attributed to you and maximise your recovery.
