My question involves an injury that occurred in the state of: CA
I was riding in a designated bike lane when a young man opened his car door into the lane. I struck the door
And fell off my bike. Cops were called ambulance came. I declined ambulance and med attention
But went to Dr next day for multiple scrapes bruises and cuts. I hit my head on pavement and was not wearing a helmet.
Police report revealed that young man was at fault he got a citation from cop. Police report also revealed he was on cell phone (18 year old) and had a medical marijuana card with marijuana in his possession in car.
I contacted a lawyer (a friend) who said get 3x med bills, and write a demand letter. I haven't finished the demand letter or sent it yet. The insurance co just called and I said Leave your info for my lawyer to contact. What now?
