“I called RMD Law because our insurance wasn’t doing enough for our Car Accident Case”
I reached out for a consultation at 8pm and Aria walked us through the whole process. Aria and his team took exceptional care of us and made sure our needs were met, they arranged X-rays for my back, pain management, CT scans, fought the car insurance, and always checked on us to make sure we were okay.

San Jose, CA
The lawyers at RMD are everything you could want. They are experts in their field, and extremely efficient, thorough and caring. They called me back immediately and spent a substantial amount of time explaining the process to me and quite honestly calming me down. I never felt pressured or felt a salesman vibe. I did get the sense that I was in good hands. They handled everything with minimal stress for me, which was key. Thanks for everything.

I have worked with John, a managing partner, and have been very happy with his casual every-man approach to some rather complex issues. He put things in plain, easy to digest language and made me feel comfortable with the process and his handle on the situation. Would definitely recommend.
San Diego, CA
John went above and beyond to assist me with my personal injury case after I was involved in a car accident. I spoke to several attorneys regarding my case and although I decided against hiring one due to the minor damages on my car, John was the only attorney I felt like I could trust. I was truly blown away by his kindness, honesty, and willingness to answer all of my questions and go over different options with me. He truly went above and beyond and showed a great amount of compassion and integrity. If I'm ever involved in an accident again, I will not hesitate to call John at RMD Law.

Frequently Asked Questions
In California, the statute of limitations for filing bicycle injury claims is two years from the date of the accident. This means that you have two years from the date of the bicycle accident to file a lawsuit in civil court.
However, it’s important to note that there are certain exceptions and circumstances that can affect the statute of limitations such as:
• Discovery Rule – the victim is not immediately aware of the injury or it became apparent at a later date
• Minors – Minors generally have two years from the date of their 18th birthday to file a personal injury claim.
• Government claims – shorter timelines and additional requirements could be needed if the bicycle accident involved a government entity or employee
It’s best to consult with an experienced personal injury attorney as soon as possible after a bicycle accident. Legal experts can provide you with accurate information regarding the statute of limitations specific to your case and guide you through the process.
