Were You in an Accident While Riding Your Bike? Here Is What to Do.
To aid a possible injury claim, follow these five steps after a bicycle accident:
- Do not ride away, even if there are no immediate signs of injuries. Treat the accident like a car crash.
- Collect information from those involved in the accident. This can include a person’s name, phone number, license plate number, and insurance information.
- Contact law enforcement and request a police report. This will provide an official account of the accident, which could be essential for making a claim.
- Seek medical care as soon as possible. A doctor can assess and treat injuries and create a detailed record. Remember, with head injuries sometimes it takes days for the symptoms to occur.
- Consult with a lawyer. They can offer information about making a claim. Plus, an attorney can negotiate with insurance companies and the at-fault party’s lawyers to reach a fair settlement.
Proving Liability in Bicycle Accident Cases
Generally, if a driver, pedestrian, or property owner acts negligently and causes a bicyclist to crash and sustain injuries, they can be liable.
Damages You Can Recover After a Bicycle Accident
After a bicycle accident, a person could have to pay for medical treatments, surgeries, medications, and medical devices. Not only that, but they could miss work, potentially lowering their normal wages. These are two common examples of the economic damages parties can pursue via an injury claim. Others include the cost of replacing a bike or other damaged property and rehabilitation expenses.
In addition to economic damages, parties can pursue non-economic damages. These are harder to quantify because they are subjective. Examples include loss of enjoyment of life, scarring, disfigurement, pain, and suffering.
