Filing a Bicycle Accident Claim
Bicyclists are no match for large, heavy, fast-moving vehicles. Unfortunately, this means that bicyclists tend to sustain catastrophic injuries when they are hit by cars, trucks and other vehicles. It also means that motorists have a duty to do everything they can to avoid hitting bicyclists who are sharing the road. This means not only following the law and obeying ordinary traffic rules but also taking extra precautions to avoid collisions with bicyclists.
Unfortunately, many drivers fail to do this. When motorists are negligent, distracted, or reckless, they can cause devastating and sometimes fatal accidents. When this happens, injured victims or the surviving family members of those wrongfully killed are entitled to take legal action against the at-fault driver.
In order to bring a bicycle accident claim, you must prove the following:
- The driver (or another party) owed you a duty of care
- The other party breached the duty of care by acting negligently or wrongfully
- You were injured and/or suffered damages
- The other party’s conduct was the proximate cause of your injuries/damages
What If You Were Partially at Fault for the Bicycle Accident?
Just as motorists are required to obey the rules of the road, bicyclists also have a duty to follow the law. Bicycle laws vary from state to state, as well as from municipality to municipality, but they generally dictate how cyclists should share the road with vehicles, where they can and cannot ride, and safety equipment they are required to use. When cyclists do not obey these laws, they may be considered partially (or wholly) liable for an accident.
Damages in Bicycle Accidents
After a serious bike accident, you are likely to sustain severe injuries, leading to numerous challenges in your day-to-day life. By bringing a bicycle accident claim, you can seek compensation for all of your damages resulting from the accident.
In order to bring a bicycle accident claim, you must prove the following:
- All medical expenses related to your injuries, including:
- Emergency medical care
- Ambulance fees
- Hospitalization
- Ongoing and future treatments
- In-home care costs
- Surgery
- Medications
- Medical devices/equipment (e.g. wheelchairs, crutches, etc.)
- Lost income, wages, and employment benefits
- Lost future earnings and lost earning capacity due to disability
- Lost quality of life and inconvenience
- Pain and suffering, including emotional trauma, anxiety, PTSD, etc.
