Cyclists injured due to the negligence or inattention of motorists may be entitled to a variable amount of monetary compensation. Furthermore, drivers that are found responsible for cyclists’ injuries may be held liable for a variety of different expenses, including (but not limited to):
- lost wages (present and future)
- medical expenses
- hospitalization fees
- rehabilitation costs
- physical pain and suffering
- mental anguish and other related damages
There are several external factors that may cause a cyclist to be injured, including (but not limited to):
- Failure to yield by motorists
- Bike lane intrusion
- DUI (driving under the influence)
- Distracted driving
- Poorly maintained roads (potholes, debris, etc.)
- Poor lighting
- Dooring (open doors of parked vehicles obstructing cyclists)
There are several ways to determine who the at-fault party is and prove liability. Witnesses, surveillance cameras, authorities, and physical evidence are all assets you can use to prove liability of the responsible party. Also, utilize your state’s vehicle code to show that you were within your rights as a cyclist when the accident occurred. Most importantly, do not speak with anybody representing the at-fault party, such as their insurance, before your attorney.
Again, it is highly recommended that you hire a personal injury attorney to represent you in these matters. Not only will this allow you to focus on recovery while our firm does the heavy lifting, but professional counsel might make a difference of hundreds of thousands of dollars in your settlement. Don’t wait
