Compensation for Bicycle Injury
- Can I Receive compensation if the Vehicle Never Hit Me?
It may be possible to receive compensation for your injuries even if the vehicle did not actually make contact with you. If the driver's negligence resulted in a bicyclist making an evasive action to avoid a collision the motorist may still be held responsible for the accident..
- Who Will Pay For the Cost of My Injuries?
If the driver negligently caused the bicycle accident and you have suffered injuries you may be able to recover the cost of your injuries from their insurance company if they have coverage. If they do not have insurance, you may be able to recover damages from your own uninsured motorist coverage. Most auto policies will cover you if you have a bicycle accident.
It is important to consult a personal injury attorney prior to discussing the case with an insurance company. Often an attorney is able to negotiate a higher settlement offer.
