Top Los Angeles Bicycle Accident Attorney

Most bicyclists are not aware that they can get compensated when involved in a bicycle crash. Whether it be a few broken bones, a head injury, brain injury, lacerations, or any other type of series injuries, you can make a bicycle accident claim, and there are various types of compensation you can receive. However, it would be best to reach out to a law firm with a bicycle accident attorney to help you with your case so you can get the compensation you deserve for your injury claim.

If you or a loved one have recently been involved in a bicycle accident, do not contact your insurance company first. Instead, get a professional and experienced bike accident attorney to work on your case, so you can be fully compensated as you focus on your recovery. It is worth mentioning that a fee is only applicable if and when the case is won.

 

What to Do When You’re in a Bicycle Accident

Suppose you are involved in a bike crash. Avoid negotiating with the driver or other motorists regardless of whether you were in the right of way or not. There is no point figuring out who is in the right and who is in the wrong. Instead, ensure you get off the road first, call the police and take pictures of your bicycle and your injuries as you wait for the police to arrive.

It is often best to wait for the police to get to the scene so you can file a detailed police report and the incident is documented, not forgetting the identity of any witnesses present.

Get the driver’s insurance information and their name, and the name of the passenger they may be with. Ensure that you contact your attorney first and not your insurance policy provider. It would also be best to go to the emergency room and get checked out since you will need the medical records as proof of your injury. However, if you have serious injuries, ask someone else to help you with this.

It is also worth mentioning that you should always observe bicycle safety when you are out cycling, following the traffic laws, stopping at stop signs, and so on. When it is safe, cycle on the bike lanes and avoid cycling in poor road conditions, especially roads with potholes. Remember to take the information of the officer who will take your report. Do not lose any of the information you collect about the crash since this will be used as evidence.

Items You’ll Need to Build a Strong Case if You’re in a Bicycle Accident

When you are involved in a bicycle accident, suppose you want to file a lawsuit as an injured cyclist. There are several items you will need if you intend to build a strong case. As mentioned earlier, you need to keep a record of any documents associated with the accident.

This is the only way you can prove how severe the accident was and, and it also helps you build a strong personal injury case. This is also another reason you should seek legal advice from a bicycle accident lawyer, because they will help you collect and have all the necessary documents to build your case. Listed below are some of the items you will need to build a strong case if you are in a bicycle accident.

•    Have pictures of your bicycle and injuries from the accident scene as well as any motor vehicles involved.

•    Have a record of all your medical bills and documentation of medical treatment.

•    Do not replace or fix your bicycle. Instead, find out how much repair will cost or the cost of a new and similar one. Ensure this is in writing.

•    Have the information of the driver and witnesses from the scene.

•    If you have not been able to work after your accident, show proof of your lost wages.

•    If the accident was severe and you require assistive devices and physical therapy, you will need proof.

•    Have proof of the emotional distress the accident caused you.

Factors to Consider for Bicycle Accident Case Compensation

Figuring out how to solve a bicycle accident compensation case can be quite complex. Luckily, your attorney will deal with that. Fundamentally, the damages associated with the accident are what determine the compensation.

The problem is that the term ‘damages’ is a very wide umbrella term. Damages are more than just financial. Emotional damages also require compensation, and this may be harder to put a price on. Discussed below are factors to consider for bicycle accident case compensation.

Emotional Distress

The accident’s severity and how that traumatic event has affected your life are often considered in your case compensation.

Pain and Suffering

The emotional trauma, pain, and discomfort you experience from the crash demand compensation. You may have healed but still, experience pain from the injury.

Loss of Enjoyment

If after the accident you are unable to participate in activities and hobbies you used to enjoy and take part in regularly, you can be compensated.

Loss of Consortium

Your partner can be compensated if the accident rendered you incapable of particular services that you would otherwise have been able to offer them. This includes the ability to have children, sex, care, affection, and assistance.

Medical Expenses

You will be compensated for all the medical expenses you incurred in the past related to the accident and any other medical expenses you will incur in the future due to the accident. The same applies to lost wages.

Essentially, you will be compensated for financial damages for things like your inability to earn, do house chores, repair or replace the damaged property, and any expenses for activities you cannot do due to the injury.
