jared batsonAs a bicyclist, you need to be aware of your surroundings when you are traveling on the same roads as large motor vehicles. Unfortunately, even when you are paying close attention to other cars and traffic lights, a collision is sometimes unavoidable.
When a car hits you while you’re on your bike, you have the right to seek full compensation for all of your resulting damages. Below, we discuss potential at-fault parties and the amount you can expect to be awarded when you sue after getting hit by a car on your bike.
Who to Name in Your Bicycle Injury Claim
Because you were hit by a car, your initial reaction may be to assume that the driver is going to be responsible for the accident. This could be the case, especially if the driver was under the influence or distracted at the time of the accident.
However, other parties could have played a part in the cause of your injuries. Maybe the car hit a huge pothole that sent the vehicle in your direction, or perhaps the car itself malfunctioned due to a defective part. A government road safety authority or automaker, respectively, could be to blame for those cases.
Your Civil Lawsuit Damages
Cyclists often suffer permanently disabling injuries after being struck by a motor vehicle. A bicycle is simply no match for a multi-ton vehicle traveling at high speed. When your injuries are this severe, you’ll need as much monetary repayment as you can get.
You can expect your injury lawyer to seek compensation for your financial, psychological, and physical losses, as well as for the impact that your injuries have had on your personal relationships and ability to enjoy your life.
