What Are the Types of Bicycle Accident Damages?
There are two types of damages that are related to a bicycle accident. They are your economic damages and your non-economic damages.
Economic damages are to compensate you for all of the ways in which you were financially affected by your bicycle accident. Many people lose money because of missed time at work. If being on a bike was a large part of how they made money (delivering food, for example), then an injury that prevents you from traveling on your bike can hit your bank account hard. That is on top of the medical expenses that may be burying you.
Non-economic damages have more to do with how your life has been negatively affected. A lot of people have to deal with mental health decline due to their accidents. If bicycling was something that brought you joy, you likely are experiencing a lot of sadness. Pain and suffering are also very important when calculating your compensation.
How Do I Get Full Compensation for My Bicycle Accident Damages?
Compensation will come from the liable party’s insurance company. This is going to be in the form of monetary awards.
It all begins with the collection of evidence. Evidence can give us the proof that we need in order to properly identify the liable party.
Once we know who the liable party is, we can file a claim against them to get the compensation you deserve. This compensation, again coming from the insurance company, will cover the damages mentioned above.
We go through negotiations with the insurance company to get them to come to us with a fair settlement offer. If they cannot provide us with a fair amount, we can take them to trial.
