After a bike accident, what should I do?
You need to act quickly in two areas when a bicycle accident leaves you hurt. First and foremost, you need to take care of yourself physically by getting a medical diagnosis and beginning treatment for your wounds. You should still see a doctor for follow-up care even if you received treatment at the scene of the accident. If they have given you any suggestions, it is imperative that you implement them.
Additionally, your legal matter requires the services of an accomplished attorney. After an accident, the other driver’s insurance company might try to get in touch with you to exert pressure or acquire a statement. The insurance company isn’t on your side; they’re just trying to limit their financial losses. Without an attorney’s help, you run the greater danger of damaging your case.
When someone close to me dies in a bicycle accident, what will happen?
Depending on the circumstances, your loved ones may be able to sue the other motorist for wrongful death. In this scenario, the loss of a loved one constitutes personal damage to the family. Like other types of personal injury cases, you’ll need to show that the defendant’s negligence directly caused the decedent’s death in order to win a wrongful death lawsuit. What you’re able to recover from damages is unique to your situation.
As a family, you can get better:
- The amount of money your loved one would have made if they had continued working had they not died.
- Restitution for the pain of losing a loved one and the financial and emotional stability that person provided
- Damages for loss of companionship in this dwelling
- compensation for the pain of losing a loved one too soon
A survival lawsuit might be filed to compensate the family for the damages the decedent endured after the initial injury but before they passed away.
