Question:
How does a bike accident claim differ from a normal auto accident claim?
Answer:
If you’ve been very seriously injured in a bicycle accident, your case is a bit different than cases involving cars. In some respects, there are similarities, at least in terms of the fact that you’ve been injured and need medical treatment. The biggest difference in a case like yours, however, is in who pays the medical bills and who pays the lost wages. If you’re involved in a car accident, you have no-fault car insurance, and your own insurance company is going to pay. That’s not applicable in bicycle accident cases.
It’s very important to see a lawyer right away to make sure that your claim for medical benefits and lost wages against the other driver is filed right away. If you don’t do that on time, you could be out of luck and not get your medical bills and lost wages paid. That’s the biggest difference that we see in bicycle cases and automobile cases.
