If I am Injured in an Accident While Riding My Bike in Tennessee, What Can I Do?
People who ride bikes and people who drive cars have equal rights and protections on the road. More people are choosing to ride their bikes in Nashville and across the country. This increase in bike riders has also increased the number of accidents involving bikes and cars. Many of these crashes are due to drivers not paying enough attention and being neglectful. People who ride bikes are more likely to get seriously injured in a crash because they are not as well protected as those who drive or ride in vehicles. If you or someone you care about were the victim of a bicycle crash with a car or truck, then you should talk to a Tennessee bicycle accident and personal injury attorney with the Higgins Firm right away. Our lawyers will listen to your claim and help you get compensated for the injuries you have suffered.
If a person driving a car or truck is responsible for a crash with a bicycle rider and the rider suffers injuries, then the bicycle rider may file a lawsuit against the person who drove the car or truck for compensation for any injury that they received. The compensation that the bicycle rider may receive includes any compensation for pain, medical bills and treatment, physical therapy or other therapy costs, loss of income, compensation if the injured person has become disabled, and any other compensation that may relate to the bicycle riders’ particular claim.
What Steps are Taken Following a Bicycle Accident
After a crash occurs with a car or truck and a person on their bicycle, the person driving the car or truck should provide the name of their insurance provider. If you are contacted by the driver’s insurance company it is important to remember that they are not on your side. The insurance provider almost always tries to limit how much their client is exposed and will want to settle your case as fast as they can for as little money as they can. Sometimes though, you may not be aware of how bad your injury may be until a doctor is able to diagnose you Since you do not know how severe your injury may be, you may inclined to take any compensation they are willing to provide and it may not be enough to pay for treatment and any other costs you may have.
