How Do I Pursue Compensation After a Bike Accident in a No-Fault State?

Every state has laws regarding how to pursue compensation after a bike accident and who should be held financially responsible, the accident victim’s insurance provider, the driver’s insurance provider, or the driver. In some no-fault states, the bicyclist will pursue compensation for their medical bills and a portion of their lost wages by filing a claim with their insurer under their Personal Injury Protection (PIP) insurance. In terms of filing a lawsuit to recover compensation for both economic and non-economic damages, a bicycle accident lawyer can review the accident victim’s case to determine if they’re eligible to file a lawsuit.

Serious Injury Threshold

Many at-fault states only allow an accident victim to file a personal injury lawsuit if they meet the serious injury threshold. The criteria for serious injuries also vary by state but can include the loss of a fetus, broken bones, or the significant and permanent loss of an important bodily function. A bicycle accident lawyer will review their client’s medical records and state laws to determine if their client meets the serious injury threshold.

What Compensation Can I Pursue After Being Struck By a Negligent Motorist?

After a bike accident, if you meet certain criteria, you can file a lawsuit against the negligent driver to pursue compensation for your economic and non-economic damages. However, it’s important to work with a skilled bike accident lawyer who knows how to assess your damages, ensuring you pursue the compensation you’re entitled to.
In some cases, the accident victim can pursue compensation for the following damages:

• Pain and suffering
• Past and future medical bills
• Lost wages
• Loss of earning capacity
• Emotional trauma
• Property damage
