Can a Cyclist File an Insurance Claim?
A cyclist can seek financial recovery for economic and non-economic damages resulting from an accident. Economic damages include things such as medical bills, lost wages, and lost earning capacity. Non-economic damages consist of losses without a specific dollar amount like pain and suffering and emotional distress. The amount of compensation a cyclist can receive depends on various factors, most notably, the severity of the harm they suffered.
Bicycle Accident Injuries
Injuries sustained in a bicycle accident can include the following:
- Lacerations
- Facial injuries
- Broken bones
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Spinal cord injuries
- Paralysis
Severe injuries often require more extensive medical treatments, long-term care, and more time missed from work. Thus, victims may receive greater compensation in these types of cases.
A Naples bicycle accident lawyer can reach out to professionals to evaluate the value of a case. They will also gather evidence, such as police reports, witness statements, and photos of injuries, to determine a fair amount to request from the insurance company.

How Long Does a Bicycle Accident Case Take?
Bicycle accident cases do not have a set duration. Several variables may affect the length. For example, negotiations could take a while if the insurance company is unwilling to pay a fair settlement. Or if talks with the carrier do not end favorably, the cyclist and their personal injury attorney could take the matter to trial.
At Pittman Law Firm, P.L., we understand that clients may have many questions about their cases, especially because the outcome may affect their ability to get the care and resources they need to cover damages associated with their accident.
