What Compensation Can I Recover After a Bicycle Accident in Lincoln, NE?
After a bicycle accident in Lincoln, you may be able to recover compensation for medical bills, lost wages, reduced earning ability, pain and suffering, and other losses tied to your injuries. What you can recover depends on how the crash affected you.
Because bicyclists have little protection in a collision, injuries can be serious even when a vehicle is not traveling at a high speed. Fractures, head injuries, back problems, and other trauma may require ongoing care.
If you miss work while recovering, lost wages may be included in your claim. A more serious injury that changes the type of work you can do may also affect your future earning ability.
Under Nebraska’s modified comparative negligence rule, your recovery can be reduced if you share fault for the crash. If your percentage of fault reaches the legal threshold, you may be unable to recover damages.
When fault is disputed, the circumstances surrounding the collision can become especially important. Traffic signals, lane position, vehicle movements, and statements from people who saw the crash may help show how it happened.
As you recover, keep track of the financial losses connected to the accident. Medical bills, transportation costs, time away from work, and other expenses can help show the effect the crash has had on you.
During the claims process, a
bicycle accident lawyer can review what happened and explain how the available insurance coverage may apply. An attorney can also discuss how Nebraska law may affect the compensation you can pursue.
