Damages You Can Recover in a Santa Ana Bicycle Accident
You will likely suffer financial and non-financial damages from the accident. We will assess the dollar value of both and determine how much you can demand from the liable party. If multiple parties owe you damages, we can contact each of them and pursue compensation on your behalf.
Common damages in bicycle accident cases include:
- Medical expenses, including emergency care costs, hospital stays, surgeries, tests, rehabilitation, and ongoing medical care.
- Property damage, covering repairs or replacement of the bicycle and other damaged personal belongings.
- Lost income or wages due to missed work days during recovery.
- Loss of earning capacity if the injuries affect your ability to work or earn income in the future.
- Pain and suffering, or the physical and emotional distress you experienced from the accident.
- Emotional distress and mental anguish stemming from the trauma of the accident and its aftermath.
- Loss of consortium, or how injuries affect your relationships and quality of life.
You do not have to figure out which losses you can demand or their monetary value. It can be difficult to determine, especially if you have various kinds of losses or losses with no fixed dollar value. We will do the math and make sure your financial recovery request accurately reflects your damages.
