Bicycle accident victims in Colorado often have serious medical costs following the accident. An injured victim may find themselves unable to work, putting them in serious financial trouble. There may be various types of compensation available to bicyclists injured by other drivers in Denver. In general, our attorneys work diligently to recover both economic and non-economic types of compensation for bicyclists in these situations.
Colorado law states that bicycle riders can recover compensation for their injuries and other expenses following a bike accident. When filing a personal injury claim against an at-fault party, you can be compensated for:
Economic Damages. Economic damages are the financial costs associated with your bicycle accident. These financial costs can include lost wages, medical bills, lost income, bicycle repairs, or the cost of ongoing care.
Noneconomic Damages. General damages or noneconomic damages cover the loss of personal and intangible items. Noneconomic damages include emotional distress, pain and suffering, loss of life quality, and loss of companionship.
Punitive Damages. Punitive damages occur in some cases and punish the defendant for reckless behavior, such as the disregard for the safety of others.
Our Denver bicycle accident lawyers will review your case and fight against insurance companies for fair compensation.
