Determining the Worth of Your Bicycle Accident Claim in Washington
One of the questions you may be wondering right now is, what is your bicycle accident case worth in the state of Washington? Generally, there are two types of damages you can recover: special damages and general damages.
Special damages are things with easily identifiable dollar figures including medical bills, lost wages, and prescription costs. General damages tend not to have easily identifiable dollar figures. They include pain, suffering, disability, and loss of enjoyment of life.
If your case goes to court, a jury will have to decide on your compensation in special damages and general damages. At the end, the jury will require the at-fault party to pay for these damages together. In short, the value of your case depends on what a specific jury will decide, on a specific day, with your specific case.
The jury is only one factor in determining the value of your case. An excellent bicycle accident attorney plays an essential role in convincing a jury to award compensation at the top of your claim’s value range.
Protecting Your Bicycle Accident Claim’s Value in Washington
There are several things you can do to protect your bicycle accident claim. If possible, we recommend doing the following:
-
- Collect the names, addresses, phone numbers, and insurance information of people who were involved in the bicycle accident.
- Record the names and phone numbers of witnesses.
- Take pictures of the accident scene.
- Call the police or 911 if appropriate.
- Get pictures of your injuries at the scene of the accident.
- If there’s surveillance footage from the area or a 911 tape, request these pieces of evidence as soon as possible or they may be lost.
- Get pictures of your injuries as they are healing.
