Which Mistakes Should I Avoid After a Bicycle Accident in Knowlton Twp, NJ?

After a bicycle accident in Knowlton Township, you should avoid delaying medical care, giving a recorded statement before you know all the facts, or accepting an early settlement before you understand the full extent of your losses. These mistakes could make it harder to recover fair compensation for your injuries and other losses. 

When speaking with an insurance company, give only details you clearly remember. Guessing about the vehicle’s speed, distance, or movements could create problems if photographs, video, or other evidence later shows something different.

If an insurer offers an early payment, consider whether it covers the full effect of the crash. Depending on your injuries, a bicycle accident claim may include medical expenses, lost income, bicycle damage, pain and suffering, and other related losses.

Because New Jersey follows modified comparative negligence, your share of fault can affect how much compensation you receive. Your recovery may be reduced by your percentage of responsibility, and you generally cannot recover damages if you are more than 50% at fault.

In New Jersey, you generally have two years from the date of the crash to file a personal injury lawsuit. Missing the filing deadline may prevent you from pursuing compensation through the courts.

If fault is disputed, traffic camera footage, nearby surveillance video, photographs, and statements from people who saw the collision may help show what happened. This evidence can also help determine whether the driver, bicyclist, or both contributed to the crash.

During the claims process, a bicycle accident lawyer can investigate the crash, gather evidence, and communicate with the insurance company on your behalf.
