What Compensation Can a Bicyclist Seek After Being Hit by a Car in Oxford, MA?

In Massachusetts, bicyclists hurt by a vehicle are not automatically entitled to the same personal injury protection benefits available to passenger vehicle occupants, which means pursuing a claim directly against the at-fault driver's liability insurance typically becomes the primary avenue for recovery. 

Understanding this distinction early and what it means for the specific steps a cyclist should take is one of the most important reasons to consult a bicycle accident attorney promptly after this type of crash.

The types of compensation that may be available in a bicycle accident claim can extend well beyond immediate emergency costs. Medical expenses, ongoing rehabilitation, lost income during recovery, and the broader impact of injuries on a person's ability to work and carry out daily activities are all categories of damages that may be considered depending on the specific circumstances involved. 

Bicyclists have no physical protection in a collision with a motor vehicle, and injuries sustained at even moderate speeds can be serious enough to require extended medical care and produce lasting physical consequences. For that reason, documenting the full scope of both current and future losses before any settlement is considered is especially important in bicycle crash claims.

Beyond the at-fault driver's liability coverage, additional sources of compensation may also be worth reviewing. If the at-fault driver's policy limits are insufficient to cover the full extent of a cyclist's losses, underinsured motorist coverage, if carried by the cyclist or a household member, may provide further protection. Uninsured motorist coverage may similarly apply if the other driver carried no insurance at all. 

An attorney may be able to help an injured cyclist identify all applicable sources of compensation and ensure that any resolution reached reflects the full scope of their losses.
