The damages you may be entitled to after a bicycle accident will depend on the specifics of your case. Typically, as a plaintiff or their representative, you can claim compensation for:

• Costs for emergency care, surgeries, hospital stays, medications, physical therapy, and any future medical treatments related to your injuries.
• The time you were unable to work due to your injuries and potential loss of future earnings if you're unable to return to your previous job;
• Physical pain, emotional distress, and trauma resulting from the accident.
• Costs for repairing or replacing your bicycle and any damaged personal items.
• Any other costs incurred due to the accident, like transportation to medical appointments.

Washington, DC, follows a strict "contributory negligence" rule. What this means is that if you're found to be even slightly at fault for the accident (as little as 1%), you could be barred from recovering any compensation from the other party. This law makes it especially important to have an attorney who can help build a strong case that minimizes your fault and counters any claims of contributory negligence.

The District of Columbia is the one place you shouldn't file a personal injury claim without legal representation. From the no-fault laws to the plaintiff-unfriendly contributory negligence system, it's difficult to navigate these legal hurdles without a professional. Tell us about your case today.
