When you are injured in a car accident caused by another party’s negligence, you will, most likely, have the right to collect compensation for your injuries. The amount of damages you may collect depends on a number of considerations. Some—such as medical expenses and lost wages—are relatively easy to calculate while others—such as pain and suffering—are much more complicated. If you hope to collect damages for your pain and suffering following an accident, it is important to understand what rights the law provides.

While cars and bicycles are supposed to share the road, every year thousands of bicyclists are injured by drivers who fail to follow all the safety rules. If you have been injured in a bicycle accident you need to understand what your rights are.
