What Damages Can I Recover After a Bicycle Accident?
After a bicycle accident in Orlando, you're entitled to recover various damages that can help you feel whole again. These damages include:
- Medical expenses for treatments related to your injuries (both immediate and future).
- Lost wages if you've been unable to work due to your injuries.
- Loss of future earning capacity if you're unable to return to your previous job due to the injuries you sustained.
- Pain and suffering for the physical pain and emotional distress you've experienced.
- Property damage, which covers repair or replacement costs of your personal property damaged in the accident.
When to File a Claim With the Other Party Under Florida's No-Fault Laws
In Florida, the no-fault insurance system primarily requires you to turn to your own Personal Injury Protection (PIP) insurance for initial coverage of medical bills and lost wages, regardless of who was at fault. With that said, you can file a claim against the other party if your injuries are severe, surpassing the serious injury threshold defined by Florida law, or if your damages exceed your PIP coverage.
This serious injury threshold typically involves significant and permanent loss of a bodily function, permanent injury, significant and permanent scarring or disfigurement, or death. Our bicycle accident attorney can help you understand if your situation qualifies for stepping outside the no-fault system to pursue additional compensation from the other party.
What Does Florida's PIP Insurance Cover and to What Extent?
Florida's Personal Injury Protection (PIP) insurance is designed to cover you regardless of who is at fault in an accident. It covers:
- 80% of reasonable medical expenses related to the accident, up to your policy's limit.
- 60% of lost wages if you're unable to work due to your injuries, also within the limits of your policy.
- a $5,000 death benefit (where applicable) in addition to the medical and disability benefits.
It's important to note that PIP does not cover pain and suffering or other non-economic damages, which is why pursuing additional claims might be necessary for more severe accidents.
