    Damages You May Be Entitled to After a Bicycle Accident

    • 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.

    How Washington DC's Contributory Negligence Laws Can Impact Your Claim

    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.
