How much compensation you can recover after a bicycle accident in California will depend on the specific circumstances surrounding your case, such as:
And other variables.
The damages you can pursue are broken into two categories: economic damages (special damages) and non-economic damages (general damages).
To prove your demand for economic damages your attorney will use documentation, such as pay stubs, statements from your employer, medical bills, bike repair estimates, and other forms of documentation. Because there is documentary evidence of the value of economic damages, these damages are easily quantified.
Examples of economic damages include:
If your injuries require medical treatment in the future, your bicycle accident lawyer will consult with your treating physicians and specialists to learn more about your injuries and overall health and determine how your injuries will affect your life in the future, what ongoing medical treatment would be required, and what the cost of the future medical treatment would be. This way, your demand for compensation will accurately reflect the compensation you need to continue to receive vital medical care now and in the future.
Your attorney will use pay stubs and statements from your employer detailing the time you have missed at work to calculate compensation for lost wages. If your injuries force you to change positions or careers, or your injuries prevent you from ever returning to work, your attorney can pursue compensation for loss of earning capacity or loss of future earnings
Your bicycle accident attorney will review repair estimates, or documentation regarding the value of your bike and any personal property that was on your person at the time of the accident ( cell phone, etc.) to calculate the value of property damage.
Non-economic damages are subjective and are not easily quantifiable. Your attorney will use the per diem method or the multiplier method to calculate non-economic damages. The per diem method assigns a daily rate for your pain and suffering and multiplies it by the number of days it took you to reach maximum medical improvement.
With the multiplier method, your attorney will use a value between 1.5 and 5, based on the severity of your injuries. Using the chosen value, they will multiply it by the total cost of your economic damages.
Non-economic damages include:
Pain and suffering damages are meant to compensate you for the physical pain and emotional suffering you have endured due to your injuries.
If your injuries have prevented you from attending social activities, participating in sports, hobbies, or other activities you once enjoyed, your attorney may pursue compensation for loss of enjoyment of life.
An accident can be very traumatic and may result in anxiety, depression, anguish, or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
