Protecting your claim
Keep your bike, helmet, and gear as they are. Photograph the damage, get the driver's insurance and the police report number, and see a doctor right away, even if you feel okay.
Frequently asked questions
What if I wasn't in a bike lane?
That alone doesn't mean you can't recover. What matters is how the crash happened and who acted carelessly.
The driver says they didn't see me. Does that matter?
Not seeing a cyclist is often exactly the kind of carelessness that leads to a claim.
Does my own car insurance help?
Sometimes. Your auto policy may include coverage that applies even when you're on a bike.
