INJURED WHILE RIDING ELECTRIC BIKE – HIT BY CAR

What can you do if you are hit by a car while riding an electric bike? Are your rights on an electric bike different than if you were on a regular pedal bike? Every year, there are more electric bicycles on the road. For the most part, your rights on an electric bike are the same as if you were on a pedal bike. Our bicycle accident lawyers have handled many cases of a bike hit by a car.

If you are hit by a car while riding an electric bicycle, you are entitled to insurance benefits. If fact, even if the accident is your fault, auto insurance will pay some medical bills and wage loss. This “No-Fault” coverage can come from your own car insurance even though you were on a bike. Further, if you don’t own a car or live with anyone who owns a car, the No-Fault insurance will come from the car that hit you.

However, it is still important to prove the car was at fault. First, No-Fault Benefits are limited. You can only get $20,000 in medical bills and $20,000 in wage loss. Also, there is no compensation for pain and suffering. But if the car was at fault, their liability insurance will also pay compensation that includes pain and suffering.
