Answer:
Having an attorney assist you with an injury claim is always a good idea. In this circumstance, the insurance company for the car that struck you is responsible to pay all of your medical bills related to the accident. Also, the witness should be contacted immediately for a statement as to what they saw happen. Your bike may be covered under the property damage portion of the other driver’s insurance as well. Please secure an estimate for repair of the bicycle. If it is not repairable, then documentation of the fair market value is needed.
