Can I Recover For Injuries in a Bicycle Accident Even If I Wasn’t Wearing a Helmet?
If someone is involved in a bicycle accident as a result of someone else’s negligence, they may be able to seek a claim for damages even if they weren’t wearing a helmet. This claim could include seeking damages for their injuries, medical expenses, lost wages, physical pain, emotional suffering, and scarring or disfigurement they may endure as a result of the accident.
It is important to remember that while failure to wear a helmet does not usually prevent a bicycle accident victim from bringing a claim, if it can be established that the injuries were more serious because they failed to wear a helmet, this failure may be used against them in their case.
